The Doctor's Office - Tales of the Weird

[JonSR77]

Had my annual eye exam today. Everything fine, nothing wrong. Need some eye drops, but that is about it.

Doc's mom and my mom were friends.

Doc and I also share something else...both of us have performed stand-up comedy. Doc is still active. I really haven't done anything in quite awhile.

So, you know, one comedian meets another comedian...we are immediately like little kids, telling each other the worst jokes possible and laughing like hyenas.

Nurse comes in and stares at us. "You know, this is a doctor's office, right?" She says this to the doc...

Doc goes, "Oh, Ok...hey, Jon, I guess we have to get some work done, right?

Fun times at the doctor...

Even better? or worse?

About 12 years ago? something like that...I am getting a colonoscopy. Now, I tend to have bad reactions to drugs. And anesthetics can be super brutal on me. So, I am very very nervous.

And when I am nervous, I tell jokes. So, I am telling jokes to the anesthesiologist. And this guy is LOVING it. I am KILLING it. With my audience of one. This guy is SUPER into it. And then, he has to leave the room.

He comes back in the room, filled with enthusiasm and says to me, "Listen, you know what you are doing. Let me tell you this joke and tell if I am doing it good, or if I need to do something different..."

I am about to go under and this guy wants me to conduct a comedy seminar!!!

I wish I was making this up, but I am not.

I am thinking, "Hey, that medicine thing...could you just concentrate on that, uh, please?"

But, I have to keep the peace, some I give him his comedy lesson and pretty soon I am unconscious.

(by the way, his comedy chops? Virtually non-existent)

It reminds me of Robin Williams in his Patch Adams role as a comic doctor. It’s nice to see the human side of doctors, IMO; some are devoid of warmth and almost robotic. That being said, there’s a time and a place for everything, and perhaps a colonoscopy isn‘t conducive to comedy. I guess it falls to every person to determine what they would enjoy, or not…

I can remember 2 strange encounters I had with 2 different Doctors. Years ago we had a family Doctor who was weird. I would see him once a month for a B12 shot. He would lean me against his desk to give me the shot. He would lean against me and something hard would be against me. it took me a long time to realize what it was. He also would deliver your baby. I found out later when I saw a new GYN that the old Doctor went by the nickname, 3-finger Joe. Another Doctor I saw for ear problems told me on the first visit that I was going to make him a fortune because I has so many scar tissues in my ears and I did.

The dentist I go to has a great sense of humor. This last visit he thought I was being serious.

I asked him if he thought it was inappropriate for a doctor to have sex with a patient.

His answer was it is inappropriate & I should 1st. consult with the person that was assaulted, then report the doctor.

I told him I couldn't consult with the person because the patient was my dog.
