Not a doctor, but my human sexuality professor in grad school had some interesting stories. He worked a lot in very conservative Christian communities and so a lot of times people got married with no sex education. One couple was in therapy because neither one of them enjoyed sex or ever had an orgasm.
After having them talk through step by step what they did in bed, he learned the guy was just sticking it in and nothing else. He told the guy to move back and forth next time and see what happened. They couple came back one more time to say "THANK YOU!!!!!
They couple came back one more time to say "THANK YOU!!!!!" and didn't need any more sessions. We've all been to a hospital at least a couple of times in our lives, and those visits are never, never pleasant. Not only you have to answer a bunch of very personal questions, get poked and prodded but also often endure a great deal of pain, which probably have brought you there in the first place. This list that you'll find below are real stories about the second category of hospital staff and their ingenious ways of keeping patients' spirit up. A year later she shows up for her doctor's appointment, and she's morbidly obese. She must have put 100lbs on an already obese frame.
We ask if she's breastfeeding, she says yes. We ask how she's getting the extra calories for the breastfeeding, and she tells us the Clinic told her to eat 1-2 bowls of plain oatmeal a day. However, as far as the potential for awkward situations goes, going to the doc's can be comedy gold. From hilariously misinformed patients to doctors with a wickedly dry sense of humor, we at Bored Panda had compiled a list of short stories when doctor/patient interactions were just too funny. So check our anthology of the most awkward questions by patients, brittle humored doctors, and hilarious nurses, who also have plenty of funny stories to tell.
Thanks to them you might have avoided a hugely embarrassing story. A year later she shows up for her doctor's appointment, and she's morbidly obese. We ask if she's breastfeeding, she says yes.

And who among us hasn't had a memorable visit to the doctor? You get poked, prodded and asked some pretty bizarre and invasive questions. True, this page#8, and I am drowned in some strong emotions which were quite unknown to me till this day. Like Pamela24 said, its a mixed feeling of being sad and joyful at same time.
Being a doctor or a nurse or an EMT personal etc is such a tough job. 8 years after I still hear the screams in my head, I just can't get rid of them. I have no idea how people who actually work there for whole lives manage such experiences.
Once you check out this list of 65 funny things that have happened at the hospital, you'll see what we mean. It turns out, there is plenty of fun to be had inside the various wards of the hospital as well. While I am a doctor, this happened to my wife, also a doctor. Female pt came in complaining of infertility. She then entered a same-sex relationship and again never got pregnant even though she really wanted to, leading her to believe she was infertile. When my wife tried to explain that conception requires sperm as well as an egg, the pt was incredulous, and exclaimed that she "didn't need a man in my life" and she didn't like being judged.
Perhaps needless to say the patient was lost to followup. I have a friend that works in a doctors office in Amish Country in Pennsylvania. They had an Amish couple come in, saying that the wife couldn't get pregnant. They ran a couple tests, and everything was coming up normal. So then they gave him a cup and asked him for a semen sample. He had been pissing in his wife, thinking that is how you impregnate someone.
I was going to a doctor for four years about my back. Like, literally every few months I would go in and go, 'Look, the pain is still there. I don't understand what is going on.' They would give me painkillers and me off. After four years, I got really exasperated.
I was like, 'When are you actually going to do something about this? Nothing has been done.' And, at the time, the doctor that I was seeing told me that every time I had gone in they had put it down as a separate, weight-related back issue. Don't get me wrong, being overweight can cause many problems, and indeed with your back. But this was because I fell down the stairs and tore two muscles in my back.
Four years and they were noting it down as weight.

A recent Reddit thread about the most peculiar, obvious and common sense things healthcare professionals had to tell their patients received more than 26,600 upvotes and got over 11,900 comments. It's pretty incredible how quickly the thread went viral, but it's no surprise why it became so popular. I chuckled at how one doctor had to tell a patient that 'probiotic' and 'antibiotic' aren't the same thing. Be sure to scroll down and check out our interview with Reddit user elleboes who made the Reddit thread in the first place.
Just got this story from my girlfriend's step-dad who is a neurosurgeon. He had an OBGYN friend who had a couple who couldn't get pregnant. Apparently they had been raised in some religious fundamentalist cult and didn't understand how sex worked.
The guy was just rubbing his penis against her leg and ejaculating on her thigh. They had an Amish couple come in, saying that the wife couldn't get pregnant. One night my friend John and I were sitting at a bar where he used to work, when an attractive woman, a former co-worker, came in and sat next to him. She told him she had just had a fight with her husband, a police officer, and needed to get out of the house for a while. An old guy walks into a bar and the bartender asks for ID. "You've got to be kidding," he said. "I'm almost 60 years old." The bartender apologized, but said he had to see the license.
The guy showed his ID, then paid and told the bartender to keep the change. The bartender put the change in the tip cup. When this man went to a new doctor's office for the first time, he was shocked to learn that the doctor was also a pirate. Not only was he wearing a full pirate's outfit, but he even had a fake parrot and told several pirate jokes to the confused patient.
I once had a 20 year old and his girlfriend come in at 2 am freaking out becuase "something had tore his throat open". So didn't want him to lose confidence in me, clearly something had happened, so I'm looking, and looking….there is nothing wrong with this kids throat. Finally I say look, it seems ok…what do you feel or see? "I dont feel it but LOOK ITS RIGHT THERE".
Somehow this kid had gotten to the age of 20 without ever noticing his uvula. Girlfriend was also horrified….I told them it was normal. So I told them I was about to blow their minds and showed him his girlfriends uvula.
Minds blown, another life saved in the ER. Life as a nurse, doctor or any other healthcare professional can be incredibly rewarding and unbelievably difficult at the same time. There are many pros, but the list of cons can sometimes seem to be equally as long , especially after a hard day of helping patients, not all of whom are the brightest of the bunch. Well, what happens when you combine these uncomfortable stories with the less than memorable faces on stock photos?
Yes, our collection of photos below will have you chuckling from the waiting room to the exam room. From horrifyingly expensive doctor's visits to awkward questions, it's all there. Scroll down below to see the comedic side of all the things about going to the hospital you never thought could be funny. There's also a good chance, that if you yourself are a doctor, you'll find these funny memes about work very relatable. Worked in an optical practice in the UK. His asigmatism has increased by like 3 diopters.
That's a load and definitely shouldn't happen. Told him to come back in a week and we will retest it. Recheck again, another optician checks it. They run through health, smoking, drinking, medicine. The guy looks stressed as put his head in his hands and put his thumbs against the side of his eyes.
The optician asks if he does that a lot. Apparently whenever he's stressed he pushes the sides of his eyes. He's done it so much that he has physically changed the front of his eyeball and ruined his vision. Never thought we'd have to tell another human being to not squeeze their own eyeballs. Also had to tell a kid to not look at laser pointers, but he was just dumb as .
I was taking care of a woman in her late twenties, definitely not a teen mom, married, with a job. She got to 10 centimeters so I did my usual speech about how to push effectively. She nods and pushes when I tell her and she did great, really moved the baby down. I'm excited but I notice she's whispering to her husband.
He looks at me and says " so why do you want her to do that? " I was a bit taken aback and very slowly explained that she had to that to get the baby out. At this point I feel like I'm the butt of a practical joke, but it didn't stop.
He kept asking if there wasn't "a better way to do it" and muttering that I was being ridiculous. She continued to push and thankfully didn't take long because she kept rolling her eyes at me. I was thrilled to hand this lovely couple off to the doctor. They looked slightly more convinced when he told her to do exactly what I had told her to do and then a baby magically appeared. If she'd ended up in a c section I'm sure she'd have been convinced I had done it all to torture her.
Best Life reveals that it's important to let your doctor know if you spend lots of time in front of the computer screen, even if you're embarrassed to tell them the real number. Furthermore, healthcare professionals really need to know if you've lost a lot of weight without trying, if you're experiencing chest pains or if your poop is black. I once walked into my patient's room responding to his call light. He had an accident and peed on the floor on the way to the bathroom and was now laying in bed stark naked calling for me. His wife, I guess oblivious to all this, was just dancing in the pee. Like eyes closed, hands over her head, hips swaying.
I was taking the history of a guy in clinic and I asked about his past medical problems, including if he had had any heart attacks. He would finish his beer, pull out his wallet and look at a picture of his wife, order another beer take out his wallet and looks at a picture of his wife. He did this several times, finally, the bartender asks, why after you finish a beer you take out your wallet and look at a picture of your wife.
The guy says as soon as she starts looking better to me, I go home. The patient went to see the doctor to get his wisdom teeth removed. All was going well until the doctor put the man under anesthesia. Then the doctor's real personality started to show. His hair got longer and he pulled out a pair of pliers.
There is no better way to break the bad news to a patient than with a cute animal photo. It really helps soften the blow for everyone involved. This fun book contains a different one for every possible devastating situation that doctors encounter. The doctor and the little girl are playing a friendly game of Operation together to prepare for her upcoming surgery.
Especially trying to get the funny bone out. There is actually a video game version of a rectal exam that doctors have to play in some medical schools before graduating. It's one of the least fun video games we have ever seen and we can't believe it is a real thing.
