A woman needed to visit the doctor’s office just to have her throat swabbed for a culture.
She sat in the waiting room for quite some time with her legs crossed, reading a magazine while other patients came and went.
Suddenly, her turn was called, but when she stood up to go in, she discovered her leg was “asleep”. Not wanting to keep the nurse waiting, she limped and staggered toward the inner office door.
She noticed one elderly lady nudging another who sat beside her, as the two of them sympathetically watched her painful progress.
Five minutes later, her procedure completed and her leg back to normal, she walked easily back into the waiting room.
As she strode past the two elderly ladies, she overheard one whisper triumphantly to the other, “See, Martha, I TOLD you he was a wonderful doctor!”
==============================================
Doctor Simon is known throughout London as one of the best consultants on arthritis.
He always has a waiting room full of people who need his advice and specialist treatment.
One day, an elderly lady, slowly struggles into his waiting room. She is completely bent over and leans heavily on her walking stick. A chair is found for her. Eventually, her turn comes to go into Doctor Simon’s office.
15 minutes later, to everyone’s surprise, she comes briskly out of his room walking almost upright. She is holding her head high and has a smile on her face.
A woman in the waiting room says, “It’s unbelievable, a miracle even. You walk in bent in half and now you walk out erect. What a fantastic doctor he is. Tell me, what did Doctor Simon do to you?”
“Miracle, shmiracle, he just gave me a longer walking stick.”
==============================================
A woman went to her doctor’s office.
She was seen by one of the new doctors, but after about 4 minutes in the examination room, she burst out screaming and ran down the hall.
An older doctor stopped her and asked what the problem was, and she explained.
He had her sit down and relax in another room.
The older doctor marched back to the first and demanded, “What’s the matter with you? Mrs. Terry is 63 years old, she has four grown children and seven grandchildren, and you told her she was pregnant?”
The new doctor smiled smugly as he continued to write on his clipboard.
“Cured her hiccups though, didn’t it?”
