made me laugh

These came from a forward I got, and it really got me laughing.

At the beginning of my shift I placed a stethoscope on an elderly and slightly deaf female patient's anterior chest wall. 'Big breaths,' I instructed. Yes, they used to be,' replied the patient.

As a new, young MD doing his residency in OB , I was quite embarrassed when performing female pelvic exams . To cover my embarrassment I had unconsciously formed a habit of whistling softly. The middle-aged lady upon whom I was performing this exam suddenly burst out laughing and further embarrassing me. I looked up from my work and sheepishly said, 'I'm sorry. Was I tickling you?'

She replied, 'No doctor, but the song you were whistling was, I wish I was an Oscar Mayer Wiener.


LOL!
