Humor Brief

Let me tell you about my doctor...

If you tell him you want a second opinion, he will go out and come in again.

I remember one time I told my doctor I had a ringing in my ears. 
His advice: "Don't answer it."

While he was talking to me his nurse came in and said, "Doctor, there is a man here who thinks he is invisible." 
The doctor said, "Tell him I can't see him."

One patient came in and said, "Doctor, I have a serious memory problem." 
The doctor asked, "When did it start?" 
The man replied, "When did what start?" 


My doctor sure has his share of nut cases. One said to him, "Doctor, I think I'm a bell." 
The doctor gave him some pills and said, "Here, take these, and if they don't work, give me a ring."

When I told my doctor I broke my leg in two places, he told me to stop going to those places.

But doctors can be so frustrating. You wait a month and a half for an appointment. Then he says, "I wish you had come to me sooner."

For the Health of It:  A sense of humor is mostly about attitude—how you perceive and respond to things. Since actions are rooted in attitudes, a positive attitude generally results in positive outcomes. Likewise, a sense of humor can help you cope with difficult situations and even find possibilities in problems or opportunities in obstacles.
