Have you ever noticed when you go to see a doctor and there is a waiting area full of patients and the girl at the Reception asks you all these awkward questions? What are you supposed to do?
Many people feel quite embarrassed actually to announce their ailment to a roomful of strangers with inquisitive eyes and ears.
Well, this 75 year old walked into a Doctor's office, and the Receptionist asked him what was the matter with him.
"My d*i*c*k is not working properly," he said.
The waiting room became a little more hushed.
The receptionist said "You should not have said that! You can see how embarassing it is for the other patients sitting here!"
"Well, what should I have said when you asked me what was wrong with me?" asked the man.
"You could have said you had an ear problem or something like that, and then explained later to the Doctor," said the Receptionist.
"Ok. Let me try again," he said.
So he walked out and came back in again. When the Receptionist asked him what was wrong with him, he said he had an ear infection. The Receptionist smiled. She was happy to see she had influenced him.
"And what is actually wrong with your ear?" she asked.
"Well," he said after a little pause," I cant piss out of it!"
If you mess with the seniors.......

Is that a true story Zonker? I always wonder what gives the receptionist the right to ask what's wrong with you!

I don't go to see my doctor much, I have to admit I don't have that much confidence in GPs. My eldest daughter had septic arthritis at 5 years old and was in a great deal of pain. The doctor diagnosed a pulled muscle and told me to rub some Deep Heat on her hip

I attended the Doctors reception on another matter when I couldn't delay the visit much longer. I asked to make an appointment at the anti-natal clinic. The receptionist insisted I have a pregnancy test before she would give me an appointment. I was 38 weeks pregnant and gave birth before I attended my first appointment. I knew I was pregnant!

Yes BM, this is almost a true story told to me by a Physician freind. And to give away a little of his trade secrets, they always like to know beforehand when seeing a new patient so they can reach for that much -leafed-through book (or the iPhone, iPad nowadays) before the patient confronts them with a symptom they have never heard of before! Hence the Recepionist asking all those probing questions
Even I know that an infected hip joint is a serious condition!

reminds of te time when i saw that doctor in london, i was 13 years old and i was suffering from a hernia (which i didnt know what it was at the time), the nurses would come and look me in the eye and go awwwwww whats wroong boo boo boo and sh1t, i would say: my balls dont feel ok, i think i have a third testicle lol, honestly though, my father told me before to tell them exactly what was wrong with me just incase he wasnt around hehehe. hold on, maybe thats why there were about five nurses waiting outside my room when i left for the surgery, they all went aww there he is, good luck, bye bye, give us a smile will ya, awww he's so adorable lol.

Quite the opposite Zonker!!! I have a great sense of humor (haven't you noticed?), a wicked tongue and a very thick skin.
