Laughter is the best medicine..!

The Readers Digest had a page called, "Laughter is the Best Medicine", which was filled with really laughable humour. But doctors by themselves can be quite witty, and very often when I go with my doctor wife to these medical parties of hers, I find her colleagues very clever and amusing people on top of being extremely capable professionals.
Here are some witticisms by the medical fraternity, dedicated to 'My Doctor who is always in action . . '
Let me tell you about my doctor. He's very good! If you tell him you want a second opinion, He'll go out and come in again!
He treated one woman for yellow jaundice for three years ..before he realized she was Chinese.
Another time, he gave a patient six months to live. At the end of the six months, the patient hadn't paid his bill, so, the doctor gave him another six months.
While he was talking to me, his nurse came in and said, "Doctor, there is a man here who thinks he's invisible."
The doctor said, "Tell him I can't see him."
Another time, a man came running in the office and yelled, "Doctor, doctor! - my son just swallowed a roll of film!"
The doctor calmly replied, "Well let's just wait and see what develops."
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?"
I remember one time I told my doctor, I had a ringing in my ears. His advice: "Don't answer it."
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 -If they don't work, give me a ring."
Another guy told the doctor that he thought. He was a deck of cards. The doctor simply said, " Go sit over there. I'll deal with you later."
When I told my doctor I broke my leg in two places, He told me to stop going to those places!
You know, 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..!"
But I guess when you're sick and feeling it's the end of the world there's nothing like a doctor who can make you laugh..!
