Headlines We Love
Hospitals are Sued by 7 Foot Doctors
(BOY, ARE THEY TALL!)
While I worked as a volunteer at a hospital, I got to know a little girl named Liz who was suffering from a rare and serious disease. Her only
chance of recovery was a blood transfusion from her 5-year old brother, who had miraculously survived the same disease and had developed the antibodies needed to combat the illness. The doctor explained the situation to her little brother, and asked the little boy if he would be willing to give his blood to his sister.
I saw him hesitate for only a moment before taking a deep breath and saying, "Yes, I'll do it if it will save her."
As the transfusion progressed, he lay in bed next to his sister and smiled, as we all did, seeing the color returning to her cheek.!
Then his face grew pale and his smile faded. He looked up at the doctor and asked with a trembling voice, "Will I start to die right away?"
Being young, the little boy had misunderstood the doctor. He thought he was going to have to give his sister ALL of his blood in order to save her.

"Damn," the doctor exclaimed in disbelief. "But then, what happened to your other ear?"
The salesman replied, "Whoever it was called back."

Morris replied, "Just doing what you said, Doc. 'Get a hot mamma and be cheerful.'"
The doctor said, "I didn't say that. I said, 'You've got a heart murmur. Be careful.'"

During the New York doctor's strike of 1975, the death rate fell by more than fifteen percent.
As the lawyer slowly came out of the anesthesia after surgery, he said, "Why are all the blinds drawn, doctor?"
"There's a big fire across the street," the doctor replied. "We didn't
want you to think the operation was a failure."
Doctor says to patient: You've got to ease up on the sports. You've got jogger's knee, golfer's toe, tennis elbow and - worst of all - boxer's brain.

Mike: How do I know? I haven't even finished drinking the bath yet!

Mike: And did he?

Patient: Not much really.

The mechanic shouted across the garage, "Hey, Doc, can I ask you a question?"
The famous surgeon, a bit surprised, walked over to the mechanic working on the motorcycle.
The mechanic straightened up, wiped his hands on a rag and asked, "So Doc, look at this engine. I also can open hearts, take valves out, fix em, put in new parts and when I finish this will work just like a new one.

The surgeon paused, smiled and leaned over, and whispered to the mechanic: "Try doing it with the engine running!"
