Just Back from a hospital appointment

[mrs_overall]

I had to laugh when the doctor said "That's a nasty scar, what happened there?" I was baffled until I realised he was looking at the inside of my leg where the seam of my jeans had left a mark. His 5 years of training had obviously paid off lol

Hope all is well MrsO. Did he blush?

When stepson was a junior doctor and home for a holiday he rushed outside to help a young girl who had fallen off her horse. After an examination carried out with the enthusiasm of a new doctor he diagnosed a broken leg and called an ambulance. That was when the girl told him it wasn`t a broken bone......It was the sausage roll she had tucked in her jodhpurs for her lunch.

I've just spluttered a half cup of tea over the computer screen

un-believable. how on earth can they safely practice medicine?

[mrs_overall]

Lol gness!
It was difficult to tell if he blushed (hope this doesn't sound racist) because he was black.
My eldest is a med student and I won't let him near any of the family!

[askyourgran]

Hope all is OK mrs-o.

Lol gness.

[gness]

I know. I once had a call from him in his surgery asking me to describe chickenpox.:-)

[mrs_overall]

Fine thanks ayg, just a routine M.O.T. xx

[Sqad]

LOL.

Brings back the day that we qualified....4 of us marched down the Whitechapel Road to Joe lyons for a cup of coffee and came across a small crowd surrounding a woman having an epileptic fit. Without looking or breaking stride, we strode passed the small gathering and no word was spoken.

When we got a cup of coffee and sat down, we all admitted that at that moment we had forgotten how to treat an epileptic.......LOL

One of us when on to be a Consultant Neurologist.

Did you pass the emissions test?

[gness]

Must only be in films they shout "I`m a doctor. let me through!"

[mrs_overall]

Lol@ sqad!

I once came across an elderly lady who had fainted in the street. Some passing clown who must have watched one episode of Casualty and considered himself an expert decided to "resuscitate" her. He gave her a couple of rescue breaths which forced her dentures down her throat and stopped her breathing. He then scarpered just as I took over.

[pusskin]

ha ha What a funny entertaining lot you are! Keep 'em coming x haha

[Sqad]

A bit of personal embarrassed......

For the appointment of consultant surgeon, I had to go to the Regional Board which was at Harrogate and I was interviewed by at least 16 interviewers sitting around a crescentic table with me at the epicentre.
At the end of the interview, i was asked to wait outside with the other interviewees and as i walked out, I opened the door and walked into the broom cupboard by mistake.

I got the job.

Friend sorted out an epileptic having bad fit in Barking one evening after college... then pulled the paramedic who attended...

[craft1948]

lol sqad I remember being on an interviewing panel one day and one of the candidates opened the door, walked in and promptly tripped over the door mat. His response of "I couldn't have fallen in better company" got him the job. (I didn't vote for him)

Many moons ago I was in the police force and our sergeant booked in a 'drunk and incapable.'
He fancied himself as a bit of a medic and shone his torch in the drunk's eye. When he got not dilation of the pupil he called the police doctor who told him, in front of all the shift, the drunk had a glass eye.
He never lived it down. (Should have tried the other eye as well).
