Medical Jokes

I know this is a chess blog, but due to my recent appointments, I just had to look up some medical jokes!

Here's one:

Patient: It's been one month since my last visit and I still feel miserable.
Doctor: Did you follow the instructions on the medicine I gave you?
Patient: I sure did - the bottle said 'keep tightly closed.'

This joke and more at http://www.guy-sports.com/humor/jokes/jokes_doctor.htm#Five_of_the_Best_Short_Medical_Jokes

In particular, reading some of the one-liners reminded me of my surgery, in which my doctor said:
1) "It broke" (after inserting one of the needles) - I still don't know exactly he meant
2) "Get me more elastoplast" (to one of the assistants during the surgery)
* note: this was the good doctor, who was very helpful overall

Hope everyone else is doing okay!
