Comedic Proof That Laughter Is Crucial In The Medical Field
It’s safe to say that the medical industry takes itself very seriously. It has to be, because the health of a large number of people is at stake. This does not, however, imply that those working in the field do not enjoy a good joke. In fact, given its importance to both medical professionals’ mental health and patients’ well-being, we’d say that a sense of humor is a necessity in the medical field. The following are a few examples.
Adding to the X-Ray
Even though X-rays are used to examine the human body’s internal organs, they can also reveal information that isn’t biological in nature. This image is a good example of this.
Adding To The X Ray
The doctor, any other nurses present, and perhaps even the patient herself laughed out loud at this one, too. Is there any truth to the claim that such events are rare?
Representing Your Field
The needles and the syringes that you deal with every day in your job as a nurse are gruesome. If you know how to make those two things more friendly, you can use them to great effect in your practice.
Representing Your Field
Make syringe Jell-O shots for guests to enjoy at a party, for example. As a way of saying, “See, nurses can be cool, too!” ‘We’re a fun bunch!’ Of course, that’s what this list is all about.
From the Top
You might think that doctors and nurses are the only ones who know how to have a good time, but even those in charge of hospitals know how to get a good laugh from time to time. Medical caps like this one are an example.
From The Top
We’re not sure why the decision makers thought this was a good idea. They don’t appear to be very experienced. However, given how frightening the medical field can be, it may be a good idea for medical professionals to appear more friendly.
The Lone Wolf
There is often only a village doctor in countries without a well-established medical system. They may even have a degree in the field they’re working in. Possibly not at all.
The Lone Wolf
When the local doctor falls ill, what happens? They can’t really go to a doctor because they’re the only ones. A doctor that does not go to the hospital may be questionable in terms of their credentials.
My EMT Buddies
Strange occurrences may occur if you and your colleagues are in the medical field. Alternatively, you and your roommates may be EMTs, but your roommates aren’t. You’d think calling an ambulance and enlisting the help of your friends would be strange.
My EMT Buddies
But you can never be sure that your friends are doing their jobs professionally because friendship often gets in the way of such things. Even so, they are still EMTs, so you should be able to put your faith in them, no? Right?
Stare Into the Abyss
It’s difficult to gain a basic understanding of how the brain functions. You also learn a lot about your own mind by learning these things. As a result, you learn more about yourself, and you may not like what you discover.
Stare Into The Abyss
So the joke here is made by someone who studies the human mind. In this case, even though we haven’t seen what they’ve seen, we can understand their perspective. We can see why the psychiatry learning process is a little out of control.
Prepare for the Dark
Though we’ve already cracked a joke about night shift, you couldn’t have imagined that there would be more than one. Many people’s nightmares are brought to fruition by working the night shift.
Prepare For The Dark
Toothpicks, with their sharp points and all, are not an ideal tool for this application, and we don’t recommend using them this way. Consider switching to coffee instead, which works just as well without causing any physical harm.
A Little Creepy, but Not Wrong
You may be surprised to learn that if you are injured, an EMT may have to remove your clothing. In the event you’ve been injured internally, they can’t risk moving your body around to take your clothes off normally.
A Little Creepy, But Not Wrong
For those of us who are more introverted, this is something to keep in mind when driving. If you get into an accident and need EMTs, strangers will be able to see your naked body. Of course, these people are experts, but isn’t it still a little unnerving?
Teamwork Makes the Dream Work
There is a lot that nurses have to deal with. Despite the fact that they work together as a group, the majority of the blame is often placed on a single individual. Snarky comments from nurses who are used to this kind of situation are a sign of how they handle it. A whiff of bitterness can be detected.
Teamwork Makes The Dream Work
Perhaps a little more than a little. But we can’t really blame anyone for being bitter about a situation like this. Being the only one to take the blame for everyone else’s shortcomings and mistakes is never fun.
Risk It All
It’s not uncommon for doctors and nurses to be asked to perform some downright bizarre procedures. And in many cases, they are unable to do anything but crack a few jokes and accept it. But putting yourself in the path of a hurricane is probably too much.
Risk It All
For those of us who need money, we might do whatever it takes to get it. This is how the world works at times. That’s still not enough to make us do what you want us to do.
A Little Concerning
We’re not fluent in the language that appears to be Cyrillic, and these medical professionals aren’t either. We do, however, grasp the significance of the box’s small warning sign, which is both amusing and alarming at the same time.
A Little Concerning
Is it common to see people with chainsaws out in the wild in that country? Or are they just making a lighthearted joke about one of the most bizarre uses of their medical equipment?
How You Know
You don’t want to see a lot of ambulances on your way to work if you’re a medical professional. When you see more of these signs, you know that your day will be even busier.
How You Know
On the other hand, we can imagine how frustrated these professionals must be when they encounter three or four ambulances on their way to the office. We don’t think it’s worth the effort.
Staying Quiet
It’s best to keep quiet and let the patient sleep if at all possible when they’re unconscious. The problem is that squeaky shoes can be a problem. Joking about it is the only way to deal with this situation!
Staying Quiet
That, and I’m a little bit sorry about it. Sleeping patients, we apologize for interrupting your beauty sleep. It’s not like the nurses mean it. They have no choice but to accept it.
Working With What You Have
While hair ties may be relatively inexpensive, it doesn’t always follow that they are readily available. Despite the fact that she was missing an essential piece of equipment, this nurse made do with something that every nurse carries around with her: gloves.
Working With What You Have
While we don’t expect it to become the latest fashion trend, don’t you think it did a good job for a latex glove? If there is no other option, perhaps more medical professionals will start doing this.
Eye Candy
Most medical professionals work in a co-ed environment, so romantic relationships aren’t all that uncommon. On the other hand, there are times when you just want to look at attractive people as you go about your daily routine.
Eye Candy
If the hot guy they work with decides to leave, it’s understandable that some nurses would be upset about it. It’s a great way to keep your stress and frustration levels in check while you’re working hard!
The Dino Has a Point
When you have a valid reason for being in the emergency room, sitting around isn’t much fun. If you have to wait, however, you should take comfort in the fact that you are not going to perish. Those who are hurried to the hospital are the ones who are most at risk.
The Dino Has A Point
And if a teeny-tiny dinosaur is the one to deliver that information to you, all the better! If you ever find yourself in need of medical attention at an urgent care facility, keep this information in mind.
Different Tastes
It’s not unusual to hear music in a hospital, but the issue of whether or not everyone likes it arises. Coworkers or patients may be displeased with your efforts, so it’s important to keep in mind that you can’t please everyone.
Different Tastes
Inquiring minds want to know how hospitals decide what music to play in their halls and rooms. It could also be a matter of the person who works in the room.
Playing the Part
Dentists are among the most despised members of the medical community. It’s not their fault; no one enjoys the procedures they must perform on your teeth. As a result, dentists should do everything in their power to improve their public image.
Playing The Part
The tooth fairy is a good way to accomplish this. If you’re talking about kids, it could go a long way in helping them sleep better. It’s also pretty funny, which is always a plus.
Delusions of Grandeur
It’s true that the placebo effect is real, but how much credence can you give to someone who claims that a placebo is working if the patient is delusional? Isn’t it true that they’re delusional? This joke serves to bring that to light.
Delusions Of Grandeur
It’s possible that it’s actually working. You can’t tell for sure if that’s the case because of what you’re dealing with.. Any way you look at it, it’s kind of funny.
Push, Push!
When you’re in the maternity ward, you’re probably working hard and not getting many laughs, at least not until a baby is actually born. Perhaps a few smiles have appeared now.
Push, Push!
That means making your own fun is necessary at least once or twice a week. Fortunately, if you’re a little creative and clever, you won’t have too much trouble. Whether or not expecting mothers would find the humor amusing is an open question.
One to Floss Them All
In the medical profession, dentists aren’t a popular bunch, as we noted earlier. For this reason, they must portray themselves as amusing individuals. You might be surprised to learn, however, that most dentists are actually quite friendly and funny.
One To Floss Them All
Posters like this are a perfect example of what we’re getting at. It’s amusing and a good way for dentists to connect with their patients and demonstrate that they’re just like them in terms of interests and hobbies.
With a View
Being able to see the big picture is nice, but there are times when you don’t need one. The gynecologist, for example. We’re going to assume that the doctor is playing a joke on us and that the curtains will be drawn once things get serious.
With A View
Nevertheless, we are able to imagine the fleeting feelings of unease and disbelief that would have been prompted by the sight of this room. It’s hard to imagine a scenario in which a woman wouldn’t be turned off by something like this.
Don’t Let Your Memes Be Dreams
A lot of older people don’t understand memes or their value. You wouldn’t expect a doctor to use them, either. Some doctors, on the other hand, are up-to-date with the latest trends and are well-versed in the meme culture.
Don’t Let Your Memes Be Dreams
As far as we’re concerned, we’d put our trust in a doctor who knows how to make a joke out of something serious. In some way, yes. A little bit of distrust would remain on principle.
Passive Aggressive Care
For one thing, doctors hear a lot of ridiculous things in their line of work because they have degrees, whereas the majority of the population does not. Things like this are also likely to happen to them because they’re fed up.
Passive Aggressive Care
No, he doesn’t appear to be in a bad mood. Why? Because we can see him becoming increasingly impatient. But we can’t speak on his behalf or anything like that.
A Good Argument
There are times in life when a person may need a prosthetic limb. When you’re forced to go in and get one, it’s pretty depressing. Those who try to ease the pain of the procedure should be applauded.
A Good Argument
You can never have too many doctors who understand that laughter can help you get through difficult situations. Having a sense of humor is essential in any medical field, and this is why.
The Spooky Treatment
In the event of an emergency, a hospital must remain open even on a holiday. There are many medical professionals who choose to celebrate holidays in other ways. That’s why, on Halloween, you might run into the Joker at the hospital.
The Spooky Treatment
Unexpected, to be sure, but very much appreciated all the same. After all, the Joker most likely has some prior experience working in medical facilities, right? At the very least, it does in the version starring Heath Ledger.
Obvious Symbolism
The type of clinic is immediately apparent just by taking a look at this picture. Even so, we’re not going to complain. It’s a clever piece of decoration, and most people are likely to laugh when they see it in action.
Obvious Symbolism
Even so, we have no idea how strange it was to ask someone to do this. Like, “Hey, could you paint this countertop to look like a sperm cell??” Thanks a lot.’
Stool Samples
A doctor’s love for puns is well documented. We have to give them credit for this one because it’s a little bit of a standout. Is there a way to obtain a stool sample? To be fair, the amount of work that went into this pun is hilarious in and of itself.
Stool Samples
For his patients and himself, he had to go out and buy a little stool from a dollhouse or something, just to put in a jar. That’s a lot of effort put into a little thing. Regardless of how amusing it may be, it’s still a bit.
Too Close to Home
Many people aspire to be physically slim. We tell ourselves all the time that we’ll do anything to get there. As it turns out, that’s not entirely accurate. Whether we believe it or not, this doctor knows it.
Too Close To Home
So what? We like to eat good food, and exercise isn’t exactly fun. There is no one who can truly blame us. We don’t believe they could, at least not on a level playing field. This is just a joke that every doctor tells at least once a week, so why bother?
Small Mercies
When it comes to colonoscopy, no one enjoys looking at it. It’s a harrowing experience for a patient to undergo such an invasive procedure. A good joke, on the other hand, can go a long way toward making a patient feel better about their current situation.
Small Mercies
But it’s better to have some than none at all. Even a sliver of solace can go a long way in situations like these, which affect a large number of people.
Transitional Skills
It is possible to use some skills only in certain situations, while others can be used in a variety of settings. The odd thing about nursing is that there are some skills that actually have a use. Is gardening still a part of your life? It’s hard to believe.
Transitional Skills
However, it’s amusing to see all of those plants with their own little drips. Some people need both a healing hand and the ability to grow plants while they are in critical condition! They’re extremely fortunate to have such a wide range of abilities in one person.
Back to the Dentist
You get the idea now, don’t you, about how hard dentists work to be approachable and non-judgemental? Honestly, if these jokes are any indication, they are well aware of their place in the world. That they go so far is impressive.
Back To The Dentist
So why not? If you’re forced to choose between two men, which one would you rather have: the nice guy or the scary guy? The kind one, to be exact. At the very least, we hope so.
The Joys of Reading
There are televisions in many clinics and doctor’s offices to keep you occupied while you wait or while you are being treated. Some offices have televisions, but they don’t appear to be used. Maybe it’s a malfunction. We can’t be certain.
The Joys Of Reading
This office should at the very least have a few magazines or other reading material. As a matter of fact, how many people actually bring a book to the doctor’s appointment? However, we believe they are the exception rather than the rule.
Thinly Veiled Double Meanings
There’s a symbiotic relationship between dentists and jokes. If at all possible, we believe they are contractually obligated to use these devices. It doesn’t matter, though, because this is actually quite good, so we won’t complain.
Thinly Veiled Double Meanings
Do dentists spend their days thinking up jokes to tell their patients? Or are they simply struck by inspiration as they go about their day-to-day activities? Who knows for sure?
Is This Offensive?
Is a colonoscopy really necessary? To be sure, there are a slew of reliable methods to ascertain this, but you could also simply reflect on the styles you recall. In this doctor’s opinion, it’s reasonable to do so.
Is This Offensive?
Everyone knows this isn’t meant to offend anyone. Nothing can stop us from getting older; there is no escaping it. It’s better to make light of the situation rather than get upset about it.
The Best What Now?
This time, we have a dentist with a sense of humor. However, at least this time it’s not a pun: the double-entendre is better. It’s easy to be amusing when you’re an evil character like a dentist.
The Best What Now?
No one wants to be the guy who digs around in other people’s mouths as a kid, do they? Only one person should you keep an eye on, and it’s that person.
All in One
Being tech-savvy means that your family assumes you know how to do everything on a computer. In some ways, it’s like that for a medical professional. Every doctor, regardless of specialty, is assumed to know it all.
All In One
Perhaps such a doctor should be flattered, but we suspect he or she is just as frustrated and irritated as any parent who behaves in this manner in any situation.
The Medical Alphabet
They have terrible penmanship, and we’ve all heard it before. Doctors, on the other hand, are fully aware of the situation. They are happy to make fun of themselves in this way, as evidenced by the poster displayed in a hospital waiting room.
The Medical Alphabet
‘Squiglish’ will be the name of the doctor’s language from now on. The medical alphabet consists solely of squiggle-based letters, and this isn’t surprising given the nature of the field. There must be a better explanation for the fact that this is the case for all doctors.
Proper Punctuation, Folks
At all times, punctuation is critical, but especially when you’re trying to explain your problem to a doctor. If you don’t punctuate your sentences correctly, there may be some… ambiguity. There is, of course, the possibility that the confusion may be amusing.
Proper Punctuation, Folks
If this is common, and always so funny, we have to wonder. In either case, doctors are likely to have a good time with this, and may even share it with their coworkers.
Do You Like My Moustache?
In general, military hospitals differ from regular hospitals in some ways, but there are still some similarities. Among other things, they compete with each other on a regular basis. Apparently, these doctors were vying for the best moustache.
Do You Like My Moustache?
There was no better way to get a handle on this than to ask the general public, so they included the question in their little surveys. Office pranks of this caliber are difficult to detect.
Professional Hazards
There was no better way to get a handle on this than to ask the general public, so they included the question in their little surveys. Office pranks of this caliber are difficult to detect.
Professional Hazards
If they really mean “in their pants,” we’d be shocked. If they really mean “in their crotch,” however, that would not surprise us at all. Honestly, it doesn’t seem all that far-fetched.
Shouldn’t Have To
When it comes to common sense, not eating poop is one of the most obvious. Eating feces is bad for your health, and you shouldn’t have to tell people about it! And yet, this is exactly what some doctors are required to do.
Shouldn’t Have To
Imagine how many doctors are forced to refrain from calling their patients stupid because they don’t know how else to phrase it. How could you believe the person you were speaking to was sane after hearing that? It’s hidden from our view.
As Seen on TV
Medical professionals are viewed favorably by the general public because of their professionalism. They are, after all, only human, and when they need to let off steam, they do so in an uncharacteristically inappropriate manner.
As Seen On TV
Personnel in the emergency room face similar challenges. As long as there’s no one around to interrupt them, we hope they’ll keep their antics under control while working with a patient.
The All in One FAQ
Doctors get a lot of questions, so it’s understandable that they’d want to make their lives a little easier by compiling a list of frequently asked questions. All of the answers to this FAQ are snarky jokes, though.
The All In One FAQ
Even though they’re comical, we suspect that the husbands will get a kick out of them more than the wives will. Perhaps because it plays into some well-known social norms.
The Night Watch
A lot of medical professionals have to deal with the night shift on a regular basis, and it’s always a pain. Many of them rely on coffee to stay awake at all times. Naturally, the coffee isn’t administered intravenously.
The Night Watch
This is a joke that many doctors and nurses will relate to on a personal level, so it’s worth a laugh just the same. All of this had to have given the nurses a good chuckle, right?
