Oh? Okay, you think that cheating is funny. I think that medical humor is funny.


One day while I was in a dialysis clinic one of the more malcontent patients began her daily barf. She would do this every day because she insisted on eating close to the time of the procedure, against medical advice. Once they gave her hypertonic saline whatever she ate would come right back up.

That evening I'd bought a large can of Progresso Lentil soup. While I was eating it our star patient decided to have an "episode".


I was sharing the break room with two other colleagues - an RN who thrilled herself with gross things, and a good friend of hers who was a tech.

The nurse said to me , "Hey, is D upchucking?"

Her leer told me t hat she hoped to spoil my appetite. Nothing doing! I was raised with medical people and was renowned for my morbid sense of humor.

I peaked around the corner, looking onto the floor of the clinic. Sure enough D was filling an emesis basin while vomiting lustily, groaning between voidings that we were "killing her, goddammit!".

"Yeah", I said. As I watched her the nurse in question started to grin at me. I looked more intently and said, "Cool! It looks just like this soup... except it has small marshmallows in it".

She and the tech vacated the room with pale faces. I laughed uproarously and then finished my supper.

Humor means different things to different people. IF you'd like some more funny medical stories, just ask. I got a ton of them.
