OT - medical story

Apr 11, 2012 2 Replies

A woman went to the doctor's office where she was seen by one of the younger doctors. After about four minutes in the examination room, she burst out screaming as she ran down the hall. An older doctor stopped her and asked what the problem was, and she told him her story. After listening, he had her sit down and relax in another room. The older doctor marched down the hallway back to where the young doctor was writing on his clipboard. "What's the matter with you?" the older doctor demanded, "Mrs. Terry is



71 years old, has four grown children and seven grandchildren, and you told her she was pregnant?" The younger doctor continued writing and without looking up said "Does she still have the hiccups?"

LOL! I used this tactic on a former student worker. He'd had the hiccups for a couple of hours. I called him over to my desk and said, "Jeff, you're fired."

He looked at me with this shocked, sad look and said, "What?"

I said, "You're fired."

"Why?"

By that time his hiccups had stopped! I said, "Not really, but it took care of your hiccups, didn't it?"

Yeah, I know, I'm evil. :)

Yup - that would do it!

Good one, Bruce...
