Doctor-patient confidentiality

These are two real-life gems as told to me by some of my friends who are doctors…

1)A concerned parent brings in a child who’s skin has worryingly turned orange.

“Has he been eating a lot of carrots?”
“Ooh, no, he can’t stand them.”
(after a pause)
“Does he drink Sunny Delight?”
“Oooh, yes, he loves it! Can’t get enough of it.”

2) A young lady comes in. Despite being on the pill, she’s pregnant. Then she explains that she’s been inserting the pills because she didn’t know what “ORAL CONTRACEPTIVE” meant!

  1. Putting that on two blogs is cheating, sarcasmo.
