Jokes in English – Hospital settings!




In one hospital, the doctor was exhausted after much work. So, he went home to get some rest. He asked the staff on duty to call him if something comes up. Shortly after, his phone rings:
Doctor: Hello.
Staff: Hello, doctor, there's an unconscious patient you need to see. The patient also has abdominal pain.
Doctor: How did you know he has abdominal pain?
Staff: The patient told me.
 
In another hospital, a doctor was consulting in his clinic. A man walked in. The doctor asked him what the problem was. The man replied: ‘Severe abdominal pain.’
Doctor: OK, lie down on the bed, let me examine you.
The man lied down on the examining couch.
Doctor: Use your finger to point where you are having the pain.
Man: Doctor, I’m not the one who is sick. It’s my child who is sick.
Doctor: Where is your child?
Man: He is outside with the mother.
 
In yet another hospital, the doctor does not understand the local language. So, he makes use of an interpreter. After seeing one patient, the doctor wrote some drugs for the patient, some of which were oral syrups. He asked the interpreter to tell the patient to shake the syrups very well before each use (the drug is to be taken thrice a day). To his surprise, he saw the interpreter and the patient vigorously shaking their bodies. He asked what the problem was.
Interpreter: I am demonstrating how he should shake his body. You said he should shake his body thrice a day before taking the drugs.
