Medical Bill Call
Many patients call the pathology group where I am office manager to discuss their medical bills. One irate woman demanded that I describe every laboratory test on her statement.
Reluctantly, I complied. Starting with the first test on her bill, I read, “No. 1, urinalysis.”
She interrupted me at once. “I’m a what?”

Children Shopping
My first grade daughter and her friend both needed new boots as winter approached. The friend got in the car one morning and finally had gotten her boots.
“Beth,” I commented, “I see you got new boots. Where did you get them?”
“At the store,” she answered.
“Which one?” I asked.
She began looking at her new boots and after a pause said, “Both of them.”

Doctor Scream
While sitting on the train one day, the man next to me started screaming, “Call me a doctor! Call me a doctor!”
I asked, “Are you sick?”
“No,” he replied, “I just graduated from medical school.”

Driving experience
A motorist was on trial for striking a pedestrian.
The motorist’s lawyer made this point: “Your honor, my client has been driving for over thirty years.”
To which the lawyer for the plaintiff retorted:Â “Your honor, if we are going to judge this case by experience, may I remind you that my client has been walking for over 55 years!”
