Hi All
I thought it might be fun to tell your funniest doctor story--
I will start off and I swear the story is 95 percent true--
About 5 years after I got sick- I went to see a stomic doctor--
I had no idea what was wrong with me but I was perty sure I had candida for starters--
I was laying on exam table 30 min. naked except for one of those paper exam robs--Very cold-
The doctor was a Germen dude- about 50 or 60 --tall and skinny with thin white hair-- He walked very fast-
He was wearing a white lab coat and looked like the- Fearless Leader- on the Bull Winkle cartoon--
When the doc came into the room he walked quickly to his desk sat down and started looking at forms I had filled out-- He said nothing to me--
After a minute or so I asked if he was the doctor? He answered with supreme athority that he was--
He then put a monical in his right eye glanced at me once and continued to look at the forms and mumble to himself-
I had brought a very complete list of my symptoms with me-
(full page-turns out it was a very complete list of Lyme- babs symptoms)--
I got up off the exam table and walked over to the doc and handed him my list of symptoms--
He looked somewhat supprised that I had approched him and had handed him this list--
He examined the list for a few seconds and started putting big check marks beside each symptom and said nuro doctor for this--Bone doctor for that ect.
Well- I then told the doc that I thought I had Candida--
He looked up from the paper-- Blood vains in his bald head started to pulse and grow-- His face turned red quickly--
He then Shot out of his chair to his feet-- Kind of starlted me so I jumped back--
Then All of a sudden he started Jumping up and down Yelling-- There is no such thing as Candida--- Over and Over--
Well I not one to pass up a Good Jumping Up and Down session --so I Joined In--
We were both getting some pert good air-and was kind of fun-
He just keep jumping and yelling There is no such thing as Candida- He had a crazed look on his face-
Then all of a sudden he stopped jumping and his face turned bright red--
Then with a pop- the monical he had in his right eye- shot out and bounced off the wall 3 feet away and fell to the floor shattered in peices--
I could see this was going -No Where- so I grabed all my forms and put them in the trash-- Then I grabed my cloths and hopped out of the room- Leaving the doc still hopping and yelling--
Im sure patients and nurses could hear all this going on-- Was perty loud-
I asked receptionest if doc was like this all the time--
She did not say a word but the look she gave me I feel this was common--
I hopped out to parking lot of the hosipital and put on my cloths--
Total time seeing ducktor- Maybe 4 minutes--Cost-$175
Ok-Ok I did not hop to parking lot -I walked--Jay--

This one may give you all a little chuckle.
As a lot of you know, Bicillin IM is injected in the upper outer quadrant of the buttocks.
My dear mother agreed to be my injector.
She diligently read the dr.'s printed instructions prior to attending the injection lesson. They stated the site should be 5-7 inches over from the crack.
Fast forward to me face down on the exam table, half my heiney exposed, with my mother and LLMD looking on. They were discussing the procedure...."crack, crack, crack, crack" was all I heard.
My thought bubble said "I wish they'd stop saying 'crack'....".
Then I hear my mother say..."she's going to be mad but I am going to do this anyway..."
So she pulls out a mini measuring tape she had hidden in her pocket and proceeded to measure precisely 5-7 inches from the 'CRACK'.
This of course, does not bother me in the least. As I will do almost anything to be well again. Posts: 116 | From Pennsylvania | Registered: Mar 2005

Heeheehee, you guys made me laugh. Thank you! I don't know if this one's funny but I got a kick out of it.
I had gone for a routine check with my then LLMD (my absolute fave by a long shot).
While examining me he looked at my throat and mouth and said: "Is your mouth very dry? It's seems to be foaming."
My reply: "Yes, I had tuna fish for lunch."
Him: Does that make your mouth dry?
Me: Yes, it always does.
Him: Hmmm... I LOVE Tuna fish!!!!!
I smiled all the way home.
