Your funny/strange hospital experiences.

[Lullabelle]

My grandmother was in hospital, out for the count. My mum and I were with her when one of the lovely volunteer ladies walked over with the tea tray and asked in a pure Mrs Doyle (from Father Ted) accent asked: would Mrs ******* like a cup of tea? my mum glared at me which made things worse-I had to bite down so hard on my bottom lip, mum replied to lady and she walked away, I looked at mum and her shoulders were shaking just couldn't hold it in any longer and we were both laughing like crazy.

My late best mate had that problem and had to have an annual 'scoping for Barrett's oesophagus. He was cockily confident going for the first examination and opted not to be knocked out. Having not enjoyed the clinical 'sword-swallowing' one little bit, he realised [*** Pun alert ***] that he didn't have the stomach for it and was put under for it in subsequent years!

Had one.....for similar reasons. The nurse said "no point being injected as it does nothing". I said "right, just do it".
Worst experience ever. I just knew I was dying..... awful experience.

Approx 5 years ago after finding I had bladder cancer I had to have my first camera up the John Thomas.
The specialist (lovely guy) was German with a humour to match.
So I am lying there with my bits on show (3 female nurses)......feeling very nervous.....and he grabs my Johnson and says "I am going to give it a wash".
So I said "no need to do that....I washed it 3 weeks ago".
For some reason he wasnt amused.

Not quite the same, but if you've ever watched Scrubs,
We definitely have a Perry Cox, not so much M.D, as DWA (Doctor with Attitude)

Several Carlas, again in attitude/knowledge, & a couple of Eliotts

Oh!!, & Hospital Legal Eagle, is nothing like Ted!
Sadly, we also have a lot of Todds

When my retired nurse friend came to visit, the tea lady inquired, 'Would your mum like a cuppa?'.
My friend is only 14 years older. Her daughter thought it was funny. I now refer to her as my second mum.

I woke up from an appendix op, to find they had shaved (ONLY) my left thigh

I woke up from a leg op to find the TV on the ward showing Telletubbies (which I had never seen before) and I thought I was tripping

I woke up from another leg op, to see a priest standing over me with a bible in his hand. It turned out it was my old school mate Colin, who recognised me and thought it would be funny to do so. Who says men of the cloth have no sense of humour?
