Medical Mishap

"Medical Mishap"

When I was a medical student my 'Firm' was
about to start our psychiatry rotation. On the first
day we turned up on the Psychiatric ward a bit
worried about how we may find it, having heard
rumors as you do.

We were quite relieved when the Registrar,
Dr. Smith, introduced himself and took us into
the teaching room to tell us about all the patients
on the ward; he did a good job.

Unfortunately our fears returned after 1/2 hour
when the proper registrar arrived and introduced
us to *Dr. Smith* who was, in fact, one of the patients himself....

"The Vision Test"

Kramer goes to an optometrist and he's lead
into a room where the doctor pulls down a small
screen with letters.

"Read me the bottom line, Mr. Kramer."

"Sorry, Doc, I can't."

"Okay, how about the line above that?"

"Nope."

"... the next one up?"

"Nope."

This goes on for half an hour with the optometrist
pulling down progressively larger and larger eye
charts with ever bigger letters.

Finally, the doctor says, 'Well, I've never had to use
it before, but see if you can read this."

With that, he pulled a lever, the wall collapsed and
a giant 50 foot flaming orange 'A" rose up out of the ground.

"Now surely you can read THAT!" snarled the frustrated optometrist.

"Sorry, Doc, but I can't."

"Then, man, you must be blind!"

"Oh no, Doc, my eyesight's fine. I just never learned how to read!
