Talking to a patient who was particularly hard of hearing today for almost 12 hours has not been good for my voice. However, it was all worth it just for this conversation:
Patient: What pill is this?
Me: This is your Losec.
Patient: Low sex? I’m already old and feeble! Why the hell would I need a pill for that?
Me:* LO-SEC! NOT Low sex! This is for your heartburn!
Patient: Good! I don’t need a pill for low sex!
Good times! I could never have a conversation like this in the corporate world.

LMAO...
That is just too freaking funny!!!!
Sometimes it is so hard to keep a straight face in front of the patients!!! I would have had to walk out for a minute just to gain my composure!
My Russian colleague once told a patient she was there to take his pulse and he says "My balls? What the hell do you need to see those for?"
That's great.
Keeping a straight face is often the hardest part of this job.
