Monoku Series: General Hospital

i had a brain mri last month
    as expected, they found nothing

i asked could i do my own anesthetic
    doc said, "knock yourself out"

last week i went to urgent care   
    it felt neither urgent nor caring

they had a specialist:
    her specialty is diseases of the rich

she longs to open up her own clinic
   but doesn't have the patients 

my doc's advice: if you're skinny, don't eat fast
   if you're not, don't eat... fast!

isn't it a bit unnerving that doctors call what they do, 
   "practice"?

overseen on a patient's chart:
no fever or chills    but spouse claims she
    was very hot in bed last night

I enjoyed the sharing of this humor. I needed a few chuckles today. Thanks for your visit to my blog. Our son still has some paralysis, numbness, and somewhat depressed as I probably would be in his condition. Sara

A great laugh to end off my Sunday dear friend - HUMOR - how much we need to laugh in life. I read an article that someone who was diagnosed with cancer went out every day to buy a bunch of funny movies, before Netflix and Show max days, and laughed his cancer away, true or false he was brave enough to face doing this. However, my favorite is......They had a specialist, her speciality is diseases of the rich. Hope you are well my friend, Hugs and blessings Jennifer

As they say, laughter is the best medicine. I love the movie rental idea. You, my friend, have brought much humour to this site - we should call you Dr. Jenn. (Reminds me of your fun poem, God's Waiting Room). Have a great week! Blessings and hugs ~ John

And now to your humor, I think the first and last ones tickled my funny bone the most :)

Thanks for letting me know, Michelle. I've certainly had my share of doctor and hospital visits that were anything but funny, but sometimes you just have to look for the humor in it all.
