Medical School Reunion Jokes

We often think of doctors as being grim and serious -- maybe because we only see them when we're feeling our worst. The truth is, doctors have a sense of humor like anyone else and when they get together, especially for times such as a medical school class reunion, the jokes fly fast and furious.

Keeping the Idiots Out

• A strict teacher -- keeping idiots out of med school?

  A college physics professor was explaining a particularly complicated concept to his class when a student interrupted him.

  "Why do I have to learn this stuff?" one young man blurted out. "I'm pre-med!"

  "To save lives," the professor responded before continuing the lecture.

  A few minutes later the student spoke up again. "So how does physics save lives?"

  The professor stared at the student for a moment, then continued. "Physics saves lives," he said, "because failing it keeps the idiots out of medical school."

Whose Drinking?

• It's due to drinking!

  As the doctor completed an examination of the patient, he said, "I can't find a cause for your complaint. Frankly, I think it's due to drinking."

  "In that case," said the patient, "I'll come back when you're sober."

Oldie but Goodie

• "Now, where did that temperature go...?"

  Doctor: "Did you take the patient's temperature?"

  Nurse: "No. Is it missing?"

Having Babies

• Twins, triplets...septuplets?

  I was sitting in the waiting room of the hospital after my wife had gone into labor. The nurse walked out and said to the man sitting to my right, "Congratulations sir, you're the new father of twins!"

  The man replied, "How about that! I work for the Doublemint Chewing Gum Company!" The man then followed the woman to his wife's room.

  Fifteen minutes later, the same nurse entered the waiting room and announced to the man sitting to my left, "Congratulations! Your wife just had triplets!" The man looked at me and beamed. "Well, how do ya like that! I work for the 3M Company!" The man then followed her into the ward.

  The gentleman sitting across me then grabbed his coat, got up and hurried to leave. When I asked him where he was going, he remarked, "I think I need a breath of fresh air." Then he took a deep breath. "I work for 7-UP."

The Classic

• "You can call me Doctor."

  Question: "What do you call the med student who graduates last in his class?"

  Answer: "Doctor."

Doctors and Humor

• Get a laugh from your doctor!

  Those are just a few of the fun and silly jokes doctors might share with each other at a medical school reunion. Though we don't always think about it, doctors have to keep a good sense of humor in order to deal with the sometimes difficult realities of medical life. The next time you talk to your doctor, tell her one of these jokes. See if you can get a laugh!
