Patients Say The Darndest Things

Everyone involved in healthcare knows that patients say the "darndest" things. It's just that in the midst of a hectic day it's sometimes hard to remember, or appreciate, many of the things that are said. A number of years ago this family physican started to keep a journal of some memorable humorous encounters with patients. He has shared most of them already with colleagues and his wife (while keeping the patients identity secret of course). He also found that many "non-medical" folks often got a kick out of hearing some of the stories. He decided to go ahead and put a number of them together in this collection.

For many there is a common theme (sexual function). At times the language used is "R" rated but the quotes are accurate. Hopefully no one will be offended.
