Thread: Funny and True Medical stories

On a slightly different tack - I have a friend in Victoria who I have known for about 30 years - he is a gynaecologist (think I've spelt it right). He's a great bloke - loves camping, going bush with his friends and family, and really hates a beer or three.

Anyhow, if you meet him and ask him what he does for a living, he'll reply "I'm a crack mechanic".

Sorry to anyone who might be offended by the terminology.

True Story. I went out of town visiting a mate of mine, his old man's a pilot for the RFDS and told me this true story.

Late at night they get a call out for "chest pains". They fly for an hour, turn up, and there is this bloke in his house sitting forward on a couch.
"Can you tell me what happened?"
"Nah, Dunno."
"Umm, okay, ah where does it hurt?"
"In my chest"
"Okay, what sort of pain is it?"
"Yeah it hurts".
"Okay, could you just slump back on the couch and I'll have a look at you."
The bloke tries to lean back but cries out in agony.
"Okay okay, so it hurts when you do that..."
The doc checks blood pressure- its fine, he checks heart rate- a bit high but that's normal, pulse is normal. The doc proceeds to move behind the patient, looks at his back and sees a 30cm kitchen knife sticking out of the middle of the bloke's back.

True story.
