Medical Musings

This is inspired by a post on the blog "Not So Spiritual Words."  I cannot take credit for the original humor, but I couldn't resist borrowing the idea for a Coptic Rx post...who can deny that med school needs a little humor now and again?

You know your med school professor is a ___________ because ____________:

Psychiatrist: right before he walks into the auditorium, you sense a disturbance in the Force

Pediatrician: her stethoscope is pink and dinosaur band-aids are falling out of her scrubs pocket

Emergency Med doc: he delivers a 140-slide powerpoint lecture in 13 minutes flat

Dermatologist: upon entering the lecture hall, you think for a second you accidentally walked into the lobby of the Ritz 

Ophthalmologist: upon entering the lecture hall, all the nerds have assembled to the front  

Pathologist: his lectures run overtime by 30 minutes and could have been summed up with one slide: "this stuff's not supposed to be there"

Surgeon: he succeeds in making everyone who attended lecture feel like an idiot by the time lecture's over  

Anesthesiologist: he succeeds in making everyone fall asleep by the end of lecture...and you seem to have gaps in your memory when you wake up

Radiologist: his first words upon entering the brightly-lit auditorium are "Oh my God, this is blinding me."

Neurologist: somehow, a discussion of where the lesion is turns into a riveting argument about the meaning of life
