40+ Stories That Prove That The Medical Field Can Be Entertaining At Times

There is no doubt that the medical field is one of the most serious fields available. After all, it is literally people’s lives on the line! They spent years, if not decades, honing their skills and expanding their knowledge of the human body. They aren’t without a sense of humor, despite their serious demeanor! Indeed, we’d venture to say that one of the most important aspects of their work is their sense of humor! It’s difficult to maintain a positive attitude in a field where people’s lives are literally on the line, which is why many doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals have developed strategies to maintain their spirits. Here are a few of the funniest medical stories you’ll ever hear!

X-Ray Laugh

X-Ray Laugh

X-rays are used to reveal a person’s internal parts, but they can also reveal a variety of other things, including non-biological items. Consider the following picture. Imagine the X-ray operator’s reaction after seeing this scan! It’s likely that it made the doctor, any other nurses present, and the patient all laugh out loud. We can’t help but wonder how common these kinds of incidents are. We’d probably laugh as well if we saw cute ribbons on an x-ray scan.

Being Proud Of Your Field

As a nurse, you are frequently exposed to needles and syringes. Most patients despise those two items, but if you know how to make them more appealing, you can make them work for you. These Jell-O syringe shots are incredible if we do say so ourselves.

Being Proud Of Your Field

Being Proud Of Your Field

You could serve syringe Jell-O shots to everyone at a party, for example. It’s the shortest way of saying, “See, nurses can be cool too!  We know how to have a good time!” That is, of course, the goal of this list.

Medical Caps

You’d think that only doctors and nurses know how to have a good time, but even hospital administrators can crack a good laugh now and then. Take these medical caps, for example. They know how to have a good time!

Medical Caps

We don’t understand why the decision-makers thought this was a good idea. They don’t appear to be particularly competent. Given the intimidating nature of the medical field, it may be advantageous for specialists to appear more approachable.

The Only One

You may only have access to a local doctor in countries without a well-established medical system. In some cases, they may even have a degree and know exactly what they’re doing. They do it sometimes and don’t do it other times.

The Only One

The Only One

What happens when the village doctor becomes ill? They don’t have much of a choice in terms of doctors because they are the only ones. Nevertheless, you should question your doctor’s credentials if he or she refuses to see a doctor.

Medical Buddies

If you and your friends work in medicine, you might find yourselves in unusual situations. Or, maybe your roommates are EMTs and you aren’t. Isn’t it strange to summon an ambulance and your friends at the same time?

Medical Buddies

Medical Buddies

Of course, you shouldn’t put your faith in your friends’ professionalism because friendship can thwart good intentions. But, hey, they’re still EMTs, right? Whether or not you trust your friends, you can rest assured that they will do everything they can to help you.

Who’s Studying Who?

Understanding how the human mind works is a difficult subject to research. You’ll have a better understanding of your own thinking if you know those things. This gives you a better understanding of yourself, though you may not always like what you learn.

Who’s Studying Who?

Who’s Studying Who?

As a result, someone who studies the human mind is cracking a joke right now. We haven’t seen what they have, but we understand their point of view. We understand why psychiatry’s learning process is a little strange.

Prepping For Night Shift

We’ve already joked about the night shift, but you didn’t think there would be just one, did you? After all, you’d think there’d be more than joking around given how much the night shift is a source of misery for so many people.

Prepping For Night Shift

Prepping For Night Shift

Nonetheless, due to the sharp ends and other factors, we do not recommend using toothpicks in this manner. Maybe you could just rely on coffee, which does the job a little better while causing no harm to your body.

A Bit Creepy, But Okay

Did you know that if you’re injured, an EMT may have to remove your clothing? They can’t do it because they can’t risk moving your body around to take your clothing off normally if you have inside injuries.

A Bit Creepy, But Okay

A Bit Creepy, But Okay

As a result, if you’re shy, keep this in mind when driving. Strangers will see you naked if you are in an accident and need EMT assistance. Isn’t it a little unsettling, even if they’re professionals? People, always remember to drive safely!

We’re All In This Together

Nurses have a lot on their plate. Despite the fact that they work as a team, one of them is frequently blamed. Nurses who are familiar with this situation react with a thinly veiled sense of humor. We can tell it’s a little bitter.

We’re All In This Together

We’re All In This Together

Maybe a tiny bit of bitterness. Even so, it’s difficult to blame anyone for being irritated by this situation. It’s never fun to accept full responsibility for everyone else’s flaws and mistakes.

A Bit Too Much

Medical personnel are frequently asked to perform unusual tasks. And most of the time, all they can do is laugh it off. Putting oneself in the path of a hurricane, on the other hand, is a little excessive. Seriously, kudos to them for being able to work in such a challenging environment!

A Bit Too Much

A Bit Too Much

But, hey, if you’re short on cash and have a job, you may as well do what you have to. At times, the world works in mysterious ways. Even so, you couldn’t pay us enough to get that done! Everyone, stay safe at work!

A Bit Unnerving

We don’t speak what appears to be a Cyrillic language, and these medical personnel are not American. However, we notice a small warning sign on the box, which is both amusing and alarming. We’d be a little intimidated if we saw that box in person.

A Bit Unnerving

A Bit Unnerving

Is their country overrun with chainsaw maniacs? Or are they just making a joke about one of their medical equipment’s most bizarre applications? Again, seeing this sign would make anyone laugh, even if they were nervous!

A Busy Day

If you’re a medical professional, ambulances are one vehicle you don’t want to see too often on your way to work. After all, the more sights you see, the busier your day is likely to be.

A Busy Day

A Busy Day

Of course, such professionals are more concerned with people’s safety, but we can imagine their frustrated sighs and eye rolls as they drive by three or four ambulances on their way to work. It appears to be a bother to us.

Keeping Quiet

A medical practitioner should try to be as quiet as possible while a patient is sleeping to allow them to relax. Unfortunately, this may be a problem if your shoes are too squeaky. There’s nothing left to do but laugh it off!

Keeping Quiet

Keeping Quiet

Also, we’re a little embarrassed about it. Sorry, sleeping patients: the nurses will not wake you up in the middle of the night! There isn’t much they can do about it.

Making Do

Hair ties are inexpensive, but they aren’t always readily available. This nurse didn’t have this necessary tool, so she made do with something else that every nurse carries around with her: gloves. That, in our opinion, is a fantastic alternative!

Making Do

Making Do

Although we doubt it will ever become fashionable, we think it did a pretty good job for a latex glove, don’t you think? More medical experts may begin to do so if they have no other option.

The Hot Co-Worker

Because most medical professionals work in a mixed environment, romantic relationships are common. It’s not always about relationships; sometimes it’s just about having beautiful people to look at while going about your business.

The Hot Co-Worker

The Hot Co-Worker

It’s understandable that some nurses would be upset if their attractive coworker left. While working a difficult job, having eye candy is a great way to relieve stress and frustration! We hope those remarks didn’t make him uncomfortable.

Smart Dino

Waiting in the emergency room is never fun, even if you have a valid reason to be there. Even so, having to wait is a good thing because it means you’re not going to die. Those who are hurried are those who are in trouble.

Smart Dino

Smart Dino

And, hey, all the better if the message is delivered by a cute little dinosaur. Keep that in mind if you ever find yourself in the emergency room. Someone should get a raise for putting this cute dinosaur with this small message!

Music Tastes

Although music in a hospital is not uncommon, there is the question of whether or not everyone enjoys the music being played. You can’t please everyone, which can lead to dissatisfaction among coworkers or patients.

Music Tastes

Music Tastes

We must inquire as to how hospitals choose the music played in their corridors and rooms. Is it up to the person working in the room to make the decision? We simply hope that if we are admitted to the hospital, the music played will be music that we enjoy.

Tooth Fairy

Dentists are probably the most reviled of all medical specialties. It’s not their fault; no one likes doing things to your teeth. As a result, dentists should strive to improve their public image in any way they can.

Tooth Fairy

Tooth Fairy

It’s a good idea to take on the role of the tooth fairy. It would, at the very least, go a long way toward making it easier for children to sleep. It’s also entertaining! We believe his patients laughed when they saw him dressed up like this!

Placebo

True, there is a placebo effect, but how much trust can you put in someone who claims a placebo is working when the problem being treated is delusions? After all, don’t they have hallucinations? This fact is highlighted by the humor.

Placebo

Placebo

But who knows, it could be working. The problem is that, because of the nature of the problem being addressed, you can’t truly say whether or not this is true. In any case, it’s entertaining.

Push!

Working in a maternity ward is likely a difficult job with few laughs, at least until the baby is delivered. There will almost certainly be some smiles after that. Take a look at this hilarious joke that was posted on the maternity ward’s door.

Push!

Push!

You must occasionally create your own amusement as a result of working in a stressful environment. Thankfully, it’s not that difficult if you’re a little creative and intelligent. The real question is whether or not expectant mothers will find the joke amusing.

One Floss To Rule Them All

Dentists aren’t exactly well-liked in the medical community, as previously stated. They must be amusing men and women in order to appear more approachable. Have you noticed that most dentists are actually quite pleasant and entertaining?

One Floss To Rule Them All

One Floss To Rule Them All

These are the types of posters we’re talking about. It’s amusing, and it gives dentists a chance to connect with some of the patients they see, as well as show that they, too, are regular people with interests.

An Unpleasant View

Let’s face it: having a view is nice, but there are times when you don’t want one. It’s like going to the gynecologist. We assume the doctor is joking and that if the situation becomes serious, the blinds will be drawn.

An Unpleasant View

An Unpleasant View

Even now, we can imagine the brief sense of unease and perplexity that greeted the sight of this chamber. What lady, after all, wouldn’t be turned off by something like this? After all, going to the gynecologist and being greeted with this would make you immediately regret your decision!

Memes In The Workplace

Most elderly people are unaware of memes or their potential value. They’re also not what you’d expect to see in a doctor’s office. Some doctors, on the other hand, are hip and happening, and they recognize the true value of memes.

Memes In The Workplace

Memes In The Workplace

We’re simply suggesting that a doctor who can create a clever meme is someone we’d trust. To a certain extent, yes. If our doctor has a sense of humor, we may be able to put our trust in them a lot more.

Fed Up

Given that doctors have degrees while the majority of the population does not, it’s understandable that they hear a lot of ridiculous things in their line of work. We’re guessing they’re pretty fed up with it, which is why things like this happen.

Fed Up

Fed Up

Do you think this doctor is irritated in any way? They appear irritated to us, to be honest. We don’t have any authority to speak on their behalf! However, the point remains the same: people, get your vaccines!

Prosthetics

Some people will, unfortunately, require a prosthetic at some point in their lives. That’s terrible, and the prospect of getting one is depressing. That is why a doctor who goes out of his way to make the procedure as painless as possible should be admired.

Prosthetics

Prosthetics

It’s always reassuring to have a doctor who understands that a good laugh can help you get through a tough situation. This is why a sense of humor is necessary in any medical field. This amazing doc is someone we’d love to be friends with!

Why So Serious?

In the event that someone is injured, hospitals must remain open even on holidays. As a result, many doctors choose to observe these holidays in other ways. As a result, the Joker might show up at a hospital on Halloween.

Why So Serious?

Why So Serious?

That was a pleasant surprise, to be honest. After all, doesn’t the Joker have some medical training? At the very least, Heath Ledger’s version does. However, if we were to visit a hospital, we would prefer not to see the Joker at all.

A Cheeky Design

Just by looking at it, you can tell what kind of clinic it is. Who are we to complain, though? It’s actually quite creative in terms of decoration, and most people will probably chuckle when they see it. Whoever created this was well aware that it would make people laugh!

A Cheeky Design

A Cheeky Design

Nonetheless, we can’t imagine how strange it must have felt to ask someone to do something like this. “Could you paint this countertop to look like a sperm cell?” We’re grateful they did this design because we wouldn’t be laughing about it right now if they hadn’t!

Literal Stool

Doctors have a reputation for making groan-inducing jokes. We have to give them credit for this one, though, because it’s hilarious. Is a stoma sample possible to collect? Moreover, the amount of thought that went into this joke makes it even funnier.

Literal Stool

Literal Stool

The person who did this had to go out and find a dollhouse stool or something to put in a jar for his patients and himself to laugh at. That’s a lot of time and effort put into a small project. It’s a humorous bit, but it’s still a bit.

Hits Too Close

Many people desire to be slim. We constantly tell ourselves that we would go to any length to obtain it. But, let’s face it, that isn’t entirely correct. It’s just a lie we tell ourselves, and this doctor knows it.

Hits Too Close

Hits Too Close

But, hey, it’s not easy to exercise, and we like to eat delicious food. Is there anyone who can hold us responsible for this? We don’t believe they could, at least not in the way we believe they could. It’s only a joke, after all, that every doctor knows and tells at least once a week.

It Makes It Bearable

Most people dread having a colonoscopy. It’s an extremely difficult and unpleasant procedure for the patient. A good laugh, on the other hand, can help a patient feel better about their situation.

It Makes It Bearable

It Makes It Bearable

So it’s not a lot, but it’s better than nothing, right? Even a small amount of relief can help in situations like these, which many people face. We’re glad this amusing image brought some comfort to some people.

Nurses And Gardening

Some skills are only useful in very specific situations, while others can be used in a wide range of fields. Surprisingly, there are some nursing skills that are extremely useful, such as gardening. Who’d have guessed it?

Nurses And Gardening

Furthermore, watching all of those plants with their own drips is amusing. Perhaps they’re in bad shape and need mending as well as a green thumb! They’re extremely fortunate to have such a wide range of skills.

A Hilarious Reference

Do you understand what we’re saying about dentists trying so hard to appear cool and personable at this point? If any of these jokes are to be believed, they are fully aware of their place in the world. It’s admirable of them to go to such lengths.

A Hilarious Reference

A Hilarious Reference

On the other hand, we assume they must: who would you prefer to have to stab your gums: a pleasant man or a terrifying one? The nice one, to be precise. We can only hope, at the very least.

TV Is Broken… We Think

While you wait or are being treated, many clinics and doctor’s offices have televisions to keep you entertained. Some offices have televisions, but they don’t appear to be used. Or maybe it’s just broken. We don’t have any way of knowing for certain.

TV Is Broken… We Think

TV Is Broken… We Think

In any case, we’re hoping for some magazines or something at this workplace. Who brings a book to a doctor’s appointment, on the other hand? We recognize that some people do, but we believe they are in the minority.

Hilarious Double Meanings

In one way or another, dentists and puns are linked. Seriously, we believe they are obligated to use them whenever possible under the terms of their contract. We don’t mind it because, despite being the lowest form of comedy, it’s actually quite amusing.

Hilarious Double Meanings

Hilarious Double Meanings

Do dentists spend their time in the office making up jokes? Or do they just get inspiration from time to time as they go about their business? Who knows for certain? Though we must admit, they are quite entertaining!

Is It Offensive?

How do you know if a colonoscopy is required? There are a few valid methods for determining this, but you could simply consider the types of clothes you recall. This doctor did exactly that, and he has a point.

Is It Offensive?

Is It Offensive?

Who could possibly be offended, right? It is impossible to avoid the fact that we will all grow old. We should laugh about it instead of being offended. We’re still stumped as to what made the doctor think this poster was a good idea.

Only The Best

As you might expect, we’ve got another witty dentist on our hands with the jokes. It’s a double-entendre this time, which is slightly better than a pun. We think it helps to be funny again when you’re a nasty person like a dentist.

Only The Best

Only The Best

Who wants to be the kid who rummages through other people’s mouths? You should keep a close eye on that one person. We have no idea what went through these people’s heads while creating these ads, just as we don’t know what went through their heads while creating the previous entries.

Jack Of All Trades

You know how your family thinks you know everything there is to know about computers because you’re tech-savvy? It’s comparable to training to be a doctor. It is commonly assumed that no matter what type of doctor you are, you are an expert on everything.

Jack Of All Trades

Jack Of All Trades

Maybe such a doctor should be flattered, but we imagine it’s just as unpleasant and aggravating in any setting when parents do the same thing. Remember that in medicine, there are different specialties for different areas!

Understanding A Doctor’s Writing

We’ve all seen how a doctor’s handwriting can be. Certainly, doctors are aware of the situation. As evidenced by this poster found in a hospital room, they are perfectly content to mock themselves in this regard.

Understanding A Doctor’s Writing

Understanding A Doctor’s Writing

Because there isn’t a single letter in the medical alphabet that isn’t made up of squiggles, we’ll refer to it as ‘Squiglish’ from now on. What exactly is it that makes this a reality for all physicians?

Proper Punctutation Is Important

Punctuation is important at all times, but especially when speaking with a doctor about your situation. If you don’t use proper punctuation, there may be some… misunderstanding. That perplexity, on the other hand, might be entertaining.

Proper Punctutation Is Important

Proper Punctutation Is Important

We can’t help but wonder if this happens on a regular basis, and if it’s always so amusing. Doctors, on the other hand, are likely to find this amusing and may even pass it along to their peers.

Looking For Compliments

There are some differences between military and civilian hospitals, but there are also some similarities. They frequently compete with one another, for example. These doctors seemed to be competing for the best mustache.

Looking For Compliments

Looking For Compliments

They included a question like that in their tiny questionnaires because the only way to settle something like that is to get public input. It’s the most subtle form of office humor. We have to admit, it’s a hilarious way of determining whether or not your mustache is stylish!

Unexpected Happenings

Working in an emergency room exposes you to a wide variety of scenarios. The vast majority of them will shock you to the point where all you can do is laugh about it. For example, finding heroin in someone’s crotch.

Unexpected Happenings

Unexpected Happenings

We hope that means “in their pants,” not “in their crotch,” but we wouldn’t be surprised if it did. That doesn’t seem too far-fetched, to be honest. We have no idea how we would react if we were in that situation.

Common Sense

It’s one of those things that you’d think is self-evident. It shouldn’t be necessary to tell people that junk food is bad for them. Despite this, some doctors are compelled to do so. If you don’t believe us, consider this: Here’s someone who’s had a similar experience.

Common Sense

Common Sense

We can’t imagine how many doctors are forced to refrain from directly referring to certain patients as “dumb.” After all, how could you believe the person you’re speaking with is insane after hearing that? It is not accessible to us.

Just Like TV

The general public regards medical doctors as professionals. But, at the end of the day, they’re just people, and when they need to vent, they’re likely to do so in an inappropriate manner.

Just Like TV

Just Like TV

Those who work in an emergency room are, of course, in the same boat. We hope they keep their shady jokes to themselves when they’re working with real patients, but when no one is around to hear them, they’ll definitely tell them.

The FAQ To End All FAQs

Doctors are commonly asked questions (thus the FAQ), so it’s understandable that they would compile a small FAQ to make things easier for themselves. The responses to this FAQ, on the other hand, are all amusing jokes.

The FAQ To End All FAQs

The FAQ To End All FAQs

As amusing as they are, we believe they are more popular with men than with women. Perhaps because it appeals to common preconceptions. Whatever the case may be, these questions will undoubtedly make anyone laugh!

How To Get Through The Night Shift

Many doctors are required to work the night shift, which is inconvenient. Coffee is used by many of them to stay awake no matter what. Of course, they don’t use an IV to infuse coffee. Unless they do, that is. Look at this picture.

How To Get Through The Night Shift

How To Get Through The Night Shift

Regardless, it’s a really funny joke that will hit a nerve with a lot of doctors. We’re sure this made a lot of nurses laugh! We’d even say that a lot of nurses from all over the world have made a joke like this one!
