Dr Experiences (from Dr. B)
A man comes into the ER and yells, "My wife's going to have her baby in the cab!" I grabbed my stuff, rushed out to the cab, lifted the lady's --Dress, and began to take off her underwear. Suddenly I noticed that there were several cabs, and I was in the wrong one. --Dr. Mark MacDonald, San Antonio, TX
At the beginning of my shift I placed a stethoscope on an elderly and slightly deaf female patient's anterior chest wall. "Big breaths," I instructed. "Yes, they used to be," remorsefully replied the patient. --Dr. Richard Byrnes, Seattle, WA
One day I had to be the bearer of bad news when I told a wife that her husband had died of a massive myocardial infarct. Not more than five minutes later, I heard her reporting to the rest of the family that he had died of a "massive internal fart." --Dr. Susan Steinberg, Manitoba , Canada
I was performing a complete physical, including the visual acuity test. I placed the patient twenty feet from the chart and began, "Cover your right eye with your hand." He read the 20/20 line perfectly. "Now your left." Again, a flawless read. "Now both," I requested. There was silence. He couldn't even read the large E on the top line. I turned and discovered that he had done exactly what I had asked; he was standing there with both his eyes covered. I was laughing too hard to finish the exam. --Dr. Matthew Theodropolous, Worcester , MA While acquainting myself with a new elderly patient, I asked, "How long have you been bed-ridden?" After a look of complete confusion she answered ... "Why, not for about twenty years since my husband died." --Dr. Rebecca St. Clair, Norfolk, VA
I was caring for a woman from Kentucky and asked, "So, how's your breakfast this morning?" --"It's very good, except for the Kentucky Jelly. I can't seem to get used to the taste," the patient replied. I then asked to see the jelly and the woman produced a foil packet labeled "KY Jelly." --Dr. Leonard Kransdorf, Detroit , MI
During a patient's two week follow-up appointment with his cardiologist, he informed me, his doctor, that he was having trouble with one of his medications. "Which one?" I asked. "The patch. The nurse told me to put on a new one every six hours and now I'm running out of places to put it!" I had him quickly undress and discovered what I hoped I wouldn't see. Yes, the man had over fifty patches on his body!
Now, the instructions include removal of the old patch before applying a new one. --Dr. Rebecca St. Clair, Norfolk, VA
And Finally . . . . A new, young MD doing his residency in OB was quite embarrassed performing female pelvic exams. To cover his embarrassment he had unconsciously formed a habit of whistling softly. The middle aged lady upon whom he was performing this exam suddenly burst out laughing and further embarrassed him. He looked up from his work and sheepishly said, "I'm sorry. Was I tickling you?" She replied, "No doctor, but the song you were whistling was 'I wish I was an Oscar Meyer Wiener." --won't admit his name.

Dear All
Over the past few weeks I have received many funny images/jokes and have emailed them to friends who I thought shared the same sense of humor.
Unfortunately, I seem to have upset a few people and received criticism for being sexist and shallow.
So, from now on, I am only emailing pictures of old monuments, nature and other cultural sights which are educational for your mind.
Here is a picture of the Pont Neuf Bridge in Toulouse, France.
Thanks

Last night, my blond friends and I went to a Ladies Night Club. One of the girls wanted to impress the rest of us, so she pulled out a $10 bill. When the male dancer came over to us, my friend licked the $10 bill and stuck it to his butt cheek!
Not to be outdone, another friend pulls out a $20 bill. She called the guy back, licks the $20 bill, and sticks it to his other butt cheek.
In another attempt to impress the rest of us, my third friend pulls out a $50 bill and calls the guy over, and licks the $50 bill.
I'm worried about the way things are going, but fortunately, she just stuck it to one of his butt cheeks again.
My relief was short-lived. Seeing the way things are going, the guy races over to me!
Now everyone's attention is focused on me, and the guy is egging me on to try to top the $50.
My brain was churning as I reached for my wallet.
What could I do?
The woman in me took over!
Got out my ATM card,
swiped it down the crack of his butt, grabbed the eighty bucks, and left!!!!

The male author was responding to a woman who accidentally walked into the men's restroom:
Please don't feel bad. It wasn't you entering the men's washroom that caused that guy to pee on the guy next to him.
Hell, we do that all the time. It's rare for us guys to ever hit what we’re aiming for. Sometimes I go into the washroom, start to pee, and then just start spinning around; just so I'll make sure I hit something.
You see, something you ladies should understand by now is that men's penises have a mind of their own. A guy can go into a bathroom stall because all the urinals are being used, take perfect aim at the toilet, and his penis will still manage to piss all over the roll of toilet paper, down his left pant leg, and onto his shoe.
I'm telling 'ya those little buggers can't be trusted. After being married 28 years my wife has me trained. I'm no longer allowed to pee like a man - standing up. I am required to sit down and pee. She has convinced me that this is a small price to pay. Otherwise if she had gone to the toilet one more time at night and either sat on a pee soaked toilet seat, or fell right into the toilet because I forgot to put the seat down, she was going to kill me in my sleep.
Now another thing us guys don't usually like to talk about, but because you and I have become such good friends and you think I'm a classy guy, I might as well be candid with you because it's a real problem, and you ladies need to be understanding. It's the dreaded "morning wood".
Most mornings us guys wake up with two things. A tremendous desire to pee, and a penis so hard you could cut diamonds with it. Well, no matter how hard you try, you can't get that thing to bend, and if it don't bend you can't aim, well hell, if you can't aim you have no choice but to piss all over the wallpaper and that damn fuzzy toilet seat cover you women insist on putting on the toilet.
And by the way, when you use those damn fuzzy toilet seat covers, the friggin' toilet seat won't stay up by itself. So that means we have to use one hand to hold up the toilet seat and the other hand to try to control ourselves for that perfect aim.
Now sometimes, when you're newly married, (and I know the guys in here will back me up on this) you think you can get the toilet seat with that damn fuzzy thing to stay up. You jam it back and compress that fuzzy thing until the seat stays there. OK, so you start to pee, but then that compressed fuzzy starts to decompress and without warning that damn toilet seat comes flying down and tries to whack off your weenie.
So us guys will not lift a toilet seat with a fuzzy, it's just not safe. I tried to delicately explain this morning situation to my wife. I told her... look, it won't bend. She said, "sit down like I told you to do all the rest of the time." OK. I tried sitting down on the toilet with "morning wood".
Well it's is very hard to get it bent under the toilet seat, and before I could manage it, I had pissed all over the bath towels hanging on the wall across the room. Now, even if you are sitting down and you can get it forced down under the toilet seat, when you start to pee the pee shoots out from the crack between the bottom of the toilet seat and the top of the bowl. You piss all over the back of your knees and it runs down the back of our legs on to that damn matching fuzzy horseshoe rug you keep putting on the floor in front of the toilet.
I have found the only effective maneuver to deal with this morning urinary dilemma is to assume the flying superman position laying over the toilet seat.
This takes a great deal of practice, perfect balance, and split time precision but it's the only sure way to get all the pee in the bowl during the first morning pee.
So you ladies have to understand that us men are not totally to blame. We are sensitive to your concerns about hygiene and bathroom cleanliness, but there are times when things just get beyond our control.
It's not our fault, it's just Mother Nature. Now, if it was Father Nature, ... there wouldn't have been a problem!!!

While growing up, we would come home to find poems written on post cards or little gifts on our pillows. Somehow our Mom always knew everything that was going on in our lives. I still wonder how she always knew my inner fears, insecurities, and about my insignificant little problems. Don’t take me wrong, at the time those ‘little problems’ were major world catastrophes … well to me, they were! … lol
Even some of the things that I thought I got away with, she knew about!
When nostalgia sets in, and she recalls moments from my childhood she tells me about them and then laughs when she says: ‘… and you thought I didn’t know about it! …. hehehehehe ‘ and here I am thinking for the last 12 years that I got away 'with it'! … Makes me wonder what else she knows that I’m not aware of! |

A Winner's Creed
If You think You are beaten,
You are;
If You think You dare not,
You don't;
If You'll like to win,
but think You can't,
It's almost a cinch
You won't.
If You think you'll lose,
You're lost;
For out of the world we
find
Success begins with a
person's will.
It's all in the state of mind
Life's battles don't always
go
To the stronger or faster
hand;
But sooner or later
The person who wins
Is the one who thinks
-
" I Can"

Life's Lessons After a while You learn the difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul. You learn that Love isn't leaning but lending support. You begin to accept your defeats with the grace of an adult, not the grief of a child. You decide to build your roads on today, for tomorrow's ground is too uncertain. You help someone plant a garden instead of waiting for someone to bring You flowers. You learn that God has given You the strength to endure and that You really do have worth.

Sentenced to life on the remote island prison of D'If, Edmond becomes consumed by plans for revenge. Thirteen years pass and he meets a fellow innocent convict, Abbe Faria, who becomes Edmond's mentor in sword fighting, finance, and escape, confiding that a vast treasure awaits a discoverer on the island of Monte Cristo. Eventually, Edmond is able to get away using Faria's tunnels and makes his way to Monte Cristo, where he retrieves the fortune and uses it to make himself over as the wealthy "Count of Monte Cristo." With the help of a loyal sidekick, Edmond insinuates himself into French royalty and sets about getting revenge on Villefort and Fernand, who is now married to Mercedes.

My Favorite Quotes from The Count of Monte Cristo (2002)
-
Edmond: Life is a storm, my young friend. You will bask in the sunlight one moment, be shattered on the rocks the next.
-
Dorleac: Now you're thinking, just now. "Why me, O God?" The answer is, God has nothing to do with it. In fact, God is never in France this time of the year.
-
Dorleac: Let's make a bargain. You ask God for help, and I'll stop the moment He shows up.
-
Abbe Faria: When I told them I had no idea where Count Spada hid his treasure, I lied. Edmond: You lied? Abbe Faria: I'm a priest, not a saint.
-
Abbe Faria: In return for your help, I offer you something priceless. Edmond: My freedom? Abbe Faria: No, freedom can be taken away, as you well know. I offer you my knowledge.
-
Abbe Faria: Define Economics. Edmond: Economics is a science that deals with the production, distribution, and consumption of commodities. Abbe Faria: Translation? Edmond: Dig first, money later.
-
Abbe Faria: Here is your final lesson - do not commit the crime for which you now serve the sentence. God said, "Vengeance is Mine". Edmond Dantes: I don't believe in God. Abbe Faria: That doesn't matter. He believes in you.
-
Mercedes: Is Viscount Torville dead? Fernand: Well, unless his heart is situated somewhere other than the left side of his chest, I suspect he is.
-
Count of Monte Cristo: My solitude has ceased to be solitude. I am surrounded by the "Goddesses of Revenge".

Powder (1995)
|
|
|
This unusual modern-day fable concerns a super-powered teenager who inspires nothing but hostility in the small-minded folk of his hometown. Jeremy Reed, nicknamed "Powder" because he is an albino. Powder has been living his entire 16 years in his grandparents' basement, but they have both passed away. The boy is removed from his home and placed in a school. There, science teacher Ripley and psychologist Jessie Caldwell discover that in addition to being an albino, their new student is the smartest person who ever lived with an IQ off the charts, and that he is electrically super-charged, which renders him hairless. Powder also has miraculous powers of perception, ESP, and healing, which he uses to ease the death of the terminally ill wife of local Sheriff Barnum and to give a bigoted redneck hunter a firsthand demonstration of the pain suffered by a deer he's just shot. Powder's gentle nature attracts a pretty coed, Lindsey, but in spite of his Christ-like demeanor, Powder's abnormalities inspire hatred on the part of many bigoted citizens, especially school bully John Box. ~ Karl Williams, All Movie Guide-MovieWeb. |

My Favorite Quotes from Powder (1995)
-
Powder: If you thought I was so intelligent would you ask me if I understood?
-
Donald Ripley: It has become appallingly clear that our technology has surpassed our humanity. Powder: Albert Einstein. Donald Ripley: When I look at you, I have hope that maybe one day our humanity will surpass our technology.
-
Lindsey: What are people like, on the inside? Powder: Inside most people there's a feeling of being separate, separated from everything. Lindsey: And? Powder: And they're not. They're part of absolutely everyone, and everything.
-
Lindsey: It's hard to believe that, all of that. Powder: It's because you have this spot that you can't see past. My grams and gramps had it, the spot where they thought they were disconnected from everything. Lindsey: So that's what they'd see if they could? That they're really connected? Powder: And how beautiful they really are. And that there's no need to hide, or lie. And that it's possible to talk to someone without any lies, with no sarcasms, no deceptions, no exaggerations or any of the things that people use to confuse the truth. Lindsey: I don't know a single person who does that.

Patch Adams (1995)
|
|
|
Patch Adams is a comedy based on the true story of a compassionate but outrageous medical student who risks his career by defying the medical profession with his unwavering belief that laughter is contagious.
Inspired to become a doctor while institutionalized for depression as a teenager, Patch Adams attended the Medical College of Virginia in the late '60s and early '70s. After graduation, he formed the Gesundheit Institute, dedicated to a more connected, personalized approach to medicine.
Using unconventional methods and wacky surprises to ease patients' anxiety and enhance their healing, Patch helped pioneer the then-startling idea that doctors should treat people, not just disease. Compassion, involvement and empathy, Patch holds, are as great a value to physicians as breakthrough medicines and technological advancements. MovieWeb. |

My Favorite Quotes from Patch Adams (1998)
-
Hunter Patch Adams: All of life is a coming home. Salesmen, secretaries, coal miners, bookkeepers, sword swallowers, all of us. All the restless hearts of the world, all trying to find a way home. It's hard to describe what I felt like then. Picture yourself walking for days in the driving snow; you don't even know you're walking in circles. The heaviness of your legs in the drifts, your shouts disappearing into the wind. How small you can feel, and how far away home can be. 'Home'. The dictionary defines it as both a place of origin and a goal or destination. And the storm? The storm was all in my mind. Or as the Poet Dante put it: "In the middle of the journey of my life, I found myself in a dark wood, for I had lost the right path". Eventually I would find the right path, but in the most unlikely place.
-
Arthur Mendelson: You're focusing on the problem. If you focus on the problem, you can't see the solution. Never focus on the problem!
-
Arthur Mendelson: See what no one else sees. See what everyone chooses not to see... out of fear, conformity or laziness. See the whole world anew each day!
-
Hunter Patch Adams: What's wrong with death sir? What are we so mortally afraid of? Why can't we treat death with a certain amount of humanity and dignity, and decency, and God forbid, maybe even humor. Death is not the enemy gentlemen. If we're going to fight a disease, let's fight one of the most terrible diseases of all, 'Indifference'.
-
Hunter Patch Adams: Death. To die. To expire. To pass on. To perish. To peg out. To push up daisies. To push up posies. To become extinct. Curtains, deceased, demised, departed and defunct. Dead as a doornail. Dead as a herring. Dead as a mutton. Dead as nits. The last breath. Paying a debt to nature. The big sleep. God's way of saying, "Slow down".
-
Hunter Patch Adams: And if we bury you ass up, I have got a place to park my bike.

I am woman, hear me roar In numbers too big to ignore And I know too much to go back an' pretend 'Cause I've heard it all before And I've been down there on the floor No one's ever gonna keep me down again
Oh yes, I am wise But it's wisdom born of pain Yes, I've paid the price But look how much I gained If I have to I can do anything I am strong I am invincible I am woman
You can bend but never break me 'Cause it only serves to make me More determined to achieve my final goal And I come back even stronger Not a novice any longer 'Cause you've deepened the conviction in my soul
Oh, yes, I am wise But it's wisdom born of pain Yes, I've paid the price But look how much I gained If I have to I can face anything I am strong I am invincible I am woman
I am woman watch me grow See me standing toe to toe As I spread my lovin' arms across the land But I'm still an embryo With a long, long way to go Until I make my brother understand
Oh, yes, I am wise But it's wisdom born of pain Yes, I've paid the price But look how much I gained If I have to I can face anything I am strong I am invincible I am woman!
"I Am Woman" is a song co written by Helen Reddy and singer/songwriter/guitarist Ray Burton and performed by Reddy. Released in its most well-known version in 1972, the song became an enduring anthem for the Women’s Liberation Movement.

'CATS'
Mystical, Cute Creatures who take over your house
and without you realizing become....
" THE BOSS! "
Innocent???
You must be Joking! .... here are some quotes to prove my point!
Kittens are made wide eyed,
fluffy,
pink mouthed,
These attributes are what lies between them
and extinction when they have ripped
the new net curtains into shreds.
Pan Brown, B 1928
When my cats aren't happy,
I'm not happy ....
because I know they're just sitting there
thinking up ways to get even.
Penny Ward Moser
We have a cat that doesn't even
bother to run after mice.
She just lies around waiting
for the goldfish bowl to break.
A Cat isn't fussy ...
Just so long as you remember
he likes his milk in the shallow, rose-patterned saucer,
and his fish on the blue plate.
From which he will take it,
and eat it off the floor.
Arthur Bridges
Do not attempt to teach your
cats tricks,
they already know every
trick there is.
Sidra Malik
It's hard to watch Natural History
on TV with a small cat attempting
to catch the flamingos.
William Toms
Cats only occupy space and think
about three things: Food, Sex and nothing.
If they're neutered that only leaves FOOD!
Penny Ward Moser
Cats like to lie and listen to you calling.
When discovered, they're indignant:
" Moi? ..... I never knew you meant ME!"
Pam Brown, B. 1928
Of all the domestic animals
the cat is the most expressive.
His face is capable of showing
a wide range of expressions.
His tail is a mirror of his mind.
His gracefulness is surpassed
only by his agility.
And, along with all these, he
has a sense of humor.
Walter Chandoha
We've all had trouble with our animals, but I don't think anyone can top this one:
Calling in sick to work makes me uncomfortable. No matter how legitimate my excuse, I always get the feeling that my boss thinks I'm lying.
On one recent occasion, I had a valid reason but lied anyway, because the truth was just too darned humiliating. I simply mentioned that I had sustained a head injury, and I hoped I would feel up to coming in the next day. By then, I reasoned, I could think up a doozy to explain the bandage on the top of my head. The accident occurred mainly because I had given in to my wife's wishes to adopt a cute little kitty.
Initially, the new acquisition was no problem.
Then one morning, I was taking my shower after breakfast when I heard my wife, Deb, call out to me from the kitchen.
"Honey! The garbage disposal is dead again. Please come reset it."
"You know where the button is," I protested through the shower pitter-patter and steam.?? "Reset it yourself!"
"But I'm scared!" she persisted. "What if it starts going and sucks me in?" There was a meaningful pause and then, "C'mon, it'll only take you a second."
So out I came, dripping wet and butt naked, hoping that my silent outraged nudity would make a statement about how I perceived her behavior as extremely cowardly.
Sighing loudly, I squatted down and stuck my head under the sink to find the button. It is the last action I remember performing.
It struck without warning, and without any respect to my circumstances. No, it wasn't the hexed disposal, drawing me into its gnashing metal teeth. It was our new kitty, who discovered the fascinating dangling objects she spied hanging between my legs. She had been poised around the corner and stalked me as I reached under the sink. And, at the precise moment when I was most vulnerable, she leapt at the toys I unwittingly offered and snagged them with her needle-like claws. I lost all rational thought to control orderly bodily movements, blindly rising at a violent rate of speed, with the full weight of a kitten hanging from my masculine region.
Wild animals are sometimes faced with a "fight or flight" syndrome. Men, in this predicament, choose only the "flight" option. I know this from experience. I was fleeing straight up into the air when the sink and cabinet bluntly and forcefully impeded my ascent. The impact knocked me out cold.
When I awoke, my wife and the paramedics stood over me. Now there are not many things in this life worse than finding oneself lying on the kitchen floor butt naked in front of a group of "been-there, done-that" paramedics.
Even worse, having been fully briefed by my wife, the paramedics were all snorting loudly as they tried to conduct their work, all the while trying to suppress their hysterical laughter......and not succeeding.
Somehow I lived through it all. A few days later I finally made it back in to the office, where colleagues tried to coax an explanation out of me about my head injury. I kept silent, claiming it was too painful to talk about, which it was. "What's the matter?" They all asked, "Cat got your tongue?"
If? ..... they only knew!!!

'Smile' Charlie Chaplin's Theme Music for 1936 'Modern Times' Lyrics by John Turner and Geoffrey Parsons - 1954 Recorded by Nat "King" Cole (The lyrics for 'Smile' was never sang in the film 'Modern Times)
Smile tho' your heart is aching, Smile even tho' it's breaking, When there are clouds in the sky You'll get by,
If you smile thro' your fear and sorrow, Smile and maybe tomorrow, You'll see the sun come shin-ing thro' for you
Light up your face with gladness, Hide ev-'ry trace of sadness, Al -'tho a tear may be ever so near,
That's the time, You must keep on trying, Smile, what's the use of crying, You'll find that life is still worth-while, If you just smile. Original lyrics sheet from the Edna Purviance Research Collection.

' Who Wants To Live Forever ' This Poignant Ballard was composed by Brian May in a car after the Band had first viewed the rough cut of the film "Highlander" and became one of the central themes of the movie. The video for the single featured the full National Philharmonic Orchestra, forty choirboys and two thousand candles. It gave Queen yet another top Thirty Hit in Europe. There's no time for us
There's no place for us
What is this thing that builds our dreams yet slips away from us
Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever....?
There's no chance for us
It's all decided for us
This world has only one sweet moment set aside for us
Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever?
Who dares to love forever?
When love must die
But touch my tears with your lips
Touch my world with your fingertips
And we can have forever
And we can love forever
Forever is our today
Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever?
Forever is our today
Who waits forever anyway?  | | | |

While the sun hangs in the sky and the desert has sand
While the waves crash in the sea and meet the land
While there's a wind and the stars and the rainbow
Till the mountains crumble into the plain
Oh yes, we'll keep on tryin'
Tread that fine line
Oh, we'll keep on tryin' yeah
Just passing our time
While we live according to race, colour or creed
While we rule by blind madness and pure greed
Our lives dictated by tradition, superstition, false religion
Through the eons, and on and on
Oh yes, we'll keep on tryin'
We'll tread that fine line
Oh, oh we'll keep on tryin'
Till the end of time
Till the end of time
Through the sorrow all through our splendour
Don't take offence at my innuendo You can be anything you want to be
Just turn yourself into anything you think that you could
Ever be
Be free with your tempo, be free, be free
Surrender your ego - be free, be free to yourself
If there's a God or any kind of justice under the sky
If there's a point, if there's a reason to live or die
If there's an answer to the questions we feel bound to ask
Show yourself - destroy our fears - release your mask
Oh yes, we'll keep on trying
Hey, tread that fine line
Yeah we'll keep on smiling, yeah
And whatever will be - will be
We'll keep on trying
We'll just keep on trying
Till the end of time
Till the end of time  | | | |
