A woman calling Massachusetts General Hospital said, “Hello, I’d like to know if there is any sign of improvement in a patient.”
The receptionist asks, “What is the patient’s name and room number?”
“Of course,” the woman replies, “Sarah Finkel, room 304.”
The receptionist responds by saying, “Oh yes, Ms. Finkel is doing very well. In fact, if her blood pressure continues to improve like it has, then Dr. Cohen is considering sending her home on Tuesday!”
“That’s fantastic,” the woman replies, “oh, I’m so delighted!”
“From your enthusiasm, I’m guessing you must be a close family member?”
The woman replied, “I’m Sarah Finkel in 302! Dr. Cohen isn’t saying a word to me.”

Doctor: “You had twins, a boy and a girl. They’re both fine. And your brother named them for you.”
The woman: “No, no, no! Not my brother. He’s an idiot! What did he call the girl?”
Doctor: “Denise.”
Woman: “Oh, that’s actually a cute name. What about the boy?”
The doctor sighs deeply and says, “Deneveu.”

In a small-town clinic, a stubborn patient battles a persistent cold. Multiple treatments fail, leaving both doctor and patient frustrated. As the situation becomes increasingly desperate, the doctor prepares to suggest an unconventional approach that might raise a few eyebrows.
The man stumbled into his doctor’s office. The doctor prescribed him some pills, but they didn’t help. When the man returned for the second time, the doctor gave him an injection, but that didn’t help either.

When the man returned, the doctor told him, “Go home. Take a hot bath, and when you go out, open all the windows and stay in the draft.”
“But if I do that, I might get pneumonia, doc,” the man replied.
“I know,” said the doctor, “but I can cure pneumonia!”
