Hospital Hallway Funnies – Overheard and Out of Context Humor

Posted by Dun Tzu on the November 7th, 2010

Check out these latest Hospital Hallway Funnies – from our collection of overheard and out of context conversations from our fellow healthcare professionals. Read some of these and you’ll begin to think professional should be in quotes.

We have collected hundreds of such quotes… specifically, quotes heard in the hospital that, without context, could be quite humorous. Here’s a recent sample from @GiggleMed Twitter posts:

So, let me get this straight… You actually wanted me to consume your product?

Biology humor - Endosperm reference on whole wheat cereal not so appetizing

Yeah, sure. I know what endosperm is. I had biology and botany before medical school, but c’mon. Did you actually pass your marketing courses?

You must have graduated one notch above this guy:

nursing home humor - real photo, real bad marketing

…I’m just sayin’.

Hospital Hallway Funnies – Medical Humor, But Not On Purpose

Posted by Dun Tzu on the November 12th, 2009

If you’re not following @GiggleMed on Twitter, you are missing out on a series of hilarious medical humor tweets – Hospital Hallway Funnies.

It all started with a committee meeting when I heard another physician say, “As far as I’m concerned, the doctors shouldn’t have to do anything.” I wrote that statement down and put it on my desk…

I have since collected hundreds of quotes… specifically, quotes heard in the hospital that, without context, could be quite humorous. Here’s a recent sample from my Twitter posts:

Medical Education Humor: When All-Nighters Go Too Far

Posted by Dun Tzu on the October 2nd, 2009

Nurses, doctors, techs… really all of us in healthcare have had our late nights studying. In med school, it was not uncommon to string together a few all-nighters. I could see something like this emerging at the end of one of those strings…

Cellular mitosis demonstrated on donuts

Umm, yeah… I’ll have two anaphase… uh… one late prophase… and, oh! does the telophase count as one or two?

The original artwork comes from a 2005 photo series by Kevin Van Aelst. And for you quacks who didn’t study… this is a model of cellular mitosis.

Funnies From the Medical Literature

Posted by Dun Tzu on the August 30th, 2009

OK… The medical literature is too rich with (unintentional) humor, that I can’t help but start a series about it. Medical Literature Classics – some funny things from our glorious past.

This one happens to come from DeGowin & DeGowin, 1977… which is actually not that long ago.

A Toilet, a Family Meeting, & a Funeral

Posted by Dun Tzu on the July 28th, 2009

You might wonder what in the world this has to do with medical humor… but it’s too darn cute not to include.

Besides, if you think about it… toilets, kids, family meetings, death… all medically related…

Time for a Physical

Posted by Dun Tzu on the March 1st, 2009

This video is a little predictable, but funny nonetheless. The bedside manner and the hair cut (or lack of one) add to the humor. But, it’s also a tad disturbing in that this guy doesn’t wash his hands.

When Health Care Workers Raid the Sample Closet

Posted by Dun Tzu on the November 1st, 2008

I’m not sure who these people are, but I am sure they either raided the drug sample closet or lost some sort of costly wager… nurses, medical secretaries, techs, and physicians who will probably one day regret posting this thing on YouTube. It’s funny, but in an I’m-embarrassed-for-them sort of way. Check it out.
