Let's face it—visiting the doctor or dentist is rarely anyone’s favorite activity. It’s just one of those inevitable parts of life. You pay taxes, stay hydrated, and cringe at the thought of those appointments.
But lately, things are changing. Medical professionals are beginning to use humor to lighten the mood and make visits less stressful. Honestly, I wish these witty doctors and dentists were the ones I had!
The Secret Stash
You know what pairs perfectly with a lousy diagnosis? A Twix bar. And what's the ideal companion to hearing your blood sugar is in a good range? Starburst.
I can’t help but wonder if this drawer sits right beneath the one filled with needles. Actually, maybe it’s better if I don’t know.
If Sméagol Can Look Good So Can You
This before-and-after duo is ideal for any orthodontist's office. If they can transform Sméagol from The Lord of the Rings into looking sharp, imagine what they could do for you.
He goes from desperate for "the precious" to ready to charm your girl.
Diagnosis With A View
For some reason, this image gives me a really uneasy vibe. It looks like the chair an evil doctor might use, forcing a patient to gaze longingly at a freedom they'll never reach.
Maybe it’s just my love for horror movies talking, but those windows are seriously unsettling.
Run Far Away
I don't know about you, but I’d be dialing the police right now. It’s clear the cats are plotting world domination, and judging by this one, their plan is well underway.
This feline looks like it’d gladly poison you just to speed things up and bring us back to the days when cats ruled like pharaohs in ancient Egypt. Just you wait.
Straight To The Point
This doctor didn't beat around the bush. The number of alcohol-related injuries and illnesses they must treat is staggering.
When it comes down to it, there’s a straightforward fix to avoid ending up face-first on the curb — just don’t drink two bottles of wine.
Oversharing Is Caring
When meeting a new doctor, it's crucial to offer some *very* candid details about your life.
Let them know about the numerous kids, grandkids, and great-grandkids that are adding to your stress levels. And of course, make sure to mention that you're a Bud Light enthusiast because, well, it's all about maintaining good health, right?
I Could've Used Some Of This
It's a common problem for young kids to have trouble sleeping because they’re convinced a monster is lurking under their bed.
This doctor cleverly solves that fear by giving them some monster spray, which works wonders for getting rid of the Boogieman. Monsters can be really scary when you're a kid—I know I hated them!
"But Dr. Oz Said..."
We'll dive into internet diagnoses soon, but TV ones can be just as frustrating. People who walk in convinced they know what's wrong with them because of Dr. Oz can be extremely annoying.
I say this as if I’ve dealt with them firsthand, which I haven’t, but hey, a man can dream.
Doc Coming In Hot With The Puns
If you're going to write a doctor's note, why not have a little fun with it? For instance, if someone has a leg injury, you could write, "She simply does not want to leg out this workday."
Honestly, I think I might've chosen the wrong career path. Are there professional doctors who specialize in crafting hilarious notes like this?
I Disagree Wholeheartedly
If you were like me as a kid, growing up with health-conscious parents, you never got to have a lollipop.
You missed out on all the sweet treats the world had to offer. If you had asked me back then, I would've swapped a few days of sickness for a full-on lollipop spree.
Doctors Of The Future
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that this is what doctors are going to look like in the future.
You're going to be talking to a screen on a clothing hanger. Either that, or you're going to be Skyping with an actual doctor who is still laying in bed with chip crumbs on his chest.
You Walk In And See Your Dentist Like This...
This guy does anything to make the appointment better. I can't think of anything worse than having to go to the dentist. It's literally awful.
There's no good that comes from your dentist jabbing your gums with medieval-style weapons and then getting mad at you for bleeding. Sorry doc, I don't usually stab myself with a sword.
Web MD Will Be The Death Of Us
I don't know about you, but I'm the worst for this. As soon as I have a sore throat or a cough, I google the symptoms.
According to Web MD, I've had Lou Gehrig's disease, toe cancer, elbow cancer, and throat cancer. I've also had lordosis, seventy-two lung diseases and fifty-four types of the bird-flu.
Tomato, Tomat-toe
Look doc, it's a cold to me. Have you ever been sitting in a doctor's office and they hit you with the medical term for a common virus?
Like, yeah sorry, you have hepto-bronical-death-virus. And you're sitting there thinking you have five days to live but really it's just another way of saying you have a sore throat.
Makes Time Pass
Honestly, we've all been there. An hour goes by in your shift and it feels like eight. The clock is going slower than a turtle in slow motion.
So, you have to make some games to pass the time. Sometimes that means playing a hospital-tailored game of bingo. I'm all for it.
This Is Comforting
You do have to admit that this is a bit comforting. Waiting in the ER surrounded by other sick and hurt people is depressing.
First of all, you feel sick. Second of all, you have to sit there for three hours listening to a mother trying to comfort her screaming baby.
A Little Pregnancy Humor
As a male, I can't imagine having to give birth. Just the thought of it makes me shudder in pain. I mean, yes, I don't even have the parts to do it so that could be a reason.
But, even from an objective standpoint, the idea that a human comes out of your body is pretty scary.
