Patients Say The Darndest Things #3

D: Sir, do you have any other medical problems?

P: No, no medical problems.

D: High blood pressure? Diabetes? Heart problems? Cancer?

P: Oh, you mean like medical problems? Ya, I’ve got blood pressure and diabetes.


No, no, I meant FINANCIAL problems the first time I asked. But I'm glad you are sharing your medical problems with me.

MS: Have you ever had any surgeries?
P: No, no surgeries.
MS: (examines patient, sees AV fistula in patient's arm) What's this?
P: Oh, that was for my dialysis.
MS: You're on dialysis?
P: Well, not anymore. I had a kidney transplant.

(Since when does getting a NEW ORGAN not constitute surgery? They really do say the darndest things...)
