Oscar asked his friend David, "I heard you escaped from the Operation room. What happened?
David replied, "You have no idea what I went through at the hospital. The nurse kept saying 'Don't be worried', 'Don't be tense', 'Don't panic', 'It will soon be over', 'It is only a small operation' and so on."
Oscar said, "She must be trying to pacify you. Why were you so scared?"
David replied, "I was scared....because she was speaking to the Doctor!!"

Dr. Jones had a difficult time convincing Peter that he needed to get operated for his appendix problem. Peter finally agreed and asked the doctor about the expenses involved in the operation.
Dr. Jones said, "Well, it will cost you around $10,000 dollars."
Seeing the hesitation on Peter's face, Dr. Jones said, "Listen I will make it easier for you. You can pay me an advance of $3000 dollars and give me the balance amount of $7000 dollars in small installments of $1000 dollars each month."
Peter said, "I feel like I am buying a car."
Dr. Jones nodded and said, "You are absolutely right - its just not you, but me who is buying a car."

Old man Juan Carlos was in the operation room, waiting for his son, a noted cardiologist, to perform a surgery on him.
Before the assistant doctor could administer anesthesia, Juan Carlos requested that he be allowed to speak to his doctor son in private. When they were alone, Juan Carlos said, "I love you, my son. Do not be nervous. You have many years of experience behind you so give it your best shot. If something goes wrong, just remember that your mom is gonna move to your place permanently to spend the rest of her life with you and your wife."

Dorothy visited a shrink and told him, "Whenever I lie down on the bed, I get this mind-numbing fear that something is below the bed."
The shrink said, "I have treated many phobias but this seems to be a unique case. But do not worry, I will help you get rid of it."
Dorothy said, "Thank you. How many sessions will it take?"
The shrink replied,"Probably 20 to 25. It will cost 75 pounds per session but by the end of it, you would be completely cured."
When Dorothy did not turn up for the first session, the shrink called her. "Why didn't you come?", he asked.
Dorothy replied, "When I informed the cost of the treatment to my husband, he found an immediate solution to save the money. He cut the legs of the bed."

She was so shocked, she ran out of the examination hall.
Just then Dr. Jenkins entered the clinic, and saw Tracy in a hysterical condition.
When Tracy told him what happened, he asked her to sit down and relax.
Dr. Jenkins then marched to the examination room and asked the junior doctor, "Are you out of your mind? Don't you know Tracy is 61 years old, she has two grown-up children and several grand-children.Why did you tell her she's pregnant?"
The junior doctor, who was scribbling something on a notepad, continued to write and answered, "She doesn't have hiccups anymore, does she?"

Thomas braced himself and said to the doctor, "Okay, tell me, how bad is it?"
Doctor Ludwig said, "You have less than 48 hours to live."
Thomas exclaimed, "What??!! I can't believe this! What could we worse than this?"
Doctor Ludwig sighed and said, "I was unable to get through your phone since day before."

He said to the shrink, "I am very anxious about my son's condition. He thinks he is a duck."
The shrink asked him, "Since when has he been displaying such behavior?"
Mr. Pereira replied, "Almost 6 months I guess."
The shrink exclaimed, "My god, why didn't you see me earlier about this problem?"
Mr. Pereira replied, "I am ashamed to say this. But we needed the eggs."

Albert replied, "No. Never. Not even in my dreams."
Dr. Wells asked, "Do you smoke?"
Albert replied, "No. I understand the perils of smoking. Never even touched a cigarette."
Dr. Wells asked, "How is your sex life? Do you indulge too much?"
Albert replied, "It's a complete no-no. It is a sin. I completely refrain."

and let me sleep!"
After about 10 minutes, Bubba calls again and says, "Dr Sobers, I am mighty sure it's her appendix."
Dr. Sobers yells, "Good lord, have I not told you already I removed her appendix. Do you know of anyone having a second appendix?"
Bubba replies, "No. I have not. Have you ever heard of someone having a second wife?"

Dr. Jones had served many years as an Obstetrician/gynecologist, but he felt he had reached a saturation point. His mind was no longer in his job. He wanted to do something else for the rest of his life. Dr. Jones had a fascination for mechanical things and remembered he enjoyed automotive training in school and, therefore decided to go in for a career change and to become an auto mechanic. He enrolled at an automotive school.
He completed the course and was required to appear for the final exams. The physical exam consisted of taking a car engine apart and then putting it back together. Dr. Jones completed his project and was amazed to receive a grade of 125%. Dr. Jones asked the examiner how could he score a 125%.
"Well," answered the examiner, "I granted you 50% for taking the engine apart, 50% for putting it back together and another 25% for doing everything through the muffler"!

Good morning everyboomie.
The weekend is over, sad to say.
Saturday was a very busy day for me, and then Sunday not so much.
Both days were pretty nice days.
I finally got around to mowing the yard Saturday.
Today I have to go in to Lowe's and see what's what.
I'm afraid I'll be starting back to work this week, which could be good, could be a drag. I'm conflicted.
At least if I hate it, I know I can always retire.
Have a happy day everyone.

Good Morning Joe, Ana and all. Coffee and tea are ready. 
He had developed Cancer. He lost 14 lbs and most of his muscle tone. Dr. Chris said it would be hard, but the right thing to do. I trust his judgement as he loved Outlaw like he was his own. 
My heart is heavy for you, I have two here that are the same. It is a hard decision, but we owe them a peaceful, pain free crossing to rainbow bridge. Big hugs to you.
