For me, when faced with adversity, a sense of humor has proven itself invaluable. Once a nurse measured me and said "You're six feet tall" to which I replied "I used to be six two" to which SHE replied "Yeah, you used to be eighteen too". ROFL! Has a nurse or doctor ever said something to you that tickled your funny bone? If so share it here π

When my doctor told me that was no signs of leukemia anymore he followed by saying we want to keep you around a little longer to keep being a pain in the ass, but in a good way....... love my doctor
Like the time they put me under and I proposed to a nurse. The doctor got a good laugh out of that. Nurse never did get back to me, ROFL!
I went to the operating room once and before they put me under they called a time out I then said wait I have joke! I told my joke and everyone in the room laughed the doc said put her under. Later during surgery they had to wake me and after asking me the question they needed the two surgeons proceeded their conversation about vacation to which I decided to get in on the conversation and again then said put her out.
I had that doc for 20 years and when I went in for my appointments I would tell the nurse to send in my boyfriend. He and I had great relationship and I sure do miss him since he retired.
Laughter is good medicine, even for cats. π€£
I had a cat once and the vet was demonstrating how easy it was to give her liquid medication via syringe π. "Nothing to it" he said as my sweet cat looked at him and spewed the medication at him! It was dripping off his hair, his glasses, his beard. And I said, "Oh...is that how you do it"? We all had a chuckle over itπ
