- The Case of the Blue-Handed Patient
Imagine going to the doctor because your hands are turning blue, only to find out it’s not a medical condition but rather an issue with your fashion choices! That’s what happened to u/raybanomics’s roommate. It turns out, the ink from his unwashed new jeans was rubbing off on his hands and making them blue. Lesson learned: always wash your new clothes!
- X-Rays and Lost in Translation
In a twist of events, u/epona92 found themselves caught in an argument between their German doctor and international interns. The doctor insisted that their right leg was shorter than their left, despite evidence to the contrary. It took the intervention of a South African intern to set things right. Sometimes, even doctors can get confused!
- A Childhood Mishap Turned Family Tale
When u/TheOnlyOne87 was five years old, they had a little accident while riding a mini motorcycle. They ended up with a deep cut on their leg and had to get stitches. But that’s not the awkward part. When the doctor pulled down their trousers for the examination, they realized they weren’t wearing any underwear! Talk about an embarrassing family anecdote!
- Foot in Mouth Moment
At the age of ten, u/pickanotherusername had a ruptured appendix and had to undergo an enema for diagnosis. In a moment of unintentional savagery, they told the doctor, “You must be the least popular doctor in the hospital.” The doctor’s response? “I don’t get many thank-you cards.” Oops!
- April Fool’s Day Fiasco
On April Fool’s Day, u/FruitF***ing had a panic-inducing experience when they found red-colored toilet paper. Rushing to the doctor, they were met with an attractive doctor who had to examine their buttocks. Awkward! Luckily, it turned out that the cause of the redness was nothing more than the aftermath of a night of drinking, smoking, and eating flaming hot Cheetos. Phew!
- The Great Taste Bud Mystery
When u/va_bene noticed large, pink spots on the back of their tongue, they became worried and went to the doctor with their concerned mother. After a week of fretting, it turned out those spots were nothing more than their taste buds! The doctor couldn’t help but crack a smile at this funny misunderstanding.
- A Fart Mishap
Pregnancy can bring along some uncomfortable moments, and u/FearlessEyes experienced just that during a doctor’s visit. Trying to hold in a fart, they eventually let it out, only for the doctor to walk in seconds later, asking about the smell. Awkward? Definitely!
- A Case of Hypochondria
Turning 30 can bring about some interesting changes, as u/PalmerKid discovered. Suddenly becoming a hypochondriac, they went to their doctor convinced they had breast cancer. The doctor, trying to keep a straight face, asked if the pain got worse during their period. That one question was enough to put an end to a year of hypochondria.
- Sports Injuries and Normal Conversations
For u/KakunaUsedHarden, visits to the doctor for sports injuries always seemed to take an unexpected turn. Despite the initial pain, as soon as the doctor asked, “Does it hurt when I do this?” the answer was always a resounding “No.” In the end, the doctor’s conclusion was simple: “I think you’ll be fine.” Mystery solved?
- The Accidental Kiss
Taking their one-year-old son to the doctor for an ear infection, u/reedyforkmike found themselves in an awkward situation. Trying to comfort their upset child, they leaned in to give a gentle kiss on the head, only to accidentally smooch the doctor’s hand instead. Talk about a memorable doctor’s visit!
