As Long As You Don’t Have Any Blue Tits
Doctor/Physician, Extra Stupid, Glasgow, Hospital, Language & Words, Patients, Scotland, UK | Healthy | June 7, 2018
(My stepmum has been unwell for a few months and has been on a number of different antibiotics. Her symptoms aren’t improving, so she goes back to the doctor and my dad goes with her. During the examination, the following takes place.)
Doctor: “I’m going to put you on a stronger antibiotic, but before I do that, I want to make sure you haven’t had reactions to the antibiotic you’re currently on. Have you had any headaches or trouble sleeping?”
Stepmum: “No. I’m tired from the illness, but I have no trouble sleeping.”
Doctor: “Okay, and any stomach issues?”
Stepmum: “No, that’s fine, too.”
Doctor: “Great. Now, this might be a bit sensitive, but have you had any thrush?”
Stepmum: *looks at my dad, confused* “No, but I have a parrot at home!”
Dad: *nearly peeing his pants with laughter* “He’s means a yeast infection, not a bird!”
