When the pizza is done, he goes up to the counter get it. There a clerk asks him: “Should I cut it into six pieces or eight pieces?”

A short history of medicine

“Doctor, I have an ear ache.”

2000 B.C. - “Here, eat this root.”

1000 B.C. - “That root is heathen, say this prayer.”

1850 A.D. - “That prayer is superstition, drink this potion.”

1940 A.D. - “That potion is snake oil, swallow this pill.”

1985 A.D. - “That pill is ineffective, take this

antibiotic.”

2000 A.D. - “That antibiotic is artificial. Here, eat this root!”

You might be an E.R. doctor if...

  • Your favorite hallucinogen is exhaustion.
  • You think that caffeine should be available in IV form.
  • You get an almost irresistible urge to stand and wolf your food even in the nicest restaurants.
  • You believe the waiting room should be equipped with a Valium fountain.
  • You have ever had a patient look you straight in the eye and say “I have no idea how that got stuck in there”.
  • Your most common assessment question is “what changed tonight to make it an emergency after 6 (hours, days, weeks, months, years)?

When a banker orders a pizza

A central banker walks into a

pizzeria to order a pizza.

When the pizza is done, he goes up to the counter get it. There a clerk asks him: “Should I cut it into six pieces or eight pieces?”

The central banker replies: “I’m

feeling rather hungry right now. You’d better cut it into eight pieces.”
