Last patient of the day, and the week for that matter. 51 year old lady.
Dr. Grumpy: "Any changes in your medications since your last visit?"
Mrs. Friday: "Yes, I'm not taking birth control pills any more."
Dr. Grumpy: "Oh, are you menopausal?"
Mrs. Friday (puzzled look): "No, Doctor, I'm Hispanic."
Haha. Like a scene in "Bend it Like Beckham" where the grandmother says "shes not Lebanese, she is Punjabi" after someone hurls a homophobic slur at her granddaughter.

ReplyDeleteWhat was your response? "Oh, but of course!"
