I had no idea it ever was

Patient quote:

"Doctor, I've had so many of my friends die from brain cancer that it isn't funny anymore."

"That first couple was hilarious. We laughed and laughed. Number 3? Man! It's just too much."

A fellow "medical language specialist" shared a link for this site and here I am, laughing away. I'm glad to see a doctor sharing the funny things their PATIENTS say, just like we who transcribe what doctors say are often sharing the hilarious stuff WE hear (removing names and any other identifying information, of course!).

You might want to join some of our medical transcriber groups and be a fly on the wall sometime, Dr. Grumpy!

May none of your patients laugh even in the least over death from cancer today.

I hear you, it is sort of like Penn and Teller, Carrottop and Don Rickles.

"So what I'm thinking is that next time one of my friends loses his hair from chemotherapy, I'll get a Magic Marker and draw dicks all over his bald head when he's asleep. Man, I can hardly wait."

But if you repeat something enough times, it becomes funny again.

"Good thing there's still autoerotic strangulation."

Maybe he has a frontal lobe brain cancer himself.

One of the weird things about idiomatic English is the way we use the idioms without really thinking about what we're saying.

Then again, some people don't think at all.

When is a glioma funny? When it's a blast !

What's the difference between a patient with multilobular brain cancer and Shea stadium? In Shea Stadium, the mets usually lose.

I think we will see a lot of brain cancer that can be tied to excessive use of radiation and x-rays for a wide variety of purposes in the 40's and 50's. I had an Uncle die last year from gliosarcoma, with the most likely cause being the use of a radium source to remove a birthmark on his head when he was an infant in the early 40's.
