Medical humor

Knock knock
Who's there?
HIPAA
HIPAA who?
I can't tell you that.

Thank you, Webhill!

One of my first encounters with HIPAA was when I was volunteering at the hospital during high school . . . the retired lawyer who was training me asked me at the end of my first day if I had any questions, and I asked him what HIPAA stood for. He didn't know :); April 13, 2012 at 4:45 PM
Teri said...: I'm the administrator of my department. I sent this to a bunch of people. One of the frzzled ones just saw "HIPAA" and came in and asked me what had happened with HIPAA - when I told her she said that since I often make gentle jokes in my announcements to the department (to get their attention) that she thought it was a serious warning.

Our Nigerian doctor called me up completely freaked out. He's never heard of knock-knock jokes.; April 17, 2012 at 1:28 PM
