One intern was trying to explain a medical condition to a patient. He got so flustered that he started using medical jargon mixed with made - up words. The patient just stared at him blankly, and when the intern realized what he'd done, he had to start all over again in plain language. It was quite a comical scene. Medical interns often struggle with communicating clearly in the beginning, and this was a prime example of that. They are used to talking to colleagues in a very technical way, but patients need simple and understandable explanations.
A medical intern was asked to draw blood from a patient. He was so focused on finding the vein that he didn't notice he had bumped into the bedside table and knocked over a glass of water. The patient and the nurse couldn't stop laughing. He was really embarrassed but learned to be more aware of his surroundings.
One funny story is when an intern accidentally put on his stethoscope backwards while trying to impress a senior doctor during rounds. Everyone had a good laugh when the doctor pointed it out.
Sure. One funny intern story is about an intern who was asked to make copies. Instead of using the copy machine properly, he somehow managed to print out hundreds of blank pages because he thought the 'test print' button was the 'copy' button. It took everyone a while to figure out what had happened.
Sure. There was a medical assistant who was supposed to be weighing a patient. However, he forgot to zero out the scale first. So when the patient stepped on, the scale showed a really strange number. The patient was shocked until the assistant realized his mistake and apologized, saying he thought the patient had some superhuman weight for a moment. They both had a chuckle over it.
There was an intern at a design studio. She was asked to send out some design samples to a client. She accidentally put the wrong address on the package. When the client called to ask about the delay, they all realized what had happened. The intern felt really bad at first, but then the team worked together to quickly correct the mistake and send the samples to the right place. And now it's a story they all laugh about.
Yes, there were a few. There were some stories about how medical teams tried to communicate with Ebola patients who didn't speak the same language. They had to use a lot of gestures and creative ways to explain medical procedures. One time, a doctor was trying to show a patient how to take a particular medicine and ended up mimicking a very strange animal to get the patient's attention. It was a bit of a comical situation, but it also shows the challenges and the ingenuity of the medical teams in the face of Ebola.
There was an intern who worked in a very competitive environment. The other interns were constantly trying to outdo each other in a negative way. This intern was excluded from group projects and meetings just because the others saw them as a threat. They felt isolated and miserable during their internship.
Well, here's a funny senior story. There's an elderly lady who loves to knit. One day, she knitted a scarf so long that it could wrap around her house three times. As for a funny medical story, a patient once went to the dentist. The dentist asked him to open his mouth wide, and the patient accidentally let out a huge yawn instead, which made the dentist burst out laughing. The patient was so embarrassed but it was really funny.
Well, I heard about a situation in a hospital where a new intern was trying to take a patient's blood pressure. But he got the cuff on the wrong way around. When the doctor came to check, they all had a good laugh. Also, there was a man who went to the doctor complaining of a strange pain. After all the tests, it turned out he had been sitting on his glasses for hours.
There was a medical assistant who was trying to show a new piece of medical equipment to a patient. But instead of demonstrating it properly, he got all tangled up in the wires and ended up looking like he was caught in a web. The patient couldn't stop laughing, and the assistant joined in too, and then they both calmed down and the assistant finally managed to show how the equipment worked. Well, after a lot of untangling first, of course.
There was a case where a nurse was taking a patient's temperature. The thermometer beeped and showed an extremely high temperature. The nurse panicked, but then realized that the patient had just had a hot cup of coffee right before. Another time, a doctor was examining a child who had a toy stethoscope and kept trying to 'examine' the doctor back, which was really cute.
