Mr. Comic needs a brain “sturgeon” to recalibrate things.

You would think Dr. Fengler could wait until the patient was out cold.

okay, Mrs Johnston… this hysterectomy won’t take long

No, I’m not a Doctor, but I played one in a comic strip…

“Calling Dr. Howard, Dr. Fine, Dr. Howard.”

I knew this guy who would never have surgery on a Monday. He felt surgeons drank all weekend.

In other news, Dr Fengler soon stopped getting patients and went to work at a Dunkin Donuts.

Scary thing happened to me in the operating room…after being put under, I woke up to hear the nurse say, “It’s in” and saw her walk around to the side of the table…after she intubated me. Then I went out again! Yikes!

Yeah, the patient doesn’t appreciate your sense of humor.

Laugh and the whole world thinks your mad, cry and the whole world knows it’s true…

Ooops! Someone forgot to sedate the patient.

It seems like the laughing gas has already been used up.

Is this supposed to be a prank on the patient? He doesn’t appear to be amused.

Shouldn’t the patient’s nose be lighting up red?

In truth, surgeons and surgical nurses tell some truly fudged-up jokes while people are under….
