Doctors have a tough job. I know a few doctors and my dad is a doctor, and I can tell you that they have some stories to tell. Oh, don’t worry, they don’t use names. They are ethical and practice confidentiality, of course. But they have some stories that would make you question the intelligence of the human species. Doctors deal with life and death situations every day, and they have to learn to deliver even the worst news in the most gentle way, and that is one of the hardest parts of the job. However, one of the most difficult tasks a doctor has ever had to do may be having to tell a mother that her precious and innocent little girl is going to have a baby. In the joke below, the mother can scarcely believe it, but if the doctor’s reaction is any indication, he’s been on this road before. Enjoy this hilarious joke.
A woman takes her 16-year-old daughter to the doctor. The doctor says, “Okay, Mrs. James, what’s the problem?”
The mother says, “It’s my daughter Darla. She keeps getting these cravings, she’s putting on weight, and is sick most mornings.”
The doctor gives Darla a good examination, then turns to the mother and says, “Well, I don’t know how to tell you this, but your Darla is pregnant-about 4 months, would be my guess.”
The mother says, “Pregnant?! She can’t be, she has never ever been left alone with a man! Have you, Darla?”
Darla replies, “No mother! I’ve never even kissed a man!”
The doctor walked over to the window and just stares out it. About five minutes pass and finally the mother says, “Is there something wrong out there doctor?”
The doctor replies, “No, not really, it’s just that the last time anything like this happened, a star appeared in the east and three wise men came over the hill. I’ll be damned if I’m going to miss it this time!”
