Unbelievable facts
The medical profession is considered one of the most important in the world.
But a doctor is not only experience, professionalism and responsibility, but also unlimited patience and endurance. Some patients can make even the most calm and reserved doctor despair.
They ask silly questions that are sometimes impossible to find answers.
We offer you a selection of the most ridiculous questions, according to doctors, that patients asked them.
Stupid questions to the doctor
1. When it is important to choose the sex of the baby
“Doctor, are there any special pills to program the sex of a child? I must have a son!”
2. When a wedding is just around the corner and you want to look good
“Doctor, I'm getting married tomorrow. Do you have any vitamins to improve the condition of your nails and hair in one day?”
3. School certificate as an excuse for laziness
“Doctor, please, can you write my daughter's certificate stating that you, as a doctor, find schoolwork very exhausting. Please also indicate that my girl needs a break from school.”
4. When you love what you're allergic to
“Doctor, I'm allergic to cats. But I did get a cat. Can I get some vaccination—vaccination to get rid of this reaction?”
5. When your face is far from Instagram's ideals
“Doctor, my chin in the Instagram photo sticks out terribly forward. Can you give me plastic surgery to make me look good in the photo?”
6. When you are allergic, but you do not intend to give up your favorite treat
“Doctor, I'm allergic to avocados. When I eat more than three at a time, I feel terrible. What do you recommend to me?”
7. When a daughter refuses to eat healthy food
“My 10-year-old daughter refuses to eat vegetables. Can you refer her to a hypnotherapist?”
8. How to get pregnant without a man
“Doctor, I don't have a boyfriend and I really want to have a baby. Can you give me a special pill to get pregnant?”
9. When you drink a lot of fluids but don't understand something
“Doctor, I go to the bathroom too often in a small way. Can you help me with anything?” (The patient who asked this question drank 5-6 cups of coffee a day and 10-11 glasses of water).
10. When you want two kids at once
“Doctor, I'm pregnant right now. Can I get pregnant with another baby now so that I can have two babies at once and not have to have a second child in the future?”
According to the source, all of the above questions were asked to doctors by patients in countries such as England and the United States. However, if you think our healthcare professionals don't face such absurdities, you're wrong.
Russian doctors decided to keep up with their Western colleagues and compiled their own collection of stupid questions that patients asked them.
So, we present to your attention the top of the most ridiculous phrases and questions that our doctors have ever heard in their practice:
• Once, a patient who was undergoing hip surgery asked an orthopedist with fear and tears in her eyes: “Doctor, you will cut off my leg, straighten my hip, and then you will sew my leg her back?”
• Doctor, is a double dose of vitamin B6 equal to a single dose of vitamin B12?
• One day, a lung cancer patient who smoked 2 packs of cigarettes a day asked his doctor: “Doctor, is it true that the disease may have been caused by cigarettes? And do you think I should smoke less now?”
• A patient who has been trying in vain for a long time to get pregnant asked the doctor: “Doctor, it is true that I may not be able to get pregnant because I am taking contraceptives ?”
• One day, a 5-year-old boy was brought to the dentist. His teeth were in terrible condition, and 4 baby teeth needed to be removed.
When asked by the doctor about how often the child brushes his teeth, his mother was surprised to ask: “Should children also brush their teeth?”
