Doctors Talk About Their Stupidest Patients

People can be pretty dense, and medicine is a complex subject, so it’s no surprise that there’s going to be a mismatch when the two worlds collide.

I found this bunch of anonymous stories from doctors (mostly American I think) and thought I’d pass them your way. I’m well aware that some of them could be fake, but they’re just mad enough and not too mad to believe so I’m going to suspend my disbelief and chortle along.
