Doctor Humour,  Patients,  Medical Practice

Doctor Humour is Infectious, Contagious, and Good Medicine!

Laughter is the best medicine.  Humour is infectious. The sound of laughter is more contagious than any cough or sneeze. Laughter can trigger healthy physical changes in the body and has the capacity to boost your energy, diminish pain, and relieve stress.

We offer the following bloopers which presumably come from actual patient records.

Note:  None of the excerpts below come from any of the hundreds of thousands of records managed by RSRS.  At no time, does RSRS review the content of the medical records that it securely stores or scans for our physician and hospital clients.  These excerpts are

Enjoy!…  Feel free to share.  Laughing with someone else is better than
laughing alone!
