Comedian and TV host Jimmy Fallon periodically calls Twitter users to submit real-life stories for The Tonight Show‘s special #Hashtag segment. He then reads them aloud during the show, and the chosen few never fail to get some laughs out of the audience. These hashtags usually go viral and get thousands of submissions. The theme this time was #mydoctorisweird, and people from all around the world sent in tweets. Whether you go for a general check-up or address a specific complaint, you never know what will happen at the doctor’s office. The experience can be memorable in a good way or a bad one. Most of these physicians were only guilty of making some awkward jokes, but others were unacceptably rude to their patients. Here are some tweets that did not make it on the show but still deserve some credit.
He was surprised his patient followed directions
Going to a doctor’s appointment usually involves disrobing of some kind. It can be very uncomfortable to take your clothes off in front of a stranger. In winter, when temperatures drop, the cold makes the experience even worse. Remember how it feels to have an ice-cold stethoscope placed on your chest? No wonder many would hesitate to remove any clothing.
Setting comfort aside, there are two types of people in the world: those who do what their doctor tells them and those who do not. This person belongs to the first group. After dealing with so many patients constantly second-guessing his advice, he must have been prepared to fight until the end to convince them. He was probably surprised that someone finally did what they were told so quickly.
