DrS, a naughty joke...
By the way I do recall a true story in one of the hospitrals here where a paediatrician was calling in mothers with babies and was sucking their nipples.
One of the mothers compained he told her he was doing it in order to know whether she had milk and she could breast feed... Well, he was thrown out of hospital and as much as I know he lost his medical license and was charged. What happened with the sentence I don't know...So here you have it- although yours is a joke, there were actual stories in the same mould..

A patient goes to see his GP as he has terrible back pain. He has tried lots of different pain killers so far but the GP recommends a powerful suppository. After a lot of pursuading the man agrees and the doctor administers the first suppository and advises him that if his back is still painful in 8 hours he should take the second, but that it needs to be pushed a long way up so he may need to ask his wife for help...

Later that evening and when in a lot of pain once more he asks his wife to assist him in administration of the second suppository, she places once hand on his shoulder and with the other pushes in the suppository. As she does the patient starts swearing and cursing. "I'm sorry, did that hurt?" she asks, "No", he replies, "But I've just realised that when the doctor gave me the 1st suppository he had both hands on my shoulders!"

The pastor asked if anyone in the congregation would like to express praise for answered prayers. Suzie Smith stood and walked to the podium.
 
   She said, "I have a praise.   Two months ago, my husband, Tom, had a terrible bicycle crash and his scrotum was completely crushed. The pain was excruciating and the doctors didn't know if they could help him."
 
   You could hear a muffled gasp from the men in the congregation as they imagine the pain that poor Tom must have experienced.
 
   "Tom was unable to hold me or the children," she went on, "and every move caused him terrible pain.  We prayed as the doctors performed a delicate operation, and it turned out they were able to piece together the crushed remnants of Tom's scrotum, and wrap wire around it to hold it in place."
 
   Again, the men in the congregation cringed and squirmed uncomfortably as they imagined the horrible surgery performed on Tom.

 "Now," she announced in a quivering voice, "thank the Lord, Tom is out of the hospital and the doctors say that with time, his scrotum should recover completely."
 
   All the men sighed with unified relief. The pastor rose and tentatively asked if anyone else had something to say.
 
   A man stood up and walked slowly to the podium.
 
   He said, "I'm Tom Smith."
 
   The entire congregation held its breath.
 
   "I just want to tell my wife the word is sternum."

A psychiatrist evaluates 3 of his patients before he decides to discharge them. To do this, he draws a car on the wall and asks all three of them to push the car until it starts.

The first two promptly start pushing while the third person stands there laughing at them. The psychiatrist then asks him why he is laughing at his colleagues and he replied: "Doctor, don't mind them, I have the key to that car with me here in my pocket!"

Difference of opinion as to whether the abdominal lump of the patient is intra peritoneal or retroperitoneal during an examination. The examiner asks the candidate "Go back and examine in knee elbow position." The candidate disappears behind the screen. Concerned about the long duration of the repeat examination the examiner decides to inspect the proceedings. On the bed lay the patient in supine position. The candidate was seen palpating the abdomen while standing on his knees and elbow!

A motor mechanic was removing a cylinder head from the motor of a BMW M3
when he spotted a well-known cardiologist in his shop.

The cardiologist was there waiting for the service manager to come and take
a look at his car when the mechanic shouted across the garage, "Hey Doc,
want to take a look at this?"

 

The cardiologist, a bit surprised walked over to where the mechanic was working on the car.

The mechanic straightened up, wiped his hands on a rag and asked, "So Doc,
look at this engine. I opened its heart, took the valves out, repaired or
replaced anything damaged, and then put everything back in, and when I
finished, it worked just like new. So how is that I make £24,000 a year and
you make £1.7M when you and I are doing basically the same work?"

The cardiologist paused, leaned over, and then whispered to the
mechanic.....

"Try doing it with the engine running."

their decision to get married.
 They go for a stroll to discuss the wedding, and on the way they pass a
chemist's shop. Jack suggests they go in.

  Jack addresses the man behind the counter: "Are you the owner?"
  The pharmacist answers, "Yes."

Jack: "How about medicine for circulation?"
 Pharmacist: "All kinds "
Jack: "Medicine for rheumatism?"

Jack: "How about suppositories?"
Pharmacist: "You bet!"
Jack: "Medicine for memory problems, arthritis, and Alzheimer's?"
Pharmacist: "Yes, a large variety. The works."
Jack: "What about vitamins, sleeping pills, Geritol, antidotes for
Parkinson's disease?"

A 90 year old man visited the doctor for the routine checkup.The following week, the doctor bumped in to the man walking along the high street with a flashy woman on his arm.

"I did as you suggested",laughed the man."Get a hot mamma and be cheerful".


"NO ,NO", said the doctor horrified.I said, "you have got a heart murmur.Be careful".
