'I'm just going to Google it': 15+ patients share the craziest things doctors have said to their faces

No one ever said your doctor couldn't also have a sense of humor. In fact, while some people might find jokes to be unwelcome in a hospital environment, others may find that in appropriate circumstances, jokes can be comforting. Perhaps the right kind of bedside manner is a personal preference at the end of the day. 

Personally speaking, I will go to any doctor's appointment with more pent-up anxiety than anyone else in the waiting room. If my doctor isn't going to crack a joke to break the ice, I most certainly will say something self-deprecating and humorous as a coping mechanism. The worst is when you tell a joke and your doctor looks at you with a blank stare. This has happened to me on several occasions, so reading the replies from this r/AskReddit thread provided some comfort for me. At least there are some doctors out there who would understand my sense of humor and who would match it.
