A few weeks ago we were having an even more busy then usual day at the clinic I work for. As I was on one phone, the other three lines were ringing and my doctor (internal med/pediatrician) was standing in my doorway with a patient who needed his ppd for work. I just so happened that I was on the phone on hold with a urologist (the doctor himself). I was hoping I would be able to get this guys ppd done before the urologist came back on the line or one of his staff members did. I was doing the usual patient teaching before I gave the shot the urologist came back on and realized what I was doing. Being the kind man he is he understood and was waiting for me to finish before he started giving me orders. I was intructing the patient on what to watch for and when to come and have it read. The patient, never having had one before, asked where I would be giving this "shot". I quickley replied, "in your foreskin"! Just then I heard the roar of laughter, from the urologist, the patient, and my doctor. I will never live this one down!
