More Medical Humor Goes Off the Charts

Need an extra dose of fun to help ease into the week? Sit back and scroll through our slides for medical puns and bloopers that will tickle your funny bone.

Theodor Geisel-or better known as Doctor Seuss-once said: “From there to here, from here to there, funny things are everywhere.”

Seuss may not have been a real doctor, but he had the right idea so we set out across the Internet one more time to find a selection of chart bloopers, doctored definitions, and other medical madness to add a little levity for you and your patients.

Enhance your clinical practice with the Patient Care newsletter, offering the latest evidence-based guidelines, diagnostic insights, and treatment strategies for primary care physicians.
