Funny Medicine

This funny medicine page is the result of me receiving several emails containing funny medical terms that I thought would make a good theme page on this site. (Maybe you'll agree.) 

It's impossible to know if someone's sense of humor is similar to yours without spending some time with them, of course, but I like to think that my humor is fairly broad and that probably you'll at least get a smile out of these definitions (below).

So, let's start off with this funny explanation of medical terms and then maybe I'll add more medical humor as it comes along.

The danger when doing something like this is that you may have heard of many of these humorous definitions before. The hope is that you will find some that you haven't seen before! (And if you have one that's not listed here - send it to me so I can add it in! You'll find a form below to do that.)

That will (hopefully) make your time spent on this page worthwhile.

Anyway, here they are. I hope you enjoy them. After all, a joke is a joke.
