Anyone know of a few good tasteful jokes about med school, especially cores? or a website where I can find some?
Please and thank you!

I check this almost everyday along with a newer one by a Brown student. I seriously hope they don't stop making these anytime soon.
A Harvard Medical School study has determined that rectal thermometers are still the best way to tell a baby's temperature. Plus, it really teaches the baby who's boss.
Also a good one about an anatomy prof and fingering a corpse- try google.
At the hospital elevator...
The internist comes running up as the doors are about to close. He sticks his hand in, doors open and he gets on.
The general surgeon comes running up. Doors are about to close. She sticks her foot in the door, they open and she gets on.
Then the orthopedic surgeon comes running, doors about to close...sticks his head in and gets on.
Told to me by a general surgeon.
Many years ago? Dude, I remember exactly when that happened....and I think about almost every time I try to stop an elevator.It is standard to get yelled at for stopping an elevator with any part of your body at our hospital, at least in surgery. Some med student many years ago was decapitated by an elevator at a neighboring institution.

I only stick my hand in to stop it if I am quite sure that I have enough time to pull it back out if needed.

First-year students at Med School were receiving
their first anatomy class with a real dead human body.
They all gathered around the surgery table with the
body covered with a white sheet.
The professor started the class by telling them,
"In medicine, it is necessary to have 2 important
qualities as a doctor: The first is that you
not be disgusted by anything involving the human
body."
As an example, the Professor pulled back the
sheet, stuck his finger in the butt of the corpse,
withdrew it, and stuck his finger in his mouth.
Go ahead and do the same thing," he told his
students.
The students freaked out, hesitated for several
minutes, but eventually took
turns sticking a finger in the butt of the dead
body and sucking on it.
When everyone finished, the Professor looked at
them and told them: "The second most important
quality is observation. I stuck in my middle
finger and sucked on my index finger. Now, learn to pay
attention."

A medical student sees a female patient with a distended stomach and says "Gee I wonder what that patient has". An intern sees the same patient and says "that patient has cirrhosis", the third year resident sees the same patient and says, "that patient is pregnant". The attending sees the same patient and says "Gee, I wonder what that patient has".Anyone know of a few good tasteful jokes about med school, especially cores? or a website where I can find some?
