• Doctor: “Have you considered it might be anxiety?”
• Patient: “WTF are you talking about? Look, I’m bleeding out all over the floor here.”

Lou Gehrig and James Parkinson really dropped the ball as far as naming a disease goes. Way to make it all about you.

“Certainly! Tell me your name, please.”

“Well, I’m Dr. Hodgkins.”

"Great, so we’ll call one ‘Hodgkin’s Lymphoma’. What’s the other doctor’s name? ".

“Dr. Ottovordemgentschenfelde.”

“…OK, ‘Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma’. Done!”
