re: Calling MD's/Med Students

"Since there are so many med people here, I have to tell my favorite doctor joke:

Four doctors are in a boat out on the swamp, hunting ducks.

A bird flies overhead. The FP looks up, says, "body like a duck, bill like a duck, webbed feet like a duck, quacks like a duck. It's a duck", and shoots it.

A little while later a bird flies overhead. The IM resident looks up, says, "body like a duck, bill like a duck, webbed feet like a duck, quacks like a duck. It's a rare species of goose that mimics ducks", and pulls out a notebook and starts writing the paper.

A little while later a bird flies overhead. The surgeon casually blows it out of the sky, turns to the pathologist, and says, "swim out there and see if that was a duck."


I have a slightly different version of the same joke.

Surgeon, IM, FP docs go duck hunting. The first bird flies over and surgeon stands up and states "duck" and shoots and kills it. The second bird flies over and and IM doc stands up and states"rule out goose, rule out crow, rule out eagle must be a duck" and shoots and kills it. Third bird flies over FP doc stands up and unloads his gun kills the bird blows it all up and states "I have no clue what it was but by god I got it"
