As a worried patient sat in the dentist’s chair, his stress could be felt. “Not at all!” Don’t use pins! “I hate needles!” he yelled, showing how scared he was.
The doctor tried to calm him down with nitrous oxide, but the patient pushed back again. “Not at all!” I can’t do the gas thing. Putting on a mask makes me feel like I can’t breathe!”
The doctor didn’t give up and asked the patient if there was anything wrong with taking a pill.
He said with a straight face, “Here’s VISA.”
Their eyes got really big in surprise. “Wow!” He said, “I didn’t know Viagra could help with pain!”
The dentist was very funny.
The patient forgot about his worry for a moment as he laughed out loud at the dentist’s funny comment. At that moment, the stress went away, and the process became a little easier to handle.
This funny conversation shows how important humor and understanding are in healthcare. A joke told at the right time can sometimes put a patient at ease and make a bad situation easier to handle.
The dentist came up with a clever answer that might not have been a traditional painkiller, but it was a nice distraction. Also, who knows? The patient may have left the office with a newfound respect for funny dental jokes.
