No one likes going to the hospital. Unless it’s for the birth of a new baby, going to the hospital or the emergency room is rarely a fun experience. However, it’s also a place for healing and recovery. And to help with that? A sense of humor is always a good idea.

Here are 12 doctors, nurses, and patients that added light and laughter to our day.

Laughter is truly the best medicine.

This maternity ward is full of people with a great sense of humor. Once you enter, they want to make sure you are aware that there is going to be a lot of pushing involved. It starts at the door and only gets more intense after that.

2. Hungry Patient

This funny photo was taken outside of a children’s hospital. The smart kid was hoping to take advantage of public sympathy by inviting people to order pizza up to his room. “Send Pizza, RM 4112,” the sign reads.

3. Hospital Calendar

It includes all sorts of funny calendar pages such as “reasons to date a nurse”. The various reasons listed in the calendar are pretty ridiculous. Although, there is definitely some truth to them.

4. Tooth Fairy

This hilarious dentist decided to mix things up one day and wore a tooth fairy costume into work. His patients definitely appreciated the goofy outfit. There is no better costume that the dentist could have chosen.

5. Pirate Surprise

The patient found himself in a really unfortunate situation. He had to have his leg amputated. Luckily, the man has some awesome family members. His brother showed up in a goofy pirate costume to cheer him up.

6. Hospital T-Rex

The friendly dinosaur has a reminder for all of the patients in the waiting room. “Waiting is good,” it reads. “It means you are not going to die. The person who you need to feel sorry for is the one who gets rushed into the ER and treated first.”

7. Definition Of A Nurse

This guy’s t-shirt shows a new possible definition of what it means to be a nurse — it’s the first person you run into after doing something stupid while drunk. For example, trying to climb a really high tree and falling down, or breaking a bottle over your head.

8. Television Outage

The doctor was sick and tired of all of the patients asking why the TV in the waiting room was turned off. Instead of just turning it on, he found an even better solution — recommending an alternative healthier activity.

9. Weight Studies

No one likes getting weighed at the doctor’s office, but sometimes, a goofy sign placed in just the right place can make all the difference. This one was hung up directly above the scale.

10. Gynecologist Office Fail

It’s always nice to have a view of the outdoors when at the doctor’s office, but not when that doctor is a gynecologist. When the blinds are up at this office, the whole world can get a peek at the patients’ privates.

11. Toilet Paper Only

At first glance, the sign makes total sense. Don’t flush anything except for toilet paper in this hospital bathroom. Although, one patient discovered a flaw in the logic — what should they do with the poop?

12. Mad Scientist

This doctor has an alter ego as a mad scientist. One evening, he went to work in the lab and designed himself a new prosthetic limb. If there ever happens to be a zombie apocalypse in the future, he is now well equipped.
