Burned Out Midwife
A nurse midwife had become fed up with malpractice insurance and was on the verge of being burned out. Hoping to try another career where skillful hands would be beneficial, he decided to change careers and become a mechanic. He found out from the local technical college what was involved, signed up for evening classes, attended diligently, and learned all he could.
When the time for the practical exam approached, the midwife prepared carefully for weeks, and completed the exam with tremendous skill. When the results came back, he was surprised to find that he had obtained a score of 150%. Fearing an error, he called the instructor, saying "I don't want to appear ungrateful for such an outstanding result, but I wondered if there had been an error which needed adjusting."
The instructor said, "During the exam, you took the engine apart perfectly, which was worth 50% of the total mark. You put the engine back together again perfectly, which is also worth 50% of the mark." The instructor went on to say, " I gave you an extra 50% because you did all of it through the muffler."

Too Sick...
At a Primary Care Clinic in Texas, an older woman found one reason or another to visit daily. She had few friends and liked to chat with the Doctors and Nurses.
They in turn treated all of her medical complaints with seeming concern and compassion.
Showing up one afternoon, after being absent for over a week, a Nurse asked her why she hadn't been there in so long.
The lady responded, "I've been sick all week."
