While going to the doctor can be a stressful thing, there are doctors who try and put their patients at ease to reduce the stress a little. These doctors use humor to make the atmosphere of their clinic a little more welcoming and less intimidating. Besides for the fact that going to the doctor is stressful for patients, doctors have a high-stress job themselves. Keeping patients calm and happy eases the uncomfortable process for everyone, really. So, without further ado, here are hilarious doctors who chose to use a little humor to improve their jobs a bit.
Operation
What better way to pass the time of a two-year-old patient in a hospital than a medical-related game? This sweet doctor even dressed up her Dora the Explorer doll so she could participate as well.

PUSH
What can we say? The whole hospital apparently decided to make light of a stressful situation. And they did so beautifully.

The Fertility Clinic
A trip to the fertility clinic is a rather stressful and sensitive event, with emotions running high. So this extra design in the bathroom surely improves the mood of the place significantly.

Do You Remember?
While getting a colonoscopy is a less-than-enjoyable situation, this sure is a fun way of reminding patients who are in need of one.

The Antibiotics Craze
As far as pop culture references go, this one is pretty good if we do say so. Being sick as frustrating as it is, so this little reminder that not every cold needs antibiotics is just right to cheer a patient up.

The Tooth Fairy
The picture pretty much speaks for itself, but we must say, his patients must have been seriously entertained when they walked in for their appointments that day.

A Hip Is Forever
Who says that getting your hip replaced means it’s gone forever? This man here wanted to keep his original hip after he got a hip replacement surgery, so his doctor made it into a walking cane for him. Talk about multi-purpose.

A Stool Sample
Gotta love someone with a good sense of humor. A patient seems to have given a new meaning to the medical term ‘stool sample’ by putting a literal small stool in the cup he was meant to use.

The Pen
You know your OBGYN knows what they’re doing when they have a pen that has an egg with sperm in it. Naturally, a doctor with a sense of humor is the best kind of doctor.

A Dentist Plus One
Nothing is better than waking up from a dental surgery and finding this image online. The story behind this image is a man had his wisdom teeth removed. Here we can see his coworker, who drove him to the surgery, standing over him with a pair of pliers.

Doctor Who?
It truly is a wonderful thing when a geek becomes a doctor and decided to decorate their office with Doctor Who merchandise. On the walls are two posters featuring the TARDIS from the show, with one of them reading ‘Keep calm I’m the Doctor’. A rather nice touch is the smaller Dalek image reading ‘You will obey and wash your hands’. And of course, the TARDIS box near it.

Enjoy Your Nuts
This doctor performs vasectomies and found the perfect way to send his patients home after a treatment. He discovered a brand of goodies named “My Husband’s Nuts” and he sends each patient home with a bag of them.

Get Off The Internet
The internet is a wonderful and useful tool, but that doesn’t mean people can diagnose themselves using medical websites. If you don’t feel well, just go to your doctor.

Why We Hate The Dentist

We can’t argue with that logic, going to the dentist truly is less painful than an episode of Jersey Shore.

Punny Dentist
We like to think that everyone loves a good pun, and this sure is a great one. Going to the dentist sure is better when they have a good sense of humor.

A Very Important Questionnaire
After a visit to the doctor, at times they want to get some feedback on your experience. Here we have a questionnaire, with a very important question at the bottom: “If you had a male resident, please rate the appearance of his mustache.” It gives the option to score the mustache in numbers ranging from zero (absent), then one (scary) all the way to ten (inspiring). As a conclusion, it asks for comments on the quality of the resident’s mustache. So, essentially, they’ve got their priorities straight.

A Festive Exam
Visits to the Ob-GYN’s office can be stressful, but this office is ready to get festive for the holidays. While the sight of a speculum would normally make women cringe, here they turned it into Rudolph to make things a little more fun.

The Totally Real Doctor’s Note
Okay, it’s still unsure whether this note is real or not, but we’re just gonna assume that it is for the time being. Essentially, it’s a certification that the patient is receiving medical treatment for back pain. What the doctor recommends is “He WILL BE UNFIT TO CONTINUE his USUAL OCCUPATION or SEXUAL services. Shaun can only take part in sexual activity flat on his back with minimal effort on his part.” It’s a bit too specific to look like a real recommendation from the doctor, but so be it.

Open Wide
To ease tension felt when going to the dentist, this one decided he’ll wear masks with cartoon faces on them to amuse patients. It is a fantastic idea, let’s be honest.

A Reminder
The most reassuring sound to hear when going under anesthesia is hearing your doctor laughing to himself, right?

Where’s Waldo?
Nothing better to keep you entertained when at the dentist than a ‘Where’s Waldo’ game on the ceiling. You’ll probably still be occupied by the game when your treatment is over.
