Top Nine Things a Patient Never Wants to Hear during Cataract Surgery
8) Any Sound that accompanies a smell
7) The Doctor doing his Foster Brooks impression
6) The doctor's stomach growling.
5) The doctor saying, "Please, please don't make me laugh."
4) If there will be Piped-in music one song you never want to hear is "Oops, there it is!"
3) Oops! Well, at least he still has one good eye ... "Doh!"
2) Uh, Ohhh.
1) Don't worry, you'll get used to it.
Why does that ultrasonic gizmo that emulsifies the old lens hummm?

3) The patient telling Doctor jokes.

Well, what'd you expect from the fertile mind of a Master Gardener, once the seed of "you can't do that" was planted!

they don't let you drink,
they don't let you do unauthorized drugs, and
they don't let you chase the nurses ...
Ya' gotta' do something fun while waiting, and waiting, and ....
9) The Doctor yawning
What do you call an Impatient Doctor?
Name a game that Doctor's like to play:
Overheard ... Eye Surgeon to patient:

N 2007 Instructor to fledgling Ophthalmologist Interns:
N 2007 Never say this to a Valley Doctor ... even in jest ... especially a Klingon Valley Doctor:
