The silly stuff patients say
Patients don't take classes in medical terminology, but that doesn't stop some of them from trying their hand at it. Some of their adaptations can be hilarious! Credit to Dr. Jeck (or his patients) for most of the OB/GYN ones. If you have more, send them to me and I'll add them to the list.
