Me: "Do you smoke cigarettes?"
Patient: "No."
Me: "Did you ever smoke in the past?"
Patient: "Yeah, I quit a week ago when I was admitted to the hospital. Before that, I smoked a pack a day."
I don't get that. If a doctor asks you if you're a smoker and you only quit a few days ago, you are still a smoker. Why do people do that?
Patient: "No."

Women in medicine
Yesterday, a female resident went in to see a patient. A bit later, she returned with her male attending.
Patient (to the attending): "You're so lucky you get to bring your wife to work with you!"
Attending: [horrified] "She's not my wife!"
Patient: [winks] "Even better..."
