A particularly dim nurse (who even the rest of the nursing staff on my ward feel is a total muppet) bleeped me despite the fact I was standing right beside her!

To be fair, the reacton of all the other nurses was priceless when I calmly picked up the other telephone extension and replied to the bleep!
Me: Hi, it's the Orthopaedic house officer

Nurse: Hi, I'm down in pre-op seeing a patient. I need an echo formed signed for one of my patients.

Me: Oh, why?

Nurse: Well I listened to his heart and I think he's got an ejaculation systolic murmur.


I just couldn't say no to that, now could I? God know what she did to the bloke to pick up that sign.
Me: Hello, on-call pharmacist here.
Nurse: Oh hi, is your bleep working?
Me: No, tonight the amazing Psychic Pharmacist is on call!
"Hi, did you bleep the house officer?"
"Yes, I've got a patient on the ward who you need to come and see".
"OK, what seems to be the problem?"
"He's not been able to pass urine since he came back from theatre two hours ago"
"What operation has he had?"
"Hernia I think. There's another thing too"
"Yes?"
"He thinks that his penis looks smaller than it did this morning"
