What is the weirdest thing your doctor has ever said to you? – 17 utterly bizarre pieces of medical feedback

Going to the doctor can be a tense experience. Even if you’re only in for a routine checkup, there’s a chance they might say something you don’t want to hear.

On the other hand, it seems that doctors can say some of the most out of pocket things imaginable. And we know this because Competitive_Tip_7504 turned to r/AskReddit to pose the following question:

‘I live in Japan. After catching the flu and not eating anything for almost a week, the doctor told me that my cholesterol level was too low, and suggested I eat junk food to get it back up. I told him I was going back to the states in a few weeks, and he gave me a thumbs up and said “great!”‘

‘My optometrist at the time shut the door when he found out I am Jewish and turned off the lights to show me pictures on his computer of Mormon temples and told me that we are kin because Jews and Mormons are the same. He had me in there alone with him for ages. It was so creepy. I never saw him again. He ended up leaving my town shortly after.’

‘“I shared a picture of your kidney at a conference recently!”

‘It’s every girl’s dream to have her kidney shared at an endourology conference!

‘I have a very rare anatomical structure called a calyceal diverticulum, which is a pouch in my kidney that forms kidney stones. The stones can get stuck twice and we managed to get a picture of how my first stone got stuck right in the opening of the pouch… because I visited the ER in extreme pain three times.

‘It was a real money shot, and my endourologist is going to use it to educate students. He definitely wants to help me, but he also can barely contain his glee at my case.’
