I've been going for annual physicals since I was 50 years old. My doctor was a very funny man. One day while he was in the midst of a prostate exam, he wished me a happy birthday.
There were other funny moments. When my wife was there, the doctor said something in Yiddish and then started laughing. My wife explained to him that she did not understand Yiddish and asked him to translate it. He responded by saying that he wouldn't translate the Yiddish joke and then assured her that it was very funny.
I liked that doctor very much. When he learned that I could not lower my cholesterol by modifying my diet, he said, "You're screwed!"
The doctor I have now is very kind and very polite. Instead of saying he is going to perform a prostate exam, he asks my permission to perform a prostate exam. He isn't as funny as my other doctor, but I still like him a lot.
