Patients Tell the Wildest Lies, and Doctors Can’t Stop Laughing

isobizz , Magnific (not the actual photo) Report

Toddlers aren’t great liars, and this 2-year-old proved it. When asked about a missing bead, the kid swore up and down they didn’t put it in their nose. Spoiler: The bead was definitely in their nose. After the great nose extraction, the kid blamed the whole thing on Bluey. Classic toddler defense.

    Someone claimed they quit smoking this morning. Turns out, their cigarette breath said a very different thing. Quitting smoking and telling the truth apparently don’t always happen at the same time.

    Surgery season’s number one worst lie: “I didn’t eat before surgery.” Surgeons get mad because they find out later people totally did—and have to cancel everything. Eating before surgery? Big no-no, and no magic to fix that.
