A womans yearly exam

[Yaps]

Woman's Yearly Exam

I went to the doctor for my yearly physical. The nurse
Starts with certain basics.

How much do you weigh?" she asks.
"115," I say. The nurse puts me on the scale. It turns out
My weight is 170.

The nurse asks, "Your height?" "5 foot 8," I say.
The nurse checks and sees that I only measure 5' 4".

She then takes my blood pressure and tells me it is very
High. "Of course it's high!" I scream, "When I came in here
I was tall and slender! Now I'm short and fat!"

She put me on Prozac...

What I want to know is why is the scale at the doctor's office always wrong? My scale at home is correct, I am sure. I think he needs to get his scale fixed so he can keep accurate records.

Of course I weigh more at the doctor's office. I'm usually holding my purse, car keys, and wearing my shoes when they weigh me!
How accurate can that be!
I'm thinking they should knock off at least 10 pounds . . .

I love Janice! She's my cardio's nurse. She ALWAYS makes adjustments for clothing. I always wear jeans because she's pretty generous knocking off weight for jeans!
