He was still in school, but was working in the hospital. His instructor told him to go and take the vitals of an elderly female patient. The woman was suffering from dementia, but was very compliant. When he tried to listen for bowel sounds, he couldn't hear anything. He tried several times...moved the stethoscope around, but to no avail. So he finally admitted defeat and called in his instructor. She made several attempts and also had the same result. Then the lightbulb went off and she said, "Oh, I think I know what the problem is now". Come to find out, the patients 'ta-tas' were hanging so low that they were acting as an extra layer of padding over the intestinal area he was trying to listen to.
He said it was not only the funniest thing that has ever happened, but also the most embarrassing.
Moral to the story? Anyone?

Moral to the story: No matter how old we get, always keep the "girls" lifted high!!
When I was little and bathing with my g'ma, I wondered if she had to roll them up like a cinnamon bun in order to put them in her bra.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...that's hysterical!
