We've all been to a hospital at least a couple of times in our lives, and those visits are never, never pleasant. Not only you have to answer a bunch of very personal questions, get poked and prodded but also often endure a great deal of pain, which probably have brought you there in the first place. Nurses and doctors, knowing all this either try to ignore your whining entirely and just do their job, while others try to add some optimism to the situation by making you laugh with hospital puns, funny stories and various sorts of jokes. This list that you'll find below are real stories about the second category of hospital staff and their ingenious ways of keeping patients' spirit up.

From doctors who probably have a Ph.D. in trolling to patients who are taking it rather well and nurses spending their graveyard shifts in very nonconformist ways, the hospital turns out to be an excellent source for funny jokes. So, scroll down, say 'ahhhh' and breathe deep, because you're going to need all the oxygen that you can get for laughing at these funny things found in hospitals!

It's funny, but fake. It was a photo shoot for an insurance company. http://message.snopes.com/showthread.php?t=91277

i wish people would stop using this picture like it's a real life thing, it actually comes from a French advert

this is a picture from an advert in France about universal healthcare or something, it is obviously not a real life picture

it may just be a flesh wound, they were smart leaving the arrow in and going to the DR. the arrow itself is stopping the blood from flowing out

I used to be an average dad like you, but then I took an arrow to the shoulder.

Well, it might have been his fault if he got in the way... good luck to the kid anyway - he probably felt terrible about it.

We used to jokingly do this in gym class whenever we had archery in middle school. The idea was to place the arrow in the back and go "Don't worry, mama, they missed me!"

Reminds me of the time i walked into A&E with blood pouring from an open wound under my right eye, the lady behind the desk says "what are you here for love?" and she said it with a straight face...

So we are to assume this child managed to shoot an arrow that appears to be a fair bit longer than his own arm? I think not.

Better than the 1-10 scale where you only base it on the worst pain you've experienced. What if you haven't had much before or are worn down by having serious pain a lot? I've always found this really difficult as pain from a broken bone is a different type of pain to, say, nerve pain.
