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!

Because of the leaves I think it is a horrible prank on a homeless person.

That's awful... they probably had to shave her head. Someone taking her picture and probably laughing at her doesn't help either.

As others have noted, she didn't get the twigs and debris in her hair, as well as the foam down her shoulder from using it herself in her bathroom. To me, it looks like someone did this to her--probably punks looking to humiliate a homeless person. She's experienced nothing to laugh about, and obviously doesn't need her picture online for people to make fun of her.

Oh no! I had a similar experience, but all over my hands and forearms. That stuff does NOT come off. Called the company and they said it would have to be 'mechanically separated' from my skin. Or it would wear off in about 3 weeks. After it began to crack and got dirt in it, it looked like my arms were dead peeling skin. For weeks! Horrible experience

Couple or questions. Who the hell keeps expanding foam next to their mousse? What's with all the leaves and twigs? All the foam cans I've used are way bigger and have a trigger not a pump.

Expanding foam feels nothing at all like hair mouse. I could see having a small amount but as soon as you see it/touch it you should know immediately that something is not right.

Just how long did it take her to notice? Why does some of her "hair" look like leaves and branches? And why is it applied where it is applied, including her arm? There's more to this story.

Utterly tragic - what on earth will the hospital do? other than shave it off - just as they would a stray dog that had been similarly abused. Have worked with homeless and drug-addicted people , but never seen this level of "pranks"

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.
