It's important to keep a sense of humor in every serious industry, and that includes the medical profession. These 21 people took to Ask Reddit and shared the funniest thing a doctor ever said to them, for better or for worse. Here are 21 instances of doctors and their dad jokes. 

After a man and his wife had their child later in life, they knew it would be a "one and done" affair. So, just two days into his paternity leave began, the husband showed up to get a vasectomy. But not knowing the man's situation, the doctor decided to crack a joke as he walked into the operating room. "You've been on paternity leave for two days and you already want a vasectomy?" Nobody should hate their kid that much.

Like with that husband, context is always important when delivering medical news. That's what was missing when one doctor told a patient with a busted toe that he was going to lose it... only to reveal many seconds later that he meant the nail. "In about 3 seconds I went through the shock of losing a toe, acceptance of losing a toe, and determination to continue living without a toe," the patient wrote. 

Here are those, and 19 other funny comments people heard from their doctors.
