What Did You Say?

I have a patient right now who is quite profoundly deaf, despite the use of hearing aids in both his ears. Not being able to hear what I'm saying all the time, has resulted in some hilarious misinterpretations. Here are just a few of the things that he thought he heard me say:

Me: My name is Kamie.
Patient: Krispie? Well, that's a dumb name.

Me: Do you have any allergies?
Patient: No, I haven't seen any lawyers lately.

Me: You are working with me this week.
Patient: I'm going to be dead this week?!?

I sure did try and keep a straight face when he misheard what I was saying, but it was definitely hard. Good times.
