Told this one before, it is true.
I went into a and e with bad pains (turned out to be kidney stone)
First I was seen by a male nurse who took a blood sample. His name was Blood!!!!!
Later along came a young doctor and proceeded to examine me. I lay there in my Bridget Jones bloomers, middle age+ spread on show, and was mortified, because I recognised him as our relatively new neighbour. He was Dr Howl and I nearly did, with embarrassment and pain lol
