22 Funny and Very Relatable Tweets About Going to the Doctor

Long waits, cold rooms, pages and pages of forms to fill out – going to the doctor isn’t exactly a picnic in a park.

But I think it is one of those things that unite all of us “regular folks” – because no matter your age, gender, or where you live, we all experience various challenges when it comes to making and attending medical appointments.

I’ve rounded up the funniest, most relatable tweets I could find…hope they bring you some laughs!

#1 Exactly…

“Please pre-register for your doctor appointment online, so we can ask you the same 57 questions when you get here.”

#2 Right? And why, if you’re between two numbers, do they always round up??

I love how the first thing they do at the doctor’s office is weigh you. I was already nervous, now I’m depressed. Maybe next they can bring up something I regret from my past & really get this party started.

#3 Sounds about right…

Me: hi! I’m here for my appointment.

Doctor’s office: ok have a seat in the lobby. For like an hour. Then I’mma put you in a lil room for two hours. While you’re in the room people wearing scrubs will come in and out a few times. None of them will be the doctor. $5000 plz

#4 I can most assuredly say I have never brought a guest to my Pap smear LOL…

My doctor’s office just called to confirm my Pap smear tomorrow. They told me I’m not allowed to bring any guests. So if I had previously invited you to this incredibly invasive procedure, unfortunately I have to uninvite you. Sorry.

#5 Right? Why do men hate going to the doctor so much?

Trying to convince your kid to wear a jacket is exactly like trying to convince your husband to go to the doctor.

#6 That’s one way to get a break from your kid LOL…

My daughter wanted to play doctor's office so I turned the ac to 60° and made her wait in her room for an hour and a half

#7 Yup…

A woman could have four broken limbs and massive internal injuries due to an epic battle with fire-breathing dragons, and the first question the doctor’s office will ask is, “What is the date of your last menstrual period?”

#8 Don’t forget to remove your earrings too!

<frantically peeling off nail polish> Okay, weigh me again.

#9 So true…

I never change so fast as when I’m at the Gynecologist and I’m worried they might see me naked before they see me naked

#10 Wouldn’t that be nice?

The medical advancement I’m most looking forward to is not having to hand fill out the same 35 forms every time I see the doctor.

#11 My secret talent is calling doctor’s offices just when they are closed for lunch…

[8 AM – calling doctor's office to make an appointment]

Answering machine: Our office hours are Monday thru Thursday 9:15 AM to 4 PM. We are closed from 11 AM to 2 PM for lunch. We are closed Friday and weekends. Please leave a message.

Me: Are you…are you guys hiring?

#12 Accurate…

“Please arrive to your doctor appointment 15 minutes early so our secretary can explain why we’re running 45 minutes late.”
— Lindsay (@Rollinintheseat) October 7, 2021

#13 Exactly!

Doctor’s office: We need to reschedule your May 5 physical, next available is June 20th.

Me: Sorry, I will be out of town

Office: (irritated) Well, are there any days you ARE available?

Me: I’m free may 5th.

#14 I actually showed this tweet to my doctor and she laughed and laughed…

Hmm yes I’m fully aware that the gynecologist is about to look inside my body but I’ll continue hiding my bra and underwear under my folded jeans thank you

#15 Three kids and 22 years later, my hand-to-forehead accuracy is usually within half a degree of the thermometer…

I took my son to the doctor because he had a fever last night. Dr asked what it was and 10 fronted me out, “Oh she doesn’t know the number. She used her therMOMeter. You know? Kiss on the forehead and then she said oh, you have a fever.”

Dr. nodding his head, “Accurate.”

#16 Out of the mouths of babes…

We just waited an hour to see our pediatrician. As soon as he walked in my toddler took his hand and pointed to his watch and said “This is a clock.” Which was the most passive aggressive thing I have ever witnessed.
— Cydni Beer (@cydbeer) February 26, 2019

#17 Sounds like my dentist’s office…

Doctor's office: You're overdue for a physical.
Me: Ok.
Dr: We recommend you getting one very soon.
Me: Do I have to?
Dr: You really should get one ASAP.
Me: Ok. Fine. Schedule me for one.
Dr: The earliest appointment we have is 8 months from now.

#18 Breaking news from 2005!

I’m in a doctor’s office waiting room and there’s a People magazine on the table. I can’t believe Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston are getting a divorce.

#19 Ok, that is hilarious…
