Fun quotes from the past week

Pulmonary lecturer: "If there's blood in the pleural space, obviously the lung can't expand there. Two bodies cannot occupy the same space at the same time...though, of course, it's fun to try."

Renal lecturer: "So if this woman has 6 liters of extra fluid on board but she doesn't have pitting edema, where did she put it?"
Student: "I don't know, in her hump?" (full disclosure, it was me.)
Professor: "What?"
Other student: "She's a camel!"

Other renal lecturer: "And if you had to guess which diuretic Peter Griffin from Family Guy is on, you would guess spironolactone. Because of the gynecomastia." (For those playing the home game, gynecomastia is when men develop hypertrophic breast tissue; in layman's terms, man-boobs).
