It's not uro humor, but my cranial surgeon explained the 8th cranial nerve
resection I faced this way: "We remove the back of your skull, shove the
brain aside, reach past it, sever the nerve, put the brain back, and close
up your skull."

I said in mock shock, "Jeez; I hope you wash your hands first."

Either it was a new joke, or he hid its age well.

I.P.

The urologist at the Army hospital at Aberdeen Proving Ground in 1963
certainly had a sense of humor. They were doing mass-production Army
physicals, and at the station where he was performing the DRE, there was a
table with the usual things: K-Y, boxes of examination gloves, and boxes of
tissues. At the end of the row of things lay a rubber glove from a novelty
shop. It was a huge grayish green Frankenstein-looking thing, all hairy and
covered with warts. He didn't say anything; nobody said anything, which made
it all the more funny.

let's see peter.........   i get along great with my doc,  we both tell
jokes back on forth......

while i was on the table with the TRUS probe in my butt, i ask doc if he
would sign a note telling my wife that he didn't find my head stuck in
there........
-------  he just laughed....

after he went from one side of the prostate on fired those needles, he
moved the probe to the other side of the prostate.  i told doc that
there wasn't enough room to make a U-turn with that mack truck in my
butt - that he would have to back it up.  he laughed and said, "i'll
make room"

when i got home, i told my son of what the doc said.  my son said, "dad,
i was the one driving that mack truck"  and laughed.  i said, "son,
remember that...... when you have that probe in your butt and I'm the
one driving that mack truck this time and i'm going to make sure i make
a U-turn without ever backing up"
--------

when i had to have corrective surgery for my stricture at the bladder
neck.  it was about a two hour surgery, which he said would only be
about 20 - 30 minutes.

the drug they used on me was the type that you are not groggy when you
come to.  that is how i knew exactly how long it took because there was
a clock in front of my bed.  

there were three nurses still cleaning me up and i asked one of them
where the flowers were?  the nurse looked at me kinda funny and asked
why?  

i said, "as many times that doc has had his hands in me, i should be
getting flowers and a box of candy by now."  

and would you believe about 5 minutes later, doc arrives and ask how i
was doing.  i asked him about my flowers and candy and his answer was,
"maybe next time"   then he proceeded to tell me a joke.  can you image
telling a patient a joke after you just spent two hours operating on
him?  what can i say - great guy.

My uro was straight, starched, and very professional.  I could not imagine
telling him a joke.

My  first two urologists were nightmares for me so I cannot find anything
funny to say about urologists.  But black humour?  Try this:  the last
urologist kept a plan in  mind for eight months to do a kidney stone removal
while I had my RT, in spite of my constant pleas that it was impossible to
have such a plan.  O we can do it in the morning and you can go in the
afternoon for your RT, he would say.  Now that is funny!

PS  I changed the urologist and had the procedure done just in time.  (I was
incapacitated for a week.)  I don't know about his sense of humour yet, but
he is very kind and sympathetic and that's all I ask.

Then there was the joke about the guy who went in for a DRE.  He *assumed
the position* and the uro stepped behind him and inserted his finger.  The
patient quipped, "Doc... could you please take your hands off my shoulders?"

  While getting my DRE tell your Uro.... "you know in some countries we
would be considered married now".
