So that’s what it looks like

One way to keep the patients in stitches!

Go back to sleep, patient…..it’s all just a really bad dream.

Why do I see this and am reminded of Weird Al’s parody song “Like a Surgeon”? ;D

He couldn’t have done that with mine. My appendix burst. The surgeon had a heck of time cleaning out the mess it made!

Google “psychic surgery”

Comedy Magic Surgeon:

… He makes medical problems disappear

… and leaves his patients in stitches.

Gee, where was this guy when I had to have MY appendix removed? Probably would have been a painless recovery.

Hope that patient doesn’t lean back onto Bleeb!

I’m sure many pregnant women could use that trick during labor

After a near 66 year relationship, my gall bladder and I separated yesterday. The split was amicable but still the pain lingers. Our split was inevitable. It was into stones, but I preferred Beatles.

“Nuthin’ up my sleeve. Presto!” I miss Rocky and Bullwinkle.

Hey! what’s that behind your ear?

“Doctor… you… idiot… that’s… not… my… appendix… you… removed… my… pancreas… now… I’m… gonna… kill……

… N’ah, we’re just kiddin’ ya! That’s a fake appendix, made of rubber! HA… you should see your face… we got you good!”

I burned a book once. It had an inflamed appendix.

That’s nice. Now remove that sponge you left behind.

So the guy is awake?

it would be real magic if it didn’t require actual surgery!

Close to the scene with Jim Carrey as Andy Kaufman.

Regular surgery is bad enough (and I speak from experience), but this guy is just adding insult to injury.

If anyone remembers (better than I), I can’t recall if it was in reality or fiction. A “physic healer” that produced diseased organs along-side of the “patients”.(It was of course a sham, using butcher-shop meats.)

The only problem is his next trick is to return the appendix to it’s original location.

Waving back at you Bleeb! Some magician. Bleeb says the other half of the patient is hiding under the table. No one could bend like that! Or maybe he’s already been sawed in half! :)

I see Bleeb’s got his back.

“And I made your anesthesia disappear!”

Is that Bleebs buddy in the doctors pocket?

It’s nice to see Bleeb so cheerful.
