Overheard at Work

I've been at my current job at a chiropractor's office for over a year and a half.  Before that I was a patient there for MANY years.  In all that time I've heard certain phrases over and over but until I was speaking to the coworker who is the Barry to my Jeff (our respective inner 12 yr old boys) I didn't really consider the double entendres I hear multiple times a day.  Consider with me...



Don't let me pull out/Don't let me push in. (When the doc is performing musculoskeletal and neurological tests by asking the patient to resist pressure applied to limbs to determine areas of weakness.)


Let me have you face down. (Telling the patient which way to lay on the table to be adjusted.)


That was juicy! (The doc's interjection for when a patient's joints are especially locked up and finally release during an adjustment....though locked up joints sounds like someone had their contraband confiscated.)


I want you to start working on the balls today. (We offer therapeutic exercises using big exercise balls.)


Tell me when it starts to tingle. (We also offer electro-muscle stimulation for pain reduction. The patient has to tell us when they feel things so we know how to adjust the settings for them.)



Of course just when I got my own immature sense of humor under control at the end of the night I had to go looking for the doctor.  I almost burst out laughing when he walked out of the therapy area with his shirt half off (understand he is always impeccably groomed and well-dressed and maintaining a professional demeanor...he's rolls his eyes at the crazy women in his employ and walks away when we start acting up) and giving himself therapy on his shoulder.
