G.P.

During our Medical bedside tute today...

Our tutor (who is also the Clinical Dean) went to talk to a patient whom we can take a history and perform a cardiac examination from while we were waiting outside of the room. Then he took us in to meet the patient.

Patient: So, you want me to be a G.P. eh?

Tutor: G.P.? Oh are you going to be a General Practitioner?

At the same time I was wondering whether did he get the message across that we were the ones going to examine him...just then...

Patient: No no no, a G.P.

Tutor: General Practitioner?

Patient: Guinea Pig.
