Dentist bending over patient, "That's a big cavity, a big cavity."
Patient, "Why did you say it twice?"
Dentist, "I didn't that was the echo!"

Do we have a smiley for Boom-tish?

perhaps?

Podiatry doesn't have much of a track record
as the subject of TV dramas.

It would be fun to have the characters arguing
about whether they are truly chiropodists.

Do Chiropracters and Chiropodists ever get confused?
"My God! he's got a severe pain in his spine!"
"Stand back, I'm going to play about with his bunions."

Robyn: Our physio made me bend my baby's neck every nappy change while he cried for six months, and I adored her - it worked you see. He had torticollis (frozen neck - couldn't move his head to one side). So.

Lovely outcome in real life! That sounds like a great plot line. They'd probably have to film the baby above the waist, though.

What about urology?

Pople in dramas rarely need to visit the toilet unless it's a vital device to remove someone from the scene, or provide an opportunity for a private conversation.

Don't confuse Urologists with Neurologists...
"Could you give me a sample in this container please?"
"From here?!"
"Are you taking the p..."

Glad it helped Sol! They are a pretty knowledgeable bunch...

Neurology and urology sound very similar on the phone, so often the on call neurologist finds that he or she is rung by a GP about someone who has problems peeing.

Trichologists.

I don't think they even got a look in on Kojak.

>> Kojak <<

Good Lord! There's a really obscure reference
to early Canadian television. God bless ye and
yer pink git-fiddle for the memories.

Oh wait, you said Kojak not Wojeck.

Phlebotomy. Though there could be hearing issues with this one as well.

Dean Martin, apparently once, woozily, said "I'd rather have a full bottle in front of me than a full frontal lobotomy"
