What is the funniest thing a doctor has ever said to you?

I had a good rapport with my (now retired) General Practitioner. Once, I went to see him for food poisoning. It was campylobacter and he gave me antibiotics. They worked but I got clostridium dificil from the antibiotics and he said I had to take Vancomycin, the antibiotic of last resort.

I asked what happens if it doesn't work? "Well, Scott, then I'm going to have to take you out back and shoot you." He said it so calmly and dryly that I couldn't stop laughing.

Once I had growths on the back of my ear. I showed my doc during an annual visit. He had "baby doc" with him. She asked, "What caused the growths? Is he out in the sun too much? He answered, "No, he is never in the sun. He's had too many birthdays." She replied, "What?" I answered her, "He said I am getting old!"
