Look, we know why you are here. You are either working a 12 hour shift, dating a med student who hasn’t slept in three days, or you just have a really weird way of expressing affection. Standard chocolates are boring, and flowers die. But a joke about an organ failure? That stays with you forever.
If you are trying to woo someone who wears scrubs for a living, regular romance won’t cut it. You need something sterile, slightly clinical, and deeply concerning. We have compiled a list of puns that are guaranteed to raise a pulse or flatline the conversation entirely. If you think these are gross, you should see ourFrog Love Puns. They are slimy, but at least they don’t charge a copay.
Romance is basically just a series of chemical reactions that make you do stupid things. Sort of like mixing the wrong medications. These puns are perfect for the general practitioner in your life who is tired of people asking them to look at a weird rash at a dinner party. Before you read these, maybe check your vitals. If you need more workplace humor after this, check out our Funny Jokes for Nurses.

Anatomy Puns That Touch a Nerve
The human body is a miracle. It is also full of weird fluids and squishy parts that make funny noises. If you can’t joke about your internal organs, what can you joke about?

Nurses run the hospital. They also run on caffeine and sheer rage. If you are a nurse, or you love one, you know that silence is the scariest sound on the ward.

Code Blue on The Cringe Scale
We have reached the end of this sterile corridor. If you actually used any of these lines on a real human being, we legally cannot be held responsible for the rejection that followed. Medical love is tough; it’s long hours, bad coffee, and bodily fluids. But if you found someone who laughs at a kidney stone joke, lock that down immediately.
Rating of Regret: 9/10 Malpractice Suits.

The Rounds of Questions
We know you have questions. We also know you probably WebMD’d them already and think you are dying. Here are some answers that require no insurance.
Can I use these puns on a real doctor?
You can, but they have heard them all. If you say “I’ve got a bone to pick,” they will likely ask for an X-ray. Proceed with caution.
Are medical puns considered romantic?
Only to people who understand Latin terms for body parts. To everyone else, they are just vaguely threatening.
What is the best pun for a cardiologist?
Tell them “Aorta know better than to fall for you.” If they don’t laugh, check their pulse.
Do nurses actually like these jokes?
Nurses like coffee, silence, and comfortable shoes. Jokes are a distant fourth, but they might pity laugh if you bring donuts.
The Person To Blame
Umer | Chief Regret Officer
Umer is the founder of PunSpill and a certified disappointment to his high school guidance counselor. He spends his days writing puns that make people groan and his nights arguing with Gerald, his emotional support opossum (and Head of HR).
He created this website because his friends muted him in the group chat. If you hated this article, please direct your complaints to the opossum; he handles the shredding.
I'm Umer. He's Gerald. I write the bad jokes; he handles the complaints (by sleeping). We created PunSpill so you have something to send your friends to annoy them. Read the full confession here.
