Just before surgery the surgeon said,
"Relax Jim. It's just a small scalpel incision. No reason to panic."
The patient replied, "But Doctor, my name is not Jim."
The surgeon answered, "I know. I'm Jim!"
That's a very good gag. Too close to the truth perhaps. I recall my first proper instruction in surgery, as a young medical student tutored by a surgeon, who wouldn't let me near the scalpel. In his words : "My First Rule of Surgery is any idiot can make a hole! The skill is in what you do next."
That was a good start to my career in 'minor' procedures.

"That reminds me of when I went in for an operation for caver's elbow and when the surgeon came to see me shortly before being anaesthetised he asked me which knee it was."
Caver's elbow is also known as olecranon bursitis, in case anyone feels the urge to Google it.
