And no, I've not gotten into Massey yet, but I needed a checkup and since I'm in the US I just used my normal GP.

Anyway, I went to get my Chest X-Ray and they had to retake it several times because they had trouble fitting my lungs onto one. They then told me I have the largest lungs they've ever seen on a woman. And showed me to prove it. Nothing abnormal, just very large lungs, they took up almost the entire 11"x17" X-ray (and a little to far left or right and some of them would be cut off).

I just wanted to share with someone.

Anyone else have any other abnormality that gets the Docs commenting? (if you care to share)

Yes…
When we went for medicals, the doctor went on and on about how uniquely amazing the formation of blood vessels and veins within Lucy’s left eye were. He said if he ever saw her eye again he would most certainly remember it, as it really was ‘quite amazing’.
Well, one of our best friends is an optician and when we told him, he got quite excited and rushed off to get his light thing to shine in her eye.
His diagnosis…
‘It’s really quite an ordinary and unremarkable eye nothing special at all.’
I think the doctor probably says that to all the girls.:laugh

You've just handed me the cue for a joke a French friend once told me.;)

A woman had to go for a gynaecological examination. When she was in that inelegant position, feet in stirrups, all females love so much, the doctor walked round, took one look, and exclaimed, 'My goodness - I've never seen anything like it... never seen anything like it... never seen anything like it...'

Horribly embarrassed, the poor woman muttered, 'You've made your point. Don't go on and on like that.'

And the doctor said, 'I'm not. It's the echo.'

LOL! I have gynecologist stories too, but... I don't feel this is the place to share. ;)

I can relate to that - I wouldn't be sharing real ones!

OH has an extra set of ribs that showed on his x-ray - tiny ones in his neck. I told him it made him look like Lurch from the Adams Family. He was quite proud of his extra ribs when he found out.:D

My dentist said the way my teeth's roots twisted made root canal work like one of those electonic executive toys where you have to negotiate a loop of wire around a wire frame without touching the wire and setting the alarm off. And no, he never did get to the end without the buzzer going!

I have yellow eyes (The iris) . The eye doctors comment on them sometimes.
Other than that, a dietitian once told me she wished she could eat as healthily as I do.

I was being treated for a condition a few years ago (Pilonidal Sinus if anyone is interested!) and there were holding cubicles around the main consultation room, it was a teaching hospital so there were always lots of students gawping, paper thin walls etc and I heard the consultant saying this next case only ever happens in extremely hairy people and I'm sat there thinking ooh I wonder what they have got - and they all walked into my room! :uhoh

As a 21yr old girl (at the time)you can imagine my horror :wah

Just for the record I'm not hairy! :D
