Aging

As we were discussing joint problems my Professor asked the class a very tricky question. "Am I elderly," he said. I am pretty sure none of us said anything loud enough for him to hear, and most of us didn't nod or shake our heads because then he said, "I can see you all mentally nodding, but you have great postural control."
This quote actually sounds sort of malicious, but it was loaded with sarcasm. "I kinda live in my own world, maybe you didn't notice but my world is pretty self serving."

boiling his bizatch

After asking about an upcoming exam my Professor responded with, "[The exam] won't be like Another Professor's questions, you know, A and B, B and C, A and C but not B... Well, I heard he was boiling my bizatch in front of the grad students so I can do it to him here, but don't tell him.... Now you're all going to tel him. No no, it'll be our little secret."
"I'm my normal discombobulated wacky professor."

pulmonary embolism

While discussing the path of a fat emboli my Professor said to the class, "Where does it go next? ...The brain? ...Impossiblé! It cannot get to the brain, it goes to the lungs and you get a pulmonary embolism!"

Broken Bones

"This is what happens when Blaire breaks her forearm- well, her name isn't really Blaire, but you'll be glad it was Blaire rather than you."

Fore the record, Blaire is a student in our class who had a broken wrist at the time. He was describing an instructional video where a girl breaks her arm. 

My Professor on Osteoarthritis

"I don't know if it's a disease or just a consequence of being born."
