Also from businessballs.com, here are some Air Traffic Controller quotes:

"TWA 2341, for noise abatement turn right 45 Degrees."
"Centre, we are at 35,000 feet. How much noise can we make up here?"
"Sir, have you ever heard the noise a 747 makes when it hits a 727?"

A DC-10 had come in a little hot and thus had an exceedingly long roll out after touching down. San Jose Tower noted: "American 751, make a hard right turn at the end of the runway, if you are able. If you are not able, take the Guadalupe exit off Highway 101, make a right at the lights and return to the airport."

I don't know if qualifies as medical, but that reminds me of the "Things written on actual accident claim forms" I heard eons ago:

I had been driving for forty years when I fell asleep at the wheel
The accident was caused by me waving to the man I hit yesterday
Coming home, I drove into the wrong house and collided with a tree I haven't got
The guy was all over the road. I had to swerve a number of times before I hit him.

There are more on businessballs.com. Here are a few:

I pulled into a lay-by with smoke coming from under the hood. I realised the car was on fire so took my dog and smothered it with a blanket.
I didn't think the speed limit applied after midnight
The car in front hit the pedestrian but he got up so I hit him again
I was on my way to the doctor with rear end trouble when my universal joint gave way causing me to have an accident

Reading this on a Monday, this also makes for a nice chuckle. I love the play on words! Nice find. I don't have any to share, really, but I can appreciate this.

A woman walked up to a little old man rocking in a chair on his porch. "I couldn't help noticing how happy you look," she said. "What's your secret for a long happy life?"
"I smoke three packs of cigarettes a day," he said. "I also drink a case of whiskey a week, eat fatty foods, and never exercise."
"That's amazing," the woman said. "How old are you?"
"Twenty-six," he said.

And......

A collection of documentation statements actually found on patient's charts during a recent review of medical records:
