Medscape Humor > Cartoon Caption Contest March Cartoon Caption Winners: You Got Rhythm!

For our March cartoon caption-writing contest, entrants found humor in an unusual situation: a doctor using an iPod as a stethoscope, with both doctor and patient grooving to music apparently emanating from the patient's heart. Entries ranged from clever double-entendres ("I hear an oldie -- 'Blowin' in the Wind' -- or is that 'Breathless' by Jerry Lee Lewis?"), to tongue-in-cheek marvels at the wonders of technology ("Having us add a ringtone to your pacemaker was a brilliant idea!"), to amusing faux diagnoses with a musical slant ("You have contracted mono and thalassemia in A minor lupus 80"). But our winning captions for March were really tough to beat...beat...beat.
