    I bet I could remark them

    One of the greatest things a doctor can tell you is if something is generally unremarkable.

    Because if it is remarkable there’s generally something there you don’t want.

      Right. Hence the entire basis of the joke.

      It sounds bad at first glance, but yes. Anything that a medical professional will consider “remarkable” is generally something you don’t want.

      Most should consider “unremarkable” as meaning “nothing out of the ordinary”, aka, they found only what they expected to find.

      Though not always. Having an extra healthy kidney would be remarkable but not really bad.

    I know it’s just the language, but my wife and I got a kick when the results of her CT scan said her reproductive organs were “grossly unremarkable”

    Imagine having one of them be remarkable. That would make an odd pait

      I once had a fling with a gal who had one B cup breast and one C cup breast… I personally found that ‘remarkable’, but I think the doctor here is more interested in skin abberations and lumps, or maybe signifcant/severe distension, lol.

    Unremarkable works both ways as a positive or negative right?

    No need to assume it’s a negative.

      In a medical context I think unremarkable is generally a good thing

        Yes, unremarkable means they don’t have anything to remark about it because it is within normal expectations.

        Yeah, you want both your medicine and your politics to be boring. Save interesting stuff for science.

          What if you combined all three?
