I have blood tests done every couple of months, and my doctor refills a medication prescription based on the results of said tests. My test was last week, and my doctor's appointment was yesterday (EDIT: Wednesday).
My doctor told me I'm pregnant. When I made a noise I can only explain as a cross between "what?!" and a cough, he nonchalantly said "nah, I'm just getting ahead of the April Fools game. Results look good, I'll write you another 'scrip."
Terrifying, but hilarious.

How did I donate $50 without knowing?
My brother got one...we were just as surprised. I think it's a sort of default they collect...? I dunno, we thought it might be an engineering thing, but really no idea.

I don't think pregnant jokes are funny at all. I'm usually very childish on MI but damn, I am being 101% serious about this.
Any jokes about pregnancy is not funny.

I feel violated.
I don't remember agreeing to this donation. They would have got away with it if they didn't send me a thank you note just to taunt me.
$50 is a week grocery darn it!

I was terrified, then a little irritated, then I thought it was funny. He's been my doctor for a really long time and he plays golf with my Dad, so I see him pretty often. I think he assumes he knows me well enough to know I wouldn't throw a fit.
He said "I never get to play April Fools' jokes at work without the risk of a lawsuit, so when I saw that you were in today I thought, 'here's my chance!'"

He's peculiar, but awesome.
I think some sort of blood disorder would be more appropriate. I mean if I was a doctor, I would love to tell everyone that they have cancer, just so that they can "beat" it.

That one wouldn't have gone over so well because I've had it before. I would have been genuinely livid, haha.

Would I understand this better if I ever stayed in the Chat for longer than half a second?

Haha aww Dr Quinn <3 Last year he dyed his hair green. Not for April Fools, but as an incentive to get our class to donate money to a charity.. we got to choose the colour. It was neat.
Why can't 2nd year profs be this awesome??
edit: minus capretta who is also awesome.
