Who uses that?

Nobody. The patient misheard.

But in what field of work does H mean Age?

Edit: I don’t have how you get from Age to H

Edit 2: I got it below. I guess the redditors are here who don’t know how downvotes are supposed to work.

I feel like my previous response kinda covered that. The patient didn't hear "age" and think "oh, when he said age he obviously meant h". They thought "he said h". The word "age" never entered the patient's mind.

Can you explain the joke; I’m missing it.

Edit: I get it; you have to sound it out and speak with a bit of an accent and fast. “Age” is supposed to sound like the letter “H”.
