   I have a Page with comments enabled using <?php comments_template(); ?> within the Loop of my Page template. And I'd like to display the number of comments on that page, within the Page content, similar to index.php listing the number of comments on posts with
   
<?php comments_popup_link('No Comments »', '1 Comment »', '% Comments »'); ?>

   How would I accomplish this within the body of a Page?

   Did you try to put the code above in your page template?

   The codex link says it must be in the Loop to function. I placed <p>This page currently has <?php comments_popup_link('no Comments »', '1 Comment »', '% Comments »'); ?></p> in the Page template, within the Loop, but nothing appears.

   I am seeking to place this line after the first paragraph of Page content... which can't be within the Loop, right?

   This is the page I'm testing: http://www.nathangibbs.com/self-portrait/

   Use the template tag Kafkaesquí provided above.

   Oh, right... yes, that works within the Loop, thanks.

   But using the Loop, I'm limited to only the top or bottom of the page... How could I get it to display in the middle of the Page?

   You'd need a plugin that lets you run php from within post/Page content, such as:
