“I reckon
you get paid right handsome for looking
after the rich Johnson boy”, observed the cleaning woman to the doctor.
“Why, yes, I
get pretty good fees”, he replied somewhat amused.
“Why do you
ask?”
“I just hope
you wont forget that it was my boy who threw the brick that hi him”.

My patient
dies only ……………………………..
A physician
was talking over some of his cases with a layman friend. A bit maliciously the
friend remarked, Say doctor, I hear that man you treated for a liver ailment died of a heart attack.”
Outraged at
this slur against his professional skill, the doctor shouted, “see here, my
good man, when I treat someone for liver trouble, he dies of liver trouble”.

Foolish advice
!
A patient
going to a doctor for his first visit was asked ,
“And whom
did you consult before coming to me?”
“Only one
village druggist” was the answer.
“And what
sort o foolish advice did the numbskull give you?”, said the doctor, his tone
and manner denoting contempt for the advice of the layman.
“Oh”,
replied his patient , with no malice aforethought ,”he told me to come and see
you”.

Kreplach fear
A Jewish
mother was much distressed over the problem of her young son who was afraid to
eat the popular dish known as kreplach. She took the boy to a psychiatrist for
consultation After hearing the case , the doctor said,
“Now ,
Madam, It is very simple. Take the boy home, take him out in the kitchen, and
show him the ingredients that go into the dish. And then, show him how the kreplach
is mad. This should probably eliminate the condition.
Hopefully the
mother followed his advice. On the kitchen table she put out a small square of
dough beside which was a small mound of prepared chopped meat..
Now, she
said, there is nothing here you should
mind.
The lad
beamed and nodded encouragingly.
The mother
then put the meat in the center of the dough and folded over one corner. The boy
smiled and all seemed to be going well.
She folded over the second corner and
the third. The boy was nodding and the experiment seemed to be progressing most favourably. Then she folded over the fourth and final
corner; whereupon the boy groaned and muttered , “Oi,Kreplach!”.
