18++ 6 May 2005

A young doctor had moved out to a small community to replace a doctor
who was retiring. The older gent suggested the young one accompany him
on his rounds so the community could become used to a new doctor.

At the first house a woman complained, "I've been a little sick to my
stomach."

The older doctor said, "Well, you've probably been overdoing the fresh
fruit. Why not cut back on the amount you've been eating and see if that
does the trick?"

As they left the younger man said, "You didn't even examine that woman.
How'd you come to your diagnosis so quickly?"

"I didn't have to. You noticed I dropped my stethoscope on the floor in
there? When I bent over to pick it up, I noticed a half dozen banana
peels in the trash. That was what was probably making her sick."

"Huh," the younger doctor said, "Pretty clever. I think I'll try that at
the next house."

Arriving at the next house, they spent several minutes talking with an
elderly woman. She complained that she just didn't have the energy she
once did. "I'm feeling terribly run down lately."

"You've probably been doing too much work for the church," the younger
doctor told her. "Perhaps you should cut back a bit and see if that
helps."

As they left, the elder doc said, "Your diagnosis is almost certainly
correct, but how did you arrive at it?"

"Well, just like you at the last house, I dropped my stethoscope. When I
bent down to retrieve it, I noticed the preacher under the bed."
