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."
