A young doctor had moved out to a small community to replace the retiring
country doctor. The older doctor 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 did you arrive at 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 a younger 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 as you did at the
last house, I dropped my stethoscope and when I bent down to retrieve it,
I noticed the preacher under the bed."
