A young doctor moved to a small community to replace a doctor who was retiring. The older doctor suggested that the younger one accompany hiim on his rounds to introduce him to the community.
At the first house the woman complains “ I’ve been a little sick and have a sore stomach”
The older doctor says “well you’ve obviously been over doing the fresh fruit Mrs Smith, cut back on the amount you are eating and we’ll see if that does the trick.”
As they left the younger doctor said, “that was brilliant, you didn’t actually examine her but you came up with that diagnosis so quickly”
“I didn’t have to” the old man said, “you noticed I dropped my stethoscope on the floor? When I bent over to pick it up I noticed half a dozen banana skins in the rubbish, its more than likely whats making her sick”
“That’s clever” said the young doctor, “I’m going to try that”.
Arriving at the next house they chatted with a much younger, more attractive woman, She said that she just didn't have the energy she normally did and she was feeling really run down lately.
The young doctor said “You’ve probably been doing too much work for the church, maybe cut back a bit and see if that helps”.
The old doctor was impressed and said, I know that woman well and she is very active in the church and the community but how did you arrive at that diagnosis”
“I did what you did Doctor”, he said “I dropped my stethoscope and when I bent down to pick it up I noticed the minister naked under the bed”.
