Doctor Bloom who was known for miraculous cures for arthritis had a waiting room full of people when a little old lady, completely bent over in half, shuffled in slowly, leaning on her cane. When her turn came, she went into the doctor's office, and, amazingly, emerged within half an hour walking completely erect with her head held high.
A woman in the waiting room who had seen all this walked up to the little old lady and said, "It's a miracle! You walked in bent in half and now you're walking erect... It's a miracle! What did that doctor do?"
"Miracle, shmiracle," said the old lady. "He gave me a longer cane!"
From stringer Doug.
Yes, that would work for some!
ReplyDeleteAh, but was she insured or on the NHS?
ReplyDeleteWe need to know.
DP, surely NHS. The doctor GAVE her a longer cane. It didn't cost her a penney.
