Humor:
A woman went to her doctor's office where she was seen by a young new doctor.
After about four minutes in the examination room, the doctor told her she was pregnant.
She burst out screaming and ran down the hallway.
An older doctor stopped her and asked what the problem was. She told him her story.
After listening, he had her sit down and relax in another room. The doctor marched down the hallway to the first doctor and demanded:
"What's the matter with you? Mrs. Smith is 59 years old, has four grown children, seven grandchildren and you told her she was pregnant?!?!
The new doctor continued writing on his clipboard and without looking up said,
"Does she still have the hiccups?"
Doug also provided us with a history lesson as well (no laughing-this is serious stuff!!).:
