"House Calls"
A young man had completed medical school. He went
back home to the small town to work with his father.
They went out the first day to make house calls. As
they went in the first house the father said, "Now you
watch me so you will know what to do."
Inside a woman was in the bed and she looked terrible.
The old doctor checked her out. He was making notes
when he dropped his pen to the floor. He picked it up
and told the woman that she need to quit cleaning and
working so hard in her house, she just needed rest.
When they got outside the son asked how he knew
she was cleaning to much. The old doctor said when
he dropped his pen that the floor was so clean, there
wasn't a speck of dust anywhere.
When they arrived at the next house, the father told his
son it was his turn to play doctor. At this house too, the
woman was in bed, looking terrible. The young doctor
took her blood pressure and pulse, asked a few questions,
made some notes. Then he dropped his pen and reached
down to pick it up. Then he told the woman she was doing
too much church work and needed to cut down on what
she did.
When the doctors got outside the old doctor asked the
young one how he knew she was doing to much church
work, The young one said, "When I bent down to pick up
my pen, I saw the preacher under the bed."
