Doctors and Diagnosis
“A man goes to his doctor with terrible news.”
The man says, “Doc, I’ve had the worst week. I keep forgetting things! I can’t even remember if I’m supposed to take my medicine. My memory is just gone!”
The doctor nods, “It’s possible you have early signs of memory loss, but let’s run some tests.”
A few days later, the doctor calls him back in. “I have good news and bad news for you,” he says. “The good news is, it’s not memory loss.”
The man sighs in relief, “That’s a weight off my mind. What’s the bad news?”
The doctor replies, “You’ve actually been taking double your medication. You’re lucky to still be here!”
The man frowns, “Does this mean I should take more or less now?”
The doctor shrugs, “That’s up to you. You won’t remember this conversation anyway.”
