After about four minutes in the examination room with a new, younger doctor, Mrs Reid burst out, screaming as she ran down the hall.

An older doctor stopped her and asked what the problem was and she told him her story. After listening, he had her sit down and relax in a room.

The older doctor marched down the hallway to where the young doctor was writing on his clipboard.

“What’s the matter with you?” the older doctor demanded. “Mrs. Reid is 62 years old, has four grown children and seven grandchildren -and you told her she was pregnant?”

The younger doctor continued writing and without looking up said, “Does she still have the hiccups?”
