This collection of delightful anecdotes is just what every weary doctor, medical student, and patient needs to see the lighter side of the healing art. Here's a sample: A nephew of the famous Rothschild (equally rich) once got a fish bone stuck in his throat. Terrified and unable to breathe, he managed to rasp out: Call a doctor! A physician happened to live quite nearby, and he ran to the rescue, neatly extracting the fish bone. Rothschild gave a profound sigh of relief and declared to the doctor, You have saved my life. Ask anything you desire... Smiling, the doctor said, Let's settle it this way: give me just one-tenth of what you were prepared to pay at the moment you felt you were dying.
