1现在干医生这一行非常简单，大约只需两个礼拜就能学会。
下面就是医生怎么看病的。
2病人走进诊室，对医生说：
“医生，我痛死了！
”医生问：
“哪里痛？
”“这里。
”医生说：
“站起来，把胳膊举过头。
”随后，医生走到病人背后，在他的后背猛击了一下。
医生问：
“感觉到痛了吗？
”病人答道：
“感觉到了。
”医生又突然转过来，在他心脏下方来了一记左钩拳。
病人倒在沙发上，瘫作一团，医生却恶狠狠地问：
“这样痛不痛？
起来。
”医生边说边从一数到十。
病人就站了起来。
医生仔细地观察着他，一言不发。
然后突然在他的腹部捶了一拳，使他痛得弯下身去，说不出话来。
医生则走到窗户边，读了一会晨报。
没一会儿，他转过身来，不像是对病人说话，更像自言自语：
“哦，是轻度中耳炎。
”“是这样吗？
”病人问道，感到无比恐惧。
“医生，我该怎么做呢？
“你要保持安静；
你必须躺在床上，保持安静。
”当然，其实呢，医生根本不知道病人的问题出在哪儿，但他明白，只要病人愿意躺在床上并保持安静，而且是非常的安静，那他要么在不知不觉中康复，要么就会静悄悄地死去。
同时，如果医生每天早上都去走访病人，揍他一顿，就能让他乖乖听话，或许还能迫使他承认自己得了什么病。
3病人完全被吓住了，问道：
“医生，饮食方面要注意什么？
”
4对这个问题有多种回答，这取决于医生当时的情绪，以及距他自己上次吃饭的时间。
如果在接近中午时，医生已经很饿了，他便会说：
“哦，别害怕，多吃点；
肉、蔬菜、淀粉、胶水、水泥，想吃啥就吃啥。
”但如果他刚刚吃过午饭，嘴里还喷着一股浓浓的黑果派的味道，他就会语气坚决地说：
“不，别吃任何东西，一口都不能吃；
这对你没有坏处，因为在饮食方面稍加克制是世界上最美好的事。
5病人问：
“那喝酒呢？
”同样，医生的答案也会有很多种。
他可能会说：
“噢，可以，偶尔来一杯陈啤，或者你喜欢的话，喝一杯加苏打水的杜松子酒，或者威士忌。
我想，在睡觉之前我更喜欢来一杯苏格兰热巧克力威士忌，再加上几块方糖和几片柠檬。
”医生讲到这些的时候非常兴奋，眼睛闪闪发光，充满了对自己职业由衷的热爱。
但是如果医生前一晚参加了一伙医生朋友的聚会，他就会禁止病人碰任何形式的酒精，并且严厉地拒谈这一话题。
6当然，这种治疗本身太容易令人起疑，因而无法激起病人应有的信心。
但是如今有化验室可以帮助做到这一点。
无论病人得了什么病，医生都会坚持从他身上切割下这样或那样零零碎碎的东西，然后神神秘秘地送去化验。
比如，医生会剪掉病人的一缕头发并做上标记：
“史密斯先生的头发，2001年10月”。
然后，医生切掉病人耳朵的下部，用纸包起来并做上标记：
“史密斯先生的部分耳朵，2001年10月”。
医生从上到下仔细打量病人，手里拿着剪刀，只要看到任何疑似跟病情有关的地方，就会从病人身上剪去，并包起来。
奇怪的是，这种做法却令病人觉得自己很受重视，因而值得为此花钱。
当天稍晚的时候，包扎着绷带的病人对大为惊叹的朋友们说：
“是的，医生认为可能是轻度中耳炎，他已经将我的耳朵送到纽约，把阑尾送到巴尔的摩，把一缕头发送到所有医学杂志的编辑手上，同时我必须保持安静，每半小时顶多喝一杯加柠檬的苏格兰热巧克力威士忌。
”说着，他虚弱地向后靠在垫子上，舒舒服服，心满意足。
7然而，这一切难道还不滑稽吗？
8虽然你、我和其他人对这些都很清楚，但是一旦我们有点小病小痛，还是会飞快地打车去看医生。
是的，我个人甚至还更愿意坐带鸣笛的救护车去，因为这让人感觉更加安心。
