Show A Fort Dodge doctor, Dr. X., once had a grave " dug for a patient, supposed to be dying, who afterward af-terward recovered, and over this error of judgment the doctor was joked for many years. Once he attended, in consultation with three confreres, another patient. This patient really died. After the death, as the physicians discussed discuss-ed the case together, one of them said: "Since quick burial is necessary, we might inter in-ter the body temporarily. I understand our brother broth-er here has a vacant grave on hand." Dr. X. smiled. "Yes," he said, "I believe I am the only physician physi-cian present whose graves are not all filled." |
