Show EVEN THE JUDGE LAUGHED. Youthful Physician Puts One Over on Sarcastic Lawyer. During a trial in Baltimore recently recent-ly a youthful physician was summoned as a witness, and naturally in the cross-examination the opposing lawyer law-yer seized the occasion to be sarcastic. sar-castic. For a time the physician answered the attorney without showing irritation irrita-tion but his very calmness indicat ed trouble. The next question was too much for the doctor. "Are you," demanded the lawyer, "entirely familiar with the symptoms of concussion of the brain?" The young physician replied, "Yes, sir, I am." Then the smart lawyer put a hypothetical hypo-thetical case before the doctor, in this way: "If my learned friend, Mr. Reid, and myself should bang our heads together, to-gether, would we get concussion of the brain?" The young physician calmly replied, re-plied, "Mr. Reid might." |
