Show Joke on Dr. Lorenz. , One of Dr. Lorenz's compatriots chuckles every time he tells this an-ecQote, an-ecQote, which is tpld as an actual occurrence oc-currence 'in the great surgeon's ca-. ca-. reer : . "The doctor was always very, charitable chari-table and treated a great many people gratuitously. Among them was a poor little girl in whose case he was deeply interested." One morning Dr. Lorenz happened to ' meet her mother, and was surprised to' hear that his patient had died a few days before. "Why didn't you send for me when the change came?" he asked. "We were going to do so,' sir, but we thought it better to let the dear child die a natural death," was the tearful answer. |
