The Good Ol' Doc's table (courtesy Internet)

This woman, a 34 -year old had a fever and decides not to self-medicate. And because she is one of these ‘corporate’ ladies, she has a medical insurance policy and will take full advantage of it.

So, off she goes to a hospital, a short distance from the office where she works. After the regular heart-rate, pressure, weight readings, she was ushered in to see the doctor.
The elderly man did not look up and continued writing even as she walked in, said “Good afternoon”, and carefully sat down on a chair opposite him.
After two long minutes of illegible scribbling, the Doctor shifted his attention to her. She took this as a signal to launch into her ailments. “I have a slight fever, a pounding headache, dry lips, runny tum…”
“Stop there!”
He returned to his scribbling.
After a minute, he looked up again.
“How many children do you have?”
“Eh?”
“I asked you how many children you have. Olina abaana bameka?” It came out rather crudely.
“I have no children.”
“You have no children, eh? At your age? You are 34 years old, 34! You should have started having children when you were 24! You are a whole ten years late. What is wrong with these young women of these days, why don’t you want to have children? You think you can be young forever? You think your breasts will stay upright even when you are 70 and sitting at home all alone? Don’t you want the joy of grandchildren? Really, you really baffle me. Wanting to young forever!”
And the tirade went on and on, saliva jumping onto the sheet of paper he had been scribbling on , as she sat there looking and listening to him because of her not having children. He had not even bothered to ask the reason she was in the room.
After watching him come close to foaming at the mouth for about five minutes, she stood up. “Excuse me please.”
“No, sit down! So what is the matter with you? Now, explain your illness. What brought you here?”
“No thank you Doctor. I will go elsewhere. Actually, come to think of it, I feel much better now!”
And with that, she swished out of the room and out of the clinic to a drug shop.
