[QUOTE="Pazu, post: 702981, member: 679"] An internist, a psychiatrist, a surgeon, and a pathologist are all asked to evaluate the patient in room 302. The internist goes into the room first. He returns after an hour and says, "I have examined the patient, and determined that he is small, feathered, winged, with a flat bill and webbed feet. I am considering a member of the family Anatidae, with a duck being at the top of my differential diagnosis, followed by a small goose or unusual swan. Specifically, we must consider the merganser, the scaup, the mallard, etc. etc. etc..." The psychiatrist goes into the room next. She returns after three hours and says, "I feel that I have begun to make good progress with this patient. He continues to engage in quacking behavior and appears to exhibit an unusual attraction to a water-filled bathtub and stale bread. I feel that ongoing personal and group therapy, combined with appropriate psychotropic medications, may mitigate his attempts to fly... etc. etc. etc." The surgeon goes into the room next. He returns after fifteen minutes with a dead duck, hands it to the pathologist, and says, "So what is it?" -- Pazu (guess which specialty's mine :) ) [/QUOTE]
