Young Doctor Name: Karl Stadler Here's a favorite ...            A doctor was retiring and a younger doctor came in to replace him. The older doctor suggested the young one accompany him on his house call rounds so the community could become used to a new doctor. At the first house a woman complained, "I've been a little sick to my stomach."            The older doctor said, "Well, you've probably been overdoing the fresh fruit. Why not cut back on the amount you've been eating and see if that does the trick?"            As they left the younger man said, "You didn't even examine that woman. How'd you come to your diagnosis so quickly?" "I didn't have to. You noticed I dropped my stethoscope on the floor in there? When I bent over to pick it up, I noticed a half dozen banana peels in the trash. That was what was probably making her sick."            "Huh," the younger doctor said, "pretty clever. I think I'll try that at the next house."            Arriving at the next house, they spent several minutes talking with a younger woman. She complained that she just didn't have the energy she once did. "I'm feeling terribly run down lately."            "You've probably been doing too much extra work for the church." the younger doctor told her. "Perhaps you should cut back on those activities a bit and see if that helps."            As they left, the elder doc said, "Your diagnosis is almost certainly correct, but how did you arrive at it?"            "Well just like you did at the last house, I dropped my stethoscope and when I bent down to retrieve it, I noticed the preacher under the bed."
