"It's a little hard for young doctors to get a start."

put in your anteroom."
PATIENT--"I want to see doctor. Be this the place?"
DOCTOR--"This is where I practice."
PATIENT--"Don't want no person for to practice on me; I want a doctor
for to cure me."
FRIEND--"To what do you attribute your rapid rise in your profession?"
SURGEON--"It has been my rule all along never to perform an operation

A doctor who had a custom of cultivating the lawn and walk in front of
his home every spring engaged O'Brien to do the job. He went away for

walk is covered with gravel and dirt, and in my estimation it's a bad
job."

tells him so.
