Advice By Telephone

Patients Husband, "is that Dr Smith speaking?"

Doctor, "Yes."

Patients Husband, "my wife is very ill. She seems to be run down. What would you advise me to do for her?"

At this point the telephone operator cut off the Doctor and connected the husband to a locomotive engineer who was giving instructions to an engine driver.

Locomotive Engineer, "draw off her water and give her time to cool. Take off her jacket and feel her bottom. Blow her flue and get her hot again. Then try her with a bit of grease and a 9-inch rod. Keeping her in good time, soak it in her a few times to loosen her nuts until she blows off. Then try her backwards and if she is no better let some other chap have a go at her."

Patients Husband:

"Thank you, Doctor."
