3. – Doctor, I’m very sorry, but the patient from room 315 declares that you are not ableto perform an operation on his tumour and he demands another surgeon.

The doctor frowned and said, “That’s enough! I can’t bear his whims any more. Let him look through the list of our personnel and at their references. He can choose whoever he likes. When he is through, let me know.

“Doctor, I think you are all competent enough to treat him, and there’s no need to follow his directions. I’ll try to persuade him but I don’t promise it’ll help”.

“Mr.Bracknell, I call for your common sense. You are the most serious case we’ve ever had in our hospital, you’re on the edge of death. I must be honest, we don’t operate on such old patients. So you can’t let yourself wait. I can assure you, our operating-room hasall modern equipment, our doctors are well qualified and besides I’ll take care of you after the operation, that’s my word.”

The patient (it’s seen that he is puzzled): Well, all right, I agree.
