A patient complained to his doctor:
– It seems to me, doc, that I will die soon… I feel terrible pain wherever I touch anything on my body.
After examining the patient, the doctor replied:
– Of course you do. Your finger is broken.
The Lesson
- Every so often we feel as if we’re about to die when the simple truth is that merely our finger is broken.
