The young doctor was going over the files of his new patient, 88 year old Mildred.
Her longtime doctor had passed away, and this new Med school graduate had taken some of his caseload.
He was startled to see that Mildred was still receiving a monthly prescription for Birth Control pills.
Mildred came in and the doctor gave her a cursory examination.
Trying not to sound harsh or judgmental about what he considered either a mental or professional lapse on the part of the departed doctor, the New Doc said, "Well Mildred, you seem to be in fine shape. All the tests have come out perfect. I just have one question."
"Sure young man, what is it?"
"Well, Mildred. There's no reason for a woman of your, er, mature age to still be taking Birth Control pills. As a matter of fact, they could cause you problems."
"Not really, doctor, they help me sleep!"
"Well, Mildred, I might be young, but I know that there is no ingredient in Birth Control pills that will help you sleep. I'm afraid you've been wasting your money for nothing."
"Oh, son, you just don't understand. Every morning, I take out on of those pills. I carefully crush it and put it in a glass of orange juice. Then I serve that glass of orange juice to my 16 year old granddaughter. And I sleep like a baby every night!"
The New Doc stepped over to the table and wrote her out another month's prescription for Birth Control pills.
What sort of wagon are you working on? You kinda sound like brother.
