The Diagnosis
A man runs into the vet's office carrying his dog, screaming for help.
The vet rushes him back to an examination room and has him put his dog
down on the examination table. The vet examines the still, limp body
and after a few moments tells the man that his dog, regrettably, is dead.
The man is clearly agitated and not willing to accept this, and demands a
second opinion. The vet goes into the back room and comes out with a cat,
and puts the cat down next to the dog's body. The cat sniffs the body,
walks from head to tail poking and sniffing the dog's body and finally
looks at the vet and meows.
The vet looks at the man and says, "I'm sorry, but the cat thinks that
your dog is dead, too."
The man is still unwilling to accept that his dog is dead. The vet brings
in a Black Labrador. The Lab sniffs the body, walks from head to tail,
and finally looks at the vet and barks.
The vet looks at the man and says, "I'm sorry, but the lab thinks your
dog is dead, too."
The man, finally resigned to the diagnosis, thanks the vet and asks how
much he owes.
The vet answers, "$550."
"$550 to tell me my dog is dead?" exclaimed the man!
"Well," the vet replies, "I would only have charged you $50
for my initial diagnosis. The additional $600 was for the cat scan
and lab tests."
