Not a joke
Being asked by his patient for diet the visiting surgeon replied after a short while of thinking β You can take every thing except ladies finger ( Dhenras in Bengali ) β and walked smartly to the other ward . All the accompanying juniors were surprised with this diet advice . One of them gathered enough courage to ask the teacher about the science behind the prescription . The V S explained , β if you tell your patient to take a normal diet or just say to take every thing, the patient would never be satisfied . So , just be serious , and ask to take every thing except one ; that may be brinjal , potato or what ever food you can think at that very moment β .
Donβt Laugh!
