A stingy man has just moved to a new town, when he suddenly feels ill. He walks into a nearby doctor's office, signs his name to the waiting list, and sits down waiting to be examined. He decides to find out a little about the doctor and asks the man sitting next to him if the doctor is a specialist. If so, of what. The man replies that the doctor specializes in everything. Our man thinks about this and is anxious. He asks the other man if the doctor's fees are expensive. He replies, "Well, he is, and he isn't. See? He charges you one thousand dollars for your first visit." The man panics, "A thousand dollars?" "Yes, but all visits after that for the rest of your life are free!" Our man thinks about this. By the time the nurse calls his name to see the doctor, he has come up with a plan. The nurse takes him to an examining room, and tells him to undress, putting on an exam gown. When the doctor comes in, our man casually says, "Hi, Doc. Here I am again!" The doctor puts a stethoscope on the man’s chest, and listens a split second. He then tells our man, "You’re doing fine. Continue all instructions I gave you the last visit." The doctor then turns and walks out.
