He had a fee of $50, no matter what ailment.
If he failed in finding a cure, he would give $500 to the patient.
One day, a man came to him and said, “Doctor, my sense of taste is deteriorating.”
The doctor gave him a jar and said, “Have a spoonful of this.”
The man tries some, spits it out, and says, “This is shaving foam! Why would you give this to a patient?!”
The doctor said, “Well, it seems your sense of taste is just fine. That’ll be $50.”
Two weeks later, the same man went to the doctor and said, “Doctor, I think I have Alzheimer’s.”
On hearing this, the doctor gave him a jar and said, “Have a spoonful of this.”
The man got annoyed and asked, “Wait, isn’t this shaving foam?”
The doctor said, “It seems you can remember things just fine. That’ll be $50.”
Two months later, the man once again went to the doctor and said, “Doctor, you must help me. I lost my eyesight.”
The doctor said, “Oh dear, I’m afraid I don’t have a cure for that. Here’s $500.”
The man was overjoyed on finally outsmarting the doctor. But when he saw the money, he blurted out, “Isn’t this $5?!”
The doctor remarked, “It seems you can see just fine. That’ll be $50.”
