PAY ATTENTION

‎​Some second year medical students were attending their anatomy class. They gathered around the dissection table with a corpse specimen. The Professor started the class by telling them the two important qualities of a Doctor.

The first quality of a good doctor is “Never be disgusted by a body. For example watch me”. He inserted a finger in the dead man's anus and put it in his mouth. “Now you have seen what I did”, continued the Professor, “I will want you to do the same. Go on, do the same”.

They hesitated a little bit, but as this was their first major test, nobody wanted to fail. Eventually when they had all inserted their fingers in the dead man's anus and tasted it, he looked at them and said to them;

“The second quality of a good doctor and the most important quality is “OBSERVATION”. I dipped my middle finger but tasted the index finger. Now learn to pay attention…

Lesson of the day: life is tough but a lot tougher when you are not paying attention.
