There was an old man in the hospital who was dying.

The family was called to the hospital for the final hours.

The  family doctor was called to examine the old gentleman and give him his prognosis.

Not one member of the family was willing to tell the old  gentleman that he had only a short while to live, but they did ask if he had a final request.

In a whisper the old fellow answered, "Yes, get me another  doctor."
