Patient Hearing  

An elderly lady was explaining her problem to the doctor.

"Doctor, I am having problems with my stomach and I am a bit embarrassed by this continuous passing of wind. It is 20 to 40 times in a minute... but thankfully they do not smell or make noises....."  

"I have been sitting here with you and  have passed almost 10 times, yet no one comes to know..."  

The doctor examined her and wrote down a prescription. He asked her to visit him after a week.  

The lady was back but this time she seemed a bit worried.   "Doctor..." she said, "...my stomach has not improved one bit, instead the winds have become very smelly."  

There was satisfied smile on the doctor's face.  

"All right aunty, now that I have taken care of your sinuses, let me see what I can do about your ears."
