This is an old joke but a recent experience with a surgeon taking out a long segment of bowel worried about a tumor without mentioning a site for the tumor or a solid reason why he thought there was a tumor reminded me of how true this can sometimes can be.<\/em><\/p>

An internist, a surgeon and a pathologist decided that they were working too hard and that they should go duck hunting together.<\/p>

A couple of mornings later found them sitting in a duck blind waiting for the birds. Pretty soon a bird appeared on the horizon.<\/p>

The internist watched it carefully as it came over and said, \"Gentlemen, observe the colorful plumage, the quacking call and the web feet trailing behind.\"<\/p>

As the bird disappeared out of range, he said, \"Based on my observation, I would venture that we have seen a duck, but further tests may be necessary before we decide on a course of action.\"<\/p>

The surgeon was furious.  He told the internist, \"It looked like a duck, it quacked like a duck, it was probably a duck.\"<\/p>

The other doctors looked blankly at him, but there was a slight sneer from the surgeon.<\/p>

It wasn't long until another bird appeared. They waited until it came closer and then the surgeon leaped to his feet with his gun. He started shooting wildy.<\/p>

Feathers and pieces of feet, blood and guts and bill exploded overhead.<\/p>

A sorry looking carcass fell to the ground.  <\/p>

The surgeon turned to the pathologist and said \"Go over there and tell me if that is a duck.\"<\/p>
