Patient replied, “Dr.Jason.”
Hearing doctor’s name, leaving her work, nurse rushed to patient and with surprised look on her face she asked, “Sir, really? Has Dr.Jason really accepted your operation?”
Patient said, “Yes, Dr.Jason is one doing the operation.”
Nurse said, “Very strange.. I can’t believe it.”

Patient said to nurse, “May be it’s my good luck that Dr.Jason has got time to perform my operation.”
Nurse with a big smile said, “Believe me, my surprise still remains that best doctor is performing your operation.”
