Nervous Patient

[Rondy]

A patient about to go in for surgery at a small hospital was very nervous. Noticing his concern, the head surgeon traipsed up to him and said, "Don't worry, in all of my experience as a surgeon, only one other patient has died."

"Really?" the patient replied, already beginning to feel a little reassured. "How many other patients have you had?"

"You're my second," the surgeon replied.
