醫(yī)療笑話(huà)：3、 Somebody under the bed 床底下有人

3. Somebody under the bed

Jerry went to a psychiatrist1. "Doc.," he said, "I've got trouble. Every time I get into bed, I think there's somebody under it. I'm going crazy!"

Just put yourself in my hands for one year, said the psychiatrist. "Come to me three times a week, and I'll cure2 your fears."

How much do you charge?

A hundred dollars per visit.

I'll think about it, said Jerry.

Six months later the doctor met Jerry on the street. "Why didn't you ever come to see me again?" Asked the psychiatrist.

For a hundred bucks3 a visit? The bartender4 cured me for $10.

Is that so! How?

He told me to cut the legs off the bed! Ain't nobody under there now!!!

美國(guó)波士頓郊外有一家精神病院——麥克林（McLean）詩(shī)人精神病院，屬于賓夕法尼亞州立醫(yī)院的一部分。它算不上美國(guó)最老的醫(yī)院，也不是全國(guó)最好的精神病醫(yī)院，但可以說(shuō)是美國(guó)最具貴族氣質(zhì)的詩(shī)人精神病療養(yǎng)機(jī)構(gòu)，同時(shí)也是美國(guó)最具文學(xué)特色的機(jī)構(gòu)之一。近150年來(lái)，這座精神病院不僅成為專(zhuān)治詩(shī)人精神病的地方，也成為培養(yǎng)和造就著名詩(shī)人的圣地。
