Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar Posted May 22, 2002 Salaan... The following quotation is reputed to be the transcript of an actual courtroom cross-examination of a doctor on the witness stand by a defense attorney. Lawyer: "Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse?" Doctor: "No." Lawyer: "Did you check for blood pressure?" Doctor: "No." Lawyer: "Did you check for breathing?" Doctor: "No." Lawyer: "So, then it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy?" Doctor: "No." Lawyer: "How can you be so sure?" Doctor: "Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar." Lawyer: "But, could the patient have still being alive nevertheless?" Doctor: "Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive and practising law somewhere." _________________ Macsalaama!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
