Patient and Doctor
As another joke during the frantic search for the golden tickets, a patient named Mr. Hofstedder attends his personal doctor complaining that he is still unable to disbelieve his night dreams. The Australian accented doctor when taking notes replies that he has told him several times before that "believing in one's dreams is a sign of insanity and the sooner you accept this the sooner you will get well." In a twist of irony Hofstedder then replies about getting a message from an angel about the location of a golden ticket in his dreams; interested the doctor asks about the message. Hofstedder having reformed from his beliefs in his dreams then reminds the doctor that he said earlier that believing in dreams is insanity but the doctor impatiently shouts "Shut up Hofstedder and tell me where the ticket is!"

Famous quotes related to patient and doctor:
“God bless the physician who warms the speculum or holds your hand and looks into your eyes. Perhaps one subtext of the health care debate is a yen to be treated like a whole person, not just an eye, an ear, a nose or a throat. A yen to be human again, on the part of patient and doctor alike.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
