A dentist, doing his first extraction on a patient, was
understandably nervous. When he got the molar out, his hand shook, he lost
his grip on the instrument, and the tooth dropped down into the patient's
throat.
Sorry, said the doctor. You're outside my specialty now.
You should see a laryngologist.
By the time the unfortunate victim got to the laryngologist, the tooth had worked it's way much further down. The laryngologist examined the man. Sorry, he said You're outside my specialty now. You should see a gastroenterologist. The gastroenterologist X-rayed the patient. Sorry, said the doctor, the tooth has traveled into your lower intestines. You should see an enterologist. The enterologist took some X rays. Sorry, the tooth isn't there. It must have gone down farther. You should see a proctologist. Our patient is now on the proctologist's examining table, in the proper elbow-knee position. The doctor has inserted a proctoscope and is looking through it. Good heavens, man ! You've got a tooth up there !
