The distracted professor

Bela had reached the highest levels in scientific qualifications while being a dodgy clinician. He merely lived in another world wholly unbothered even by the presence of others.

He was a famous womaniser endlessly courting one young nurse after the other. He ended up courting the Sister and She managed to convince him to get a divorce.

On a busy afternoon he popped into one of the bays under his supervision and a young doctor whispered in his ears that Mr. X had just died and he should have broken the news to his wife.

The poor lady was just coming upstairs.

But Bela walked up to the wrong woman telling her ’Madam, I am awfully sorry to have to tell you that your husband has just died’ he uttered. ’What ? I have just spoken to him !’ the woman cried in protest.

In the meantime, a group young doctors desperately gestured towards him indicating he was speaking up the wrong person. He gradually realised he had made a mistake and he quickly retreated by saying ’I mean he would die’ he said, playfully poking the woman in the side with a merry expression on his face ’in case he would not take his medications !’come upstairs Vocabulary dodgy unbothered womaniser court supervision whisper utter desperate gesture retreat playful poke merry expression medication
