Maybe you have met someone whose is really smart but they tend to have a hard time getting their ideas across or perhaps they are just a bit inept in personal situations. Well, in this case there were three doctors who were discussing the situation of their patient. He was non-responsive and just staring into space. They kept trying to speak with him but did not get any response.
One of the doctors suggested that perhaps he only understands English and suggested to the head doctor that they try speaking to him in English as all three of them had very good English. The lead doctor agreed and his opening line was simply “Hello”.
What makes this funny is the specialist who suggested they discuss this in English continued to speak Spanish with her colleagues. The patient didn’t actually respond any better to English, but it was worth a try.
