Chelm’s First Medical Student

Chaim Yankel, a resident of Chelm, made his neighbors proud by being the first member of his town to be accepted into medical school.

While making rounds, a doctor points out an X-ray to a group of the medical students.

"As you can see," he says, "the patient limps because his left fibula and tibia are radically arched. Chaim Yankel, what would you do in a case like this?"

"Well," ponders Chaim Yankel, "I suppose I'd limp too."
