Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate Cancer / November 2007Who Can Pass This Test?
The Bathtub Test During a visit to the mental asylum, a visitor asked the Director how you determine whether or not a patient should be institutionalized. "Well," said the Director, "we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the patient and ask him or her to empty the bathtub." "Oh, I understand," said the visitor. "A normal person would use the bucket because it's bigger than the spoon or the teacup." "No," said the Director, (spoiler) (wait for it....) "A normal person would pull the plug. Do you want a bed near the window?" > The Bathtub Test > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > "No," said the Director, I immediately lay down in the warm water in my three-piece suit, Homburg, and wingtips, enjoyed a relaxing hot soak, pulled the plug, stepped out, and then challenged the doctor to make a decision according to his usual criterion. He began babbling and crawled into the bed by the window, muttering something about institutional rules. I.P. >> The Bathtub Test >> ...

Even then, I'd worry about the Homburg. It's a wetsuit. I lied about the Homburg and wingtips. I.P. 1st thing I thought about was unplugging the tub? really...... Sign me up for the nut house. Anyone who thought that needs the nut house. too clinincal jloomis > The Bathtub Test > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > "A normal person would pull the plug. > Do you want a bed near the window?" > The Bathtub Test Since it was a multiple choice test, and "None of the Above" wasn't included as an answer, those of you who pulled the plug had the wrong answer. >> The Bathtub Test >> > Since it was a multiple choice test, and "None of the Above" wasn't included > as an answer, those of you who pulled the plug had the wrong answer. No one said it was a multiple choice test (i.e., that our ONLY options were the spoon, cup, and bucket.) I.P. I did not see an "only" It was an "offer" We offer a .............. anyway......more trivia..... >> The Bathtub Test >> > Since it was a multiple choice test, and "None of the Above" wasn't > included as an answer, those of you who pulled the plug had the wrong > answer. > The Bathtub Test > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > "A normal person would pull the plug. > Do you want a bed near the window?"
