The nurse stood there, arms crossed, clearly upset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDoctor, how could you say something like that? She\u2019s terrified!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The doctor finally looked up from his notes, completely calm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDid it stop her hiccups?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The nurse blinked, confused. \u201cHer\u2026 hiccups?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYes,\u201d the doctor said, nodding slightly. \u201cShe\u2019s been coming here for three days straight complaining about nonstop hiccups. Nothing worked. So I tried something\u2026 memorable.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just then, the door slowly creaked open again. Mrs. Smith peeked her head inside, still looking shaken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDoctor\u2026 are you absolutely sure?\u201d she asked nervously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The doctor smiled kindly and gestured for her to come in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMrs. Smith,\u201d he said gently, \u201cI can assure you\u2014you are not pregnant.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She paused\u2026 then let out a long breath of relief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh, thank goodness!\u201d she exclaimed, placing a hand on her chest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The nurse watched closely as Mrs. Smith suddenly stopped, her expression changing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWait a minute\u2026\u201d she said. \u201cMy hiccups are gone!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The doctor gave a small, satisfied nod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSometimes,\u201d he said, \u201ca little shock is more effective than medicine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mrs. Smith couldn\u2019t help but laugh, the tension melting away completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell, doctor,\u201d she said with a smile, \u201cnext time just give me a glass of water!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As she walked out\u2014calm, smiling, and hiccup-free\u2014the nurse shook her head, half amused and half impressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI still can\u2019t believe that worked,\u201d she muttered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The doctor simply returned to his notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMedicine isn\u2019t always about prescriptions,\u201d he said quietly. \u201cSometimes, it\u2019s about knowing how to surprise the problem away.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
