A man went to the doctor with a complaint that his wife could not have children. The doctor examined the woman, took her pulse and said:
“I cannot treat you for infertility, because I see that you will still die within forty days.”
Hearing this, the woman was so upset that the piece would not go down her throat. But she did not die at the indicated time. The husband again went to the doctor, who said:
- Yes, I foresaw this. Now she can give birth.
The husband wanted to know how this happened. The doctor said:
— Your wife was too fat, and this prevented fertilization. I knew that only the fear of death could keep her from eating in moderation. But now she is healthy.
Knowledge is an extremely dangerous weapon.
