Finally, he gets a new MD who starts teaching him how to function better in the outside world. After six months, the patient goes before the hospital board to petition for release. The panel of doctors asks him several questions. Pointing to his leg joint, one doctor says, "What's this?" The guy says, "That's my knee." Pointing to his arm joint, another doctor says, "And this?" The guy says, "That's my elbow." Pointing to an area on his left chest, the third doctor says, "OK, what's THIS?" The guy rolls his eyes and says, "That's my heart, of course." The doctors look at one another and shrug. The head of the panel stamps the guy's papers for release. "Just one last question, please. How did you learn all this in just six months?" The guy taps his forehead and says, "Kidneys, man, kidneys." Oy, this sounds like an old joke; once there was a fellow who was institutionalized for years.
