An internist AP Wong, intensivist DrRafidah, surgeon AP Shan, and a pathologist AP Hari decide to take a break from the rigours of teaching at Monash and go for a picnic at the seaside together. The next morning at Danga bay, they were sitting on the beach munching sandwiches and admiring the rising sun. A bird appeared on the horizon.
The internist watched it carefully as it came over and said, "Colleagues, notice the time of day, the colourful plumage, the distinctive quacking sound, and the web feet trailing behind."
As the bird flew out of range, he said, "Based on my observations, I would venture that we have seen a duck, but further tests may be necessary before we can make a definite conclusion."
The other doctors all looked at the internist, then at each other, and then turned their attention to the sky again.
It wasn't long before another bird appeared. They waited until it came closer and then the intensivist spoke up. "It's a swan! no, it's a goose! no, no wait! it's a duck! It can be anything but never mind, I have got all possibilities covered!"
The bird subsequently flew away.
When the next bird flew by, the surgeon without a word, stood up, took aim with his gun, and shot. Feathers, blood, and vicera exploded overhead. A sorry looking carcass fell onto the beach.
The surgeon turned to the pathologist and said, "Hey, could you run over there, get that damn thing, and tell me if it was a duck?
