The Clever Doctor Who Charged $20 but Promised $100 Back if He Failed — Where’s the Catch?

“Would you dare challenge a doctor who pays you if he fails?” 🤔 One lawyer tried three times — and each visit ended with an unexpected twist. See the witty story everyone’s laughing about in the article below 👇📖

Here’s a witty story that will definitely make you smile!

A Jewish doctor couldn’t find a job in hospitals after moving to the U.S., so he decided to open his own small private clinic. To attract patients, he placed a sign outside that read: “Treatment for $20. If I can’t cure you, I’ll give you $100 back.”

One day, an American lawyer noticed the sign and thought it would be easy money. He stepped inside, ready to trick the doctor.

First Visit
Lawyer: “Doctor, I’ve lost my sense of taste.”
Doctor: “Nurse, bring medicine from box #22. Put three drops into the patient’s mouth.”
Lawyer: “Ugh! That’s kerosene!”
Doctor: “Congratulations, your taste has returned. That will be $20.”

Frustrated, the lawyer paid, but he wasn’t ready to give up.

Second Visit
Lawyer: “I’ve lost my memory. I can’t remember anything.”
Doctor: “Nurse, bring medicine from box #22. Put three drops into the patient’s mouth.”
Lawyer: “Wait—that’s kerosene! You gave me this last time!”
Doctor: “Excellent, your memory is back. That will be $20.”

Now furious, the lawyer returned once more, determined to win.

Third Visit
Lawyer: “Doctor, I’m losing my eyesight. I can hardly see.”
Doctor: “I’m sorry, there’s no cure for that here. Please take your $100.”
(The doctor hands over a bill.)
Lawyer: “But this is only $20, not $100!”
Doctor: “Wonderful, your vision is restored. That will be $20.”

Sometimes cleverness beats cleverness—and the lawyer left every time a little poorer, while the doctor kept his promise in the most unexpected ways.

What do you think—was this doctor a genius, or just a master of wordplay?
