Dr. Smith was reviewing charts when his patient, Bob, burst into the office looking frantic. “Doctor, I need help immediately!” Bob exclaimed. “Ever since I started that new seafood diet you recommended, something terrible has been happening to me!”
Dr. Smith looked concerned and grabbed his stethoscope. “What seems to be the problem, Bob? Are you experiencing nausea? Digestive issues?”
“No, no, nothing like that,” Bob replied, wringing his hands. “It’s much worse! Every single day, without fail, I see food and I eat it! Just this morning I saw a donut – and I ate it! Then I saw a sandwich – and I ate it! Doctor, what’s wrong with me?”
Dr. Smith paused, put down his stethoscope, and chuckled. “Bob, I think there’s been a misunderstanding. When I recommended a seafood diet, I meant you should eat more fish and shellfish for the omega-3s. You seem to be following a ‘see-food’ diet instead!”
Bob sheepishly grinned. “Well, that explains why I haven’t lost any weight despite seeing so much food lately.”
