The patient is a 79-year-old widow who no longer lives with her husband.

Well, he was getting kinda gamey...

It's only a shame that there's no concrete proof of this (like Xeroxes of the actual writing of this), or else it would've been moreso amusing than it is.

The reason there's no proof is because this is one of those old chestnuts that's been passed around since pre-Internet days, when it was passed around via fax. About as fresh as a mummy.
