At a party, a doctor who was chatting with a lawyer was interrupted by a woman who insisted on telling the doctor about a pain in her leg and asking him what to do about it. The doctor advised her, then, after she went away, he asked the lawyer, “Do I have a right to send that woman a bill for my professional services?” The attorney replied, “Certainly.” The next day the doctor sent the woman a bill. He also received a bill—from the lawyer.
