Birth Control​

Dr. Myers has been looking after one of his patients, 80-year-old Freda Crane, for most of her life. But he now retires and passes all his patients over to the newly qualified Dr. Faith, who has just joined the practice.
One of the first things Dr. Faith does is to ask to see Freda and she should bring with her a list of all the medicines that have been prescribed for her. Eventually, Freda has her appointment.
As Dr. Faith is looking through Freda’s list, he is totally shocked to see that she has a prescription for birth control pills.
"Mrs. Crane," he says, "do you realize that these are birth control pills?"
"Yes doctor," replies Freda, "they help me sleep at night."
"Mrs. Crane," says Dr. Faith, "I can assure you that there is absolutely nothing in birth control pills that could possibly help you sleep better at night."
When she hears this, Freda reaches over to Dr. Faith, lovingly pats him on his knee and says, "Yes, doctor, I know this, but every morning I get up very early, grind up one of the pills and mix it in a glass of orange juice."
"And then?" asks Dr. Faith, "You drink the orange juice?"
"Oh no!", responds Mrs. Crane, "I give it to my 16-year-old granddaughter Suzy when she wakes up - believe me doctor, this helps me sleep at night."
