My grandmother was a doctor on Kangaroo Island.

A small island in Australia. She came to know the locals pretty well.
There was a particular shearer who thought that kerosene was a cure all. (I've mentioned that in response to a question. ) He came into her practice complaining of a sore foot. She asked him to take his boots off and lie down on the examination table. He took one boot off. She explained that he needed to take the other one off, for comparison purposes.
His reply was, "I can't do that, doctor. I've only washed the foot that wants looking at."
He was a regular patient. Accident prone.
