He knew that a doctor would not examine a dog, so he decided to pretend that he himself was the one who was sick. In spite of the fact that it was midnight, he made a phone call to a famous throat specialist and asked the doctor to rush to his home right away. The doctor was very angry, but he tried hard to control himself and said, “I only see patients during the day and by appointment.” On hearing this, the painter replied, “But...but, Doctor, I’m the famous portrait painter, Raphael DePicter, and this is an emergency.” As the painter was indeed a well-known artist, the doctor finally agreed to visit the patient. When the doctor arrived at the artist’s home and saw that his patient was a dog, he was raged, but immediately he thought of a plan to get even. Hiding his anger, he said calmly, “I’m afraid this is a very difficult case. I’ll have to go back to study the case more carefully. I’ll call you when I find out exactly what’s wrong with your dog.” Then he left. About the same time the following night, Mr. DePicter was awakened by a phone call. It was the throat specialist and he asked Mr. DePicter to go immediately to his house. Mr. DePicter said, “But, Doctor, it’s past twelve. I have an appointment to paint the portrait of a very important person. Can’t you wait until tomorrow afternoon?” But the doctor insisted, saying: “That would be too late. Please hurry.” Thinking it was about his dog’s illness, the painter jumped out of bed, got dressed, and ran to the doctor’s house. After opening the door, the doctor said to the artist, “Please tell me, how much would you charge to paint my house?”
