A Sweet Demonstration
A diabetic has too much sugar in his blood as well as sugar in his urine. The fact that diabetic urine is sweet to tast was
often used amusingly by Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes, a distinguished American physician who wa
was also famous as a poet, in
his lectures to Harvard medical students.
He used to point to a beaker of urine on the table and say: "Now I will demonstrate that urinr can be sweet." Then
He would dip his finger into the beaker and taste. After that he would say: "Gentlemen, would you do the same, please?"
After the demonstration Holmes would smile and then show his disappointment. "You lack observation, gentlemen - a
highly important factor in medical diagnosis", he would say. "I said I would demonstrated that urine could be sweet, and
you did not note that I put my index finger in the beaker but tasted my middle finger."
