No hiccups!

Pat was not feeling very well, so he decided to go to a doctor. While he was waiting in the doctor`s reception room, a nun came out of the doctor`s office. She looked very ashen, drawn and haggard.
Pat went into the doctor`s office and said to the doctor, "I just saw a nun leaving who looked absolutely terrible. I have never seen a woman look worse."
The doctor said, "I just told her that she is pregnant."
Pat exclaimed, "Oh my, is she?"
The doctor responded, "No, but it sure cured her hiccups.
