I have often wondered about the doctor in that rhyme. I mean, think about it: the monkey falls out of the bed and breaks his head. The mother calls the doctor. The doctor says that monkeys shouldn’t jump on the bed. But apparently the doctor just ignores the poor, broken-headed monkey. It seems cruel. And probably a violation of the Hippocratic Oath, although it probably doesn’t say “First, don’t be an annoying idiot when someone calls you about a child’s injury.”
Though it should.
Anyway, we got Margaret an off-falling-proof bed, to avoid the irritating comments of doctors who like to state the obvious.
