A new doctor had been hired at a mental asylum.

After a few months, he began to get acquainted with the patients. He had learned all of their names and their illnesses and was making progress with some of them.

As he was making his rounds one day, one of the patients approached the doctor and said, "Hey doc , I like you more than our old doctor."

The doctor, obviously flattered asked, "Why?"

The patient answered, "Because you seem more like one of us."
