Question

A man and his son were in an automobile accident. The man died on the way to the hospital, but the boy was rushed into surgery. The emergency room surgeon said, “I cannot operate, because that is my son!” How was this possible?​

Answer 1

maybe the person who died in the accident was not as real father

Answer 2

the last sentence

“I cannot operate, because that is my son!”

was said by his mother

This surely is a really interesting question.

The situation states that the father of thne

boy dies in the accident, while the boy

goes for surgery.

As the gender of the doctor has not been

discussed at any time, it is clear that the

doctor can be a female too.

Given the situation, where the doctor

says no to the surgery stating the boy is

her son, it becomes clear that the doctor

is the mother of that boy.

So the reason why the doctor says I can't

operate my son is that the doctor is the

mother of that boy.
