The story of a clever doctor

The story of a clever doctor

There once was a newly elected mayor who came to a village to help the
people. Being new, he met many challenges in governing the village and
was
overwhelmed by his tasks. Soon, he experienced profound pensiveness and
felt
very sick. One day, he invited a renowned village doctor to his house
to
help cure him. The doctor felt his pulse and then thought for a while.
Suddenly, he had a crazy idea and said, "Congratulations, mayor! Your
symptoms are signs of pregnancy. Don't worry too much. You will get
better
soon." No sooner had the doctor spoken, the mayor shouted angrily, "Get
out!
I am male. How can I be pregnant? How ridiculous you are!" A short time
later, the mayor's illness disappeared, just as the doctor had
predicted.

How was the mayor cured ?
