BosGuy brain teaser

This one stumped me and took me awhile to formulate a guess and in the end I was incorrect. I hope you enjoy this one and will post the answer in the comments section later today.

A man and his son were in a terrible accident, the man died. The son was rushed into emergency surgery. The doctor walked into the room looked down at the boy and said “I can’t operate on this boy, he’s my son”. Who was the doctor?

  5. I asked my five year old nephew the other day what he wanted to be when he grew up. He was having a little trouble coming up with something so I suggested a Doctor. “NO” he replied emphatically. “That’s a girls job!”
