A panic-stricken man explained to his doctor, “You have to help me, I think I’m shrinking.”
“Now settle down,” the doctor calmly told him. “You'll just have to learn to be a little patient.”
A Little Patient

Listen up, buttercup. The joke is that the man thinks he's getting smaller, so he goes to the doctor. But the doctor tells him to be "a little patient," which sounds like he's telling him to wait, but it's also a pun because a "patient" is also someone who goes to the doctor. Get it? It's funny because it uses words in a clever way, something I know you struggle with.
