Now it is not a wish, but a repetition.
Que sí comes from dije que sí.
I said, I already said yes.
So we can see this type of use in many other contexts.
Por ejemplo, imagine you didn't get what someone said and then you asked me.
¿Qué ha dicho?
No lo he podido oír.
What has he said?
I couldn't get it.
Then I'll reply.
Que no podrá venir.
He said that he won't be able to come.
He said is dijo que, ¿no?
Dijo que no podrá venir.
But we are not saying dijo because it is understood from the context that it is there.
And the same thing is happening in the joke.
And that is why it's funny.
Because that tiny word que gives away that it is not the first time the doctor answered that question.
Perfecto, pues eso es todo de momento.
Ahora espero que tengas en tu repertorio algunos chistes que puedan animar tu siguiente conversación en español.
