Shingles

Those of us who spend much time in a doctor's office should appreciate this! Doesn't it seem that more and more that physicians are running their practices like an assembly line? Here's what happened to one guy...

Bubba walked into a doctor's office and the receptionist asked him what he had. Bubba said, "Shingles." So she wrote down his name, address, medical insurance number and told him to have a seat.

Fifteen minutes later a nurse's aide came out and asked Bubba what he had. Bubba said, "Shingles." So she wrote down his height,  weight, a complete medical history and told Bubba to wait in the examining room.

A half hour later a nurse came in and asked Bubba what he had.
Bubba said, "Shingles." So the nurse gave Bubba a blood test, a blood pressure test, an electrocardiogram, and told Bubba to take off all his clothes and wait for the doctor.

An hour later the doctor came in and asked Bubba what he had.

Bubba said, "Shingles."

The doctor asked, "Where?"

Bubba said, "Outside on the truck. Where do you want them?"

Bada bah! You here til Thursday?
Seriously, I stumbled on your blog when I was looking for a pic of a carpenter and I have to nab your meditating pic for a post. I'll take it down if you want, but it's perfect and I'll put in a nod for your blog here, too. I'm enjoying your posts so glad I meandered over here today. Here's where I put your pic if you want editorial input or to tell me never to show my face around here again. http://laurayoung.typepad.com/dragonslaying/2007/01/a_bitter_disapp.html
Be well! Live long and prosper and all that...
