Guest guest Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 Bubba Had Shingles Those of us who spend much time in a doctor's office should appreciate this! Doesn't it seem more and more that physicians are running their practices like an assembly line? Here's what happened to Bubba: 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 histor y 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 found Bubba sitting patiently in the nude and asked Bubba what he had. Bubba said, " Shingles. " The doctor asked, " Where? " Bubba said, " Outside on the truck. Where do you want me to unload 'em?? " M. Guppy Don't tell God how big your storm is - tell the storm how big your God is! Texas Autism Advocacy: www.TexasAutismAdvocacy.org " There are some aspects of a person's life that we have no right to compromise. We cannot negotiate the size of an institution. No one should live in one. We cannot debate who should get an inclusive education. Everyone should. We cannot determine who does and who does not get the right to make their own choices and forge their own futures. All must. " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
