It pays to be healthy.
It pays the doctors and the
hospitalls and the labs and
the xray departments and pharmacies...ETC. ETC.

DOCTORS
What doctors say, and what they're really thinking
"This should
be taken care of right away.
I'd planned
a trip to Hawaii next month but this is so easy and profitable that I want
to fix it
before
it cures itself.
><
"Welllllll,
what have we here...?"
He has
no idea and is hoping you'll give him a clue.
><
"Let me
check your medical history."
I want
to see if you've paid your last bill before spending anymore time with
you.
><
"Why
don't we make another appointment later in the week."
I'm playing
golf this afternoon, and this a waste of time.
or I need
the bucks, so I'm charging you for another office visit.
><
"We
have some good news and some bad news."
The
good news is, I'm going to buy that new BMW. The bad news is,you're
going
to
pay for it.
><
"Let's
see how it develops." Maybe in a few days it
will
grow into something that can be cured.
><
"Let
me schedule you for some tests."
I
have a forty percent interest in the lab.
><
"I'd
like to have my associate look at you."
He's
going through a messy divorce and owes me a bundle.
><
"I'd
like to prescribe a new drug.
"I'm
writing a paper and would like to use you for a guinea pig.
><
"If
it doesn't clear up in a week, give me a call."

don't know what it is. Maybe it will go away by itself.

"That's
quite a nasty looking wound."
I
think I'm going to throw up.
><
"This
may smart a little.
"Last
week two patients bit off their tongues.

"Well,
we're not feeling so well today, are we...?"
I'm
stalling for time. Who are you and why are you here?

Rats!
I guess I can't buy that new beach condo after all.

split fees with me ...

Why Can't We All Just Get Along?
Two physicians
boarded a flight out of Seattle. One sat in the
window
seat, the other sat in the middle seat. Just before
takeoff,
an attorney got on and took the aisle seat next to the
two physicians.
The attorney
kicked off his shoes, wiggled his toes and was
settling
in when the physician in the window seat said," I think
I'll get
up and get a coke."
"No problem,"
said the attorney, "I'll get it for you."
While he
was gone, one of the physicians picked up the attorney's
shoe and
spat in it.
When he
returned with the coke, the other physician said, "That
looks good,
I think I'll have one too."
Again,
the attorney obligingly went to fetch it and while he was
gone, the
other physician picked up the other shoe and spat in
it. The
attorney returned and they all sat back and enjoyed the
flight.
As the plane was landing, the attorney slipped his feet
into his
shoes and knew immediately what had happened.
"How long
must this go on?" he asked. "This fighting between our
professions?
This hatred? This animosity? This spitting in
shoes and
pissing in cokes?"
A woman accompanied her husband to the doctors'
office.After his checkup, the doctor called the wife
into his office alone. He said, "Your husband is
suffering from a very severe disease, combined
with horrible stress. If you don't do the following,
your husband will surely
die""Each morning, fix him
a healthy breakfast. Be pleasant, and make sure he
is in a good mood. For lunch make him a nutritious
meal. For dinner prepare an especially nice meal
for
him. Don't burden him with chores, as he
probably
had a hard day. Don't discuss your
problems with him, it will only make his stress
worse. And mostimportantly, make love with your
husband
several times a week and satisfy his
every
whim. If you can do this for the next 10
months to a year, I think your husband will regain
his
health completely."On the way home, the
husband asked his wife. "What did the doctor say?
""""""He said you're going to die," she replied.
><>OOOOOOO<><
Source unknown.
Dr. Leroy, the head psychiatrist at the local mental hospital, is
examining patients to see if they're cured and ready to re-enter
society."So, Mr. Clark," the doctor says to one of his patients, "I
see by your chart that you've been recommended for dismissal.
Do youhave any idea what you might do once you're released?"
The patient thinks for a moment, then replies, "Well, I went to
school for mechanical engineering. That's still a good field, good
money there.But on the other hand, I thought I might write a book
about my experiencehere in the hospital, what it's like to be a patient
here. People might beinterested in reading a book like that. In
addition, I thought I might go back tocollege and study art history,
which I've grown interested in lately."Dr. Leroy nods and says, "Yes,
those all sound like intriguing possibilities."The patient replies,
"And the best part is, in my spare time, I can go on being a teapot."

You Never
Know...
A middle aged woman has a heart attack and is taken to the hospital.
While on the operating table she has a near death experience.
During that experience she sees God and asks if this is it.God says
no and explains that she has another 30-40 years to live. upon her
recovery she decides to just stay in the hospital and have a face lift,
liposuction, breast augmentation, tummy tuck, etc. She even
has
someone come in and change her hair color. She figures since she's
got another 30 or 40 years she might as well make the most of it.
She's walks out the hospital after the last operation and is killed by
an ambulance speeding up to the hospital.She arrives in front of
God and asks, "I thought you said I had another 30-40 years?".
God replies, "I didn't recognize you."

Building a new wing for the Hospital
When doctors
were told to contribute to the construction of a
new wing
at a hospital:
The allergists
voted to scratch it.
The dermatologists
preferred no rash moves.
The gastroenterologists
had a gut feeling about it.
The microsurgeons
were thinking along the same vein.
The neurologists
thought the administration had a lot of nerve.
The obstetricians
stated they were laboring under a misconception.
The ophthalmologists
considered the idea short-sighted.
The orthopedists
issued a joint resolution.
The parasitologists
said, "well, if you encyst".
The pathologists
yelled, "over my dead body!"
The pediatricians
said, "grow up".
The proctologists
said, "we are in arrears".
The psychiatrists
thought it was madness.
The surgeons
decided to wash their hands of the whole thing.
The radiologists
could see right through it.
The internists
thought it was a hard pill to swallow.
The plastic
surgeons said, "this puts a whole new face on the matter".
The podiatrists
thought it was a big step forward.
The <D.O.s>
thought they were being manipulated.
The urologists
felt the scheme wouldn't hold water.
The anesthesiologists
thought the whole idea was a gas.
The cardiologists
didn't have the heart to say no.
And the
otologists were deaf to the idea.
The new wing didn't fly!

SURGEONS
Five surgeons
are discussing who makes the best patients to operate on
The first
surgeon says, "I like to see accountants on my operating
table,
because when you open then up, everything inside is numbered."
The second
responds, "Yeah, but you should try electricians!
Everything
inside them is color coded."
The third
surgeon says, "No, I really think librarians are the best;
everything
inside them is in alphabetical order."
The fourth
surgeon chimes in: "You know, I like construction workers.
Those guys
always understand when you have a few parts left over at
the end,
and when the job takes longer than you said it would."
But the
fifth surgeon shut them all up when he observed: "You're all
wrong.
Politicians are the easiest to operate on. There's no guts, no
heart,
no spine, and the head and butt are interchangeable.
>> >>>00=========00<<< <<
Suffering from
a bad case of the flu, the outraged patient
bellowed,
"Three weeks??? The doctor can't see me for three
weeks??? I
could well be dead by then!"
Calmly the
voice at the other end of the line replied, "If so,
would you

Subject:
New Cost Cutting Measures
From: Administration/Groundskeeping
Subject:
New Cost Cutting Measures
Date: March
8, 1999
Effective
March 8, this hopsital will no longer provide security. Each
charge
nurse will be issued a 38 caliber revolver and 12 rounds of
ammunition.
An additional 12 rounds will be stored in pharmacy. In
addition
to providing routine nursing duties, charge nurses wil rotate
the patrolling
of hospital grounds. A bicycle and helmet will be
provided
for patrolling the parking area. In light of the similarity of
monitoring
equipment, ICU will now take over the security monitors as
well as
continuing previous secretarial duties.
Food Services
will be discontinued. Patients wishing to be fed will need
to let
their families know to bring something or make arrangements with
Subway,
Dominoes, ect. before meal time. Coin operated telephones will
be available
in the patient room for this purpose as well as other calls
patients
wish to make.
Housekeeping
and Physical Therapy will be combined. Mops will be issued
to those
patients who are ambulatory, thus providing range-of motion as
well as
a clean environment. Families and ambulatory patients may also
sign up
to clean non-ambulatory rooms for special discounts from their
final bill.
Time cards will be provided.
As you can
see on the FROM line above, administration will be assuming
groundskeeping
duties. If an administrator cannot be reached by calling
his/her
office, it is suggested that you walk outside and listen for the
sound of
the lawn mower, weed wacker, etc.
Engineering
has been eliminated. The hospital has subsribed to the
"Time-Life
"How to...." series of maintance books. These books are to be
checked
out from administration and a toolbox with standard equipment
will be
available on all nursing units. We will be receiving the series
at a rate
of one volume every other month. We already have the volume on
Basic Wiring,
but if a non-electrical problem occurs please try to
handle
it as best as you can until the appropriate volume arrives.
Cutbacks
in phlebotomy staff will be accomodated by only performing
blood-related
lab tests on patients who are already bleeding.
Physicians
will be informed that they may order no more than 2 X-rays
per stay.
This is due to the turn-around time required by Arbor photo
lab.
Two prints will be provided for the price of one, and the
physicians
are being advised to clip coupons from the Sunday paper if
they want
extra sets. Arbor will also honor compeditors coupons for one
hour processing
in case of emergencies. So if you come across extra
coupons
please clip them and send them to ER.
In light
of the extremely hot temperatures, Detroit Edison has been
asked to
install individual meters in each patient room, office ect. so
that electrical
consumption can be monitored and appropriately billed.
Fans will
be available for sale or lease in the gift shop.
In addition
to the current recycling program, a box of unused fruit and
bread will
be provided on each floor. Families, patients and the few
remaining
employees are encouraged to contribute to the discarded
produce.
The resulting molding compost will be utilized by the hospital
pharmacy
for nosocomial production of antibiotics. These antibiotics
will also
be available for purchase through the hospital pharmacy, and
will coincidentally,
soon be the only antibiotics listed on the HMO’s
formulary.
>> >>>00=========00<<< <<
A CODE OF ETHICAL BEHAVIOR FOR PATIENTS
1. DO NOT EXPECT YOUR DOCTOR TO SHARE YOUR
DISCOMFORT.
Involvement with the patient's suffering might
cause him to
lose valuable scientific objectivity.
2. BE CHEERFUL AT ALL TIMES.
Your doctor leads a busy and trying life and
requires all
the gentleness and reassurance he can get.
3. TRY TO SUFFER FROM THE DISEASE FOR WHICH
YOU ARE BEING
TREATED.
Remember that your doctor has a professional
reputation to
uphold.
4. DO NOT COMPLAIN IF THE TREATMENT FAILS TO
BRING RELIEF.
You must believe that your doctor has achieved
a deep
insight into the true nature of your illness,
which
transcends any mere permanent disability you
may have
experienced.
5. NEVER ASK YOUR DOCTOR TO EXPLAIN WHAT HE
IS DOING OR WHY
HE IS DOING IT.
It is presumptuous to assume that such profound
matters
could be explained in terms that you would
understand.
6. SUBMIT TO NOVEL EXPERIMENTAL TREATMENT
READILY.
Though the surgery may not benefit you directly,
the
resulting research paper will surely be of
widespread
interest.
7. PAY YOUR MEDICAL BILLS PROMPTLY AND
WILLINGLY.
You should consider it a privilege to contribute,
however
modestly, to the well-being of physicians
and other
humanitarians.
8. DO NOT SUFFER FROM AILMENTS THAT YOU
CANNOT AFFORD.
It is sheer arrogance to contract illnesses
that are beyond
your means.
9. NEVER REVEAL ANY OF THE SHORTCOMINGS
THAT HAVE COME TO
LIGHT IN THE COURSE OF TREATMENT BY YOUR DOCTOR.
The patient-doctor relationship is a privileged
one, and you
have a sacred duty to protect him from exposure.
10. NEVER DIE WHILE IN YOUR DOCTOR'S
PRESENCE OR UNDER HIS
DIRECT CARE.
This will only cause him needless inconvenience
and
embarrassment.

An elderly
couple scheduled their annual medical examination the sameheduled their
annual medical
examination the same day so they could travel together.
After the
examination, the doctor then said to the elderly man: "You appear
to be in
good health, do you have any medical concerns that you would like
to discuss
with me?"
"In fact I do," said the man, "After I have sex with my wife for
the first
time, I am usually hot and sweaty. And then, after I have sex with
my wife
the second time, I am usually cold and chilly."
"This is very interesting," replied the doctor, "Let me do some
research
and get back to you." After examining the elderly lady, the doctor
said: "Everything
appears to be fine.
Do you
have any medical concerns that you would like to discuss
with me?"
The lady replied that she had no questions or concerns.
The doctor
then asked, "Your husband had an unusual concern.
He claims
that he is usually hot and sweaty after having sex with
you, and
then cold and chilly after the second time. Do you know why?"
"Oh, that
old buzzard," she replied, "That's because the first
time is
usually in July and the second time in December.

Q; What
does HMO stand for?
A. This
is actually a variation of the phrase, "Hey, Moe" Its roots go back
to a concept pioneered by Doctor Moe Howard, who discovered that a patient
could be made to forget about the pain in his foot if he was poked hard
enough in the eyes. Modern practice replaces the physical finger
poke with hi-tech equivalents such as voice mail and referral slips, but
the result remains the same.
Q. Do
all diagnostic procedures require pre-certification?
A. No.
Only those you need.
Q. I
just joined a new HMO. How difficult will it be to choose the doctor
I want?
A. Just
slightly more difficult than choosing your parents. Your insurer
will provide you with a book listing all the doctors who were participating
in the plan at the time the information was gathered. These doctors
basically fall into two categories: those who are no longer accepting new
patients, and those who will see you but are no longer part of the plan.
But don't worry -- the remaining doctor who is still in the plan
and accepting new patients has an office just a half day's drive away.
Q. What
are pre-existing conditions?
A. This
is a phrase used by the grammatically challenged when they want to talk
about existing conditions. Unfortunately, we appear to be pre-stuck
with it.
Q. Well,
can I get coverage for my pre-existing conditions?
A. Certainly,
as long as they don't require any treatment.
Q. What
happens if I want to try alternative forms of medicine?
A. You'll
need to find alternative forms of payment.
Q. My
pharmacy plan only covers generic drugs, but I need the name brand. I tried
the generic medication, but it gave me a stomach ache. What should
I do?
A. Poke
yourself in the eye.
Q. I
have an 80/20 plan with a $200 deductible and a $2,000 yearly cap.
My insurer reimbursed the doctor for out-patient surgery but I'd already
paid my bill. What should I do?
A. You
have two choices. Your doctor can sign the reimbursement check over
to you, or you can ask him to invest the money for you in one of those
great offers that only doctors and dentists hear about, like windmill farms
or frog hatcheries.
Q. What
should I do if I get sick while traveling?
A. Try
sitting in a different part of the bus.
Q. No,
I mean what if I'm away from home and I get sick?
A. You
really shouldn't do that. You'll have a hard time seeing your primary
care physician. It's best to wait until you return home, and then
get sick.
Q. I
think I need to see a specialist, but my doctor insists he can handle my
problem. Can a general practitioner really perform a heart transplant
right in his office?
A. Hard
to say, but considering that all you're out is the $10 co-payment, there's
no harm giving him a shot at it.

The second one asked, "So? Why are you crying? Are you afraid?"
The first guy replied, "No. Not that. During the blood test they cut my finger."
Hearing this, the second one started crying.

A
guy is suffering from severe headaches for years with no relief.
After
trying all the usual cures he's referred to a headache specialist
by
his family doctor. The doctor asks him what his symptoms are and he
replies,"I
get these blinding headaches; kind of like a knife across my
scalp
and..".
He
is interrupted by the doctor, "And a heavy throbbing right behind
theleft
ear".
"Yes!
Exactly! How did you know?"
"Well
I am the world's greatest headache specialist, you know. But
I
myself suffered from that same type of headache for many years. It
is
caused by a tension in the scalp muscles. This is how I cured it:
Everyday
I would give my wife oral sex. When she came she would squeeze
her
legs together with all her strength and the pressure would relieve
the
tension in my head. Try that every day for two weeks and come back
and
let me know how it goes".
Two
weeks go by and the man is back, "Well, how do you feel?" the doctor
asked.
"Doc,
I'm a new man! I feel great! I haven't had a headache since
I
started this treatment! I can't thank you enough. And, by the way
you
have a lovely home."

More
and more doctors are running their practices like an assembly
lines.
One fella walked into a doctor's office and the receptionist asked
him what
he had. He said, "Shingles." So she took down his name, address,
medical
insurance number and told him to have a seat. Fifteen minutes later a
nurse's
aid came out and asked him what he had. He said,
"Shingles."
So she took down his height, weight, a complete medical history
and told
him to wait in the examining room. A half-hour later a nurse came in
and asked
him what he had. He said, "Shingles." So she gave him a blood test,
a blood
pressure test, an electrocardiogram, told him to take off all his
clothes
and wait for the doctor. An hour later the doctor came in and asked
him what
he had. He said, "Shingles." The doctor said, "Where?" He said,
"Outside
in the truck. Where do you want them?"

St. Peter meditates on this for a while, and then says,

This guy went to the doctor and said to him
"Doctor....I don't know what's wrong
with me, but every time I fart, it sounds
like the word HONDA".
"That's interesting,
never heard of anything like that before. Do you think
you could fart for me?" says the doctor.
The guy says "Sure."
And sure enough,
the doctor hears "HONDA".
After several attempts
to figure out what's wrong with this guy, the doctor
runs out of ideas. He sends him to
all sorts of stomach specialists and none
of them can figure out why this guys
farts say "HONDA." It is a completely
out of this world medical condition.
Finally, as a last resort, the doctors
think they should send the man to a dentist.
After explaining
the problem to the dentist, the dentist opened up the guys
mouth and examining it.
The dentist says
"A-haa!!!!....I have solved the problem."
The patient says
"What is it? What is it. Please tell me doc"
The dentist replies
"Well, sir, you have an abscess tooth."
The guy says "Yeah....so....What
has that got to do with my farts?"
The dentist replies,
"Cant you see??..... Abscess Makes The Fart Go HONDA"
