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 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 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??"
