The American Medical Association weighs in on healthcare reform:
The Allergists voted to scratch it, but the Dermatologists advised
not to make any rash moves.
The Gastroenterologists had sort of a gut feeling about it,
but the Neurologists thought the Administration had a lot of nerve.
The Obstetricians felt they were all laboring under a misconception.
The Ophthalmologists considered the idea shortsighted.
Pathologists yelled, “Over my dead body!” while the Pediatricians said,
‘Oh, Grow up!’
The Psychiatrists thought the whole idea was madness,
while the Radiologists could see right through it.
Surgeons decided to wash their hands of the whole thing.
The Internists thought it was a bitter pill to swallow, and the
Plastic Surgeons said, “This puts a whole new face on the matter.”
The Podiatrists thought it was a step forward,
but the Urologists were pissed off at the whole idea.
The Anesthesiologists thought the whole idea was a gas,
and the Cardiologists didn’t have the heart to say no.
In the end, the Proctologists won out, leaving the entire decision up
to the assholes in Washington.
H/T and thanks to my favorite liberal, Kathleen!
Speaking of doctors…this group will be in Helena in September…I only wish I wasn’t teaching so I could attend.

Well I have to agree with the Proctologists, they are spot on! Just did a bit of ‘medical treatment’ myself this morning in the ER and I have to say, the service, professional manner in which I was treated and the immediate care I received lead me to believe we are just ‘fine’ the way we are until someone can come up with a new and improved version of healthcare that absolutely, DOES NOT involved Uncle Sam and Brother O and his Travelin’ Salvation Show………
