Rumors R' Us

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??”
