Those who spend time waiting in a doctor’s office should appreciate this!
Those who work in a doctor’s office may learn something from this!
Here’s what happened when Kevin went to the doctor with shingles.
Kevin walked into a doctor’s office and the receptionist asked him what he had.
Kevin 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 Kevin what he had…
Kevin said, “Shingles.”
So she wrote down his height, weight, a complete medical history and told Kevin to wait in the examining room.
A half hour later a nurse came in and asked Kevin what he had.
Kevin said, “Shingles.”
So the nurse gave Kevin a blood test, a blood pressure test, an electrocardiogram, and told Kevin to take off all his clothes and wait for the doctor.
An hour later the doctor came in and found Kevin sitting patiently in the nude and asked Kevin what he had.
Kevin said, “Shingles.”
The doctor asked, “Where?”
Kevin said, “Outside on the truck. Where do you want me to unload ’em?”
Physician, don’t run thy practice as an assembly line.
