Recently,
when a Panel of Doctors at a hospital was asked to vote on adding a new wing,
this is what happened:
The allergists voted to scratch it.
The
dermatologists preferred no rash moves.
The
gastroenterologists had a gut feeling about it.
The
neurologists thought the administration had a lot of nerve.
The
obstetricians stated they were laboring under a misconception.
The
ophthalmologists considered the idea shortsighted.
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
urologists felt the scheme wouldn't hold water.
The
anesthesiologists thought the whole idea was a gas.
And
the cardiologists didn't have the heart to say no.
The
HMOs killed it anyway.
