Assembly line Doctors
Doesn't it seem that more and more physicians are
running their practices like an assembly line? How many
of us can relate to this one?
Here's what happened to Buford:
Buford walked into a doctor's office and the
receptionist asked him what he had. Buford 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 aid came out and asked
Buford what he had. Buford said, Shingles. So she
wrote down his height, weight, a complete medical
history and told Buford to wait in the examining room.
A half hour later a nurse came in and asked Buford
what he had. Buford said, Shingles. So she gave Buford
a blood test, a blood pressure test,
Electrocardiogram, told Buford to take off all his
clothes and wait for the doctor.
An hour later the doctor came in and asked Buford what
he had. Buford said, Shingles. The doctor asked,
Where? Buford said, Outside on the truck. Where do
you want them?
