THIS IS WHY OUR HEALTH CARE IS SO HIGH!!!
Those of you 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 history
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?"

That's only half the story, I'm told. A couple of weeks later, Bubba
had to go over to the hospital again, and walked up to the receptionist.
"What are you here for?" she asked pleasantly.
"A delivery," he said, remembering his previous experience.
"Is your wife with you?" asked the receptionist.
Bubba was a bit surprised at the question, but he kept his composure.
"No, just me. I don't need her for this delivery."
The good news is that Bubba didn't have to wait long for the staff to
see him. The bad news is that it took a few calls from his boss at the
lumberyard before the psychiatric ward finally consented to release him
the following day....
