More and more doctors are running their practices like an
assembly lines. One fella walked into a doctor's office and the receptionist
asked him what he had. He said, "Shingles." So she took 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 him what he had. He said,
"Shingles." So she took down his height, weight, a complete medical history
and told him to wait in the examining room. A half-hour later a nurse came in
and asked him what he had. He said, "Shingles." So she gave him a blood
test, a blood pressure test, an electrocardiogram, told him to take off all his
clothes and wait for the doctor. An hour later the doctor came in and asked him
what he had. He said, "Shingles." The doctor said, "Where?" He said,
"Outside in the truck. Where do you want them?"
