WHY OUR HEALTH CARE COSTS ARE SO HIGH!!!

[jeff of pa]

Kevin had shingles.
Those of us 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 Kevin:

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??'

Sounds just like a doctors office. LOL

Or you go to the Kaiser Health Care Clinic and a person dressed like a nurse, take all of the critical data and then begin asking clueless questions.

One of which is, "do you exercise", and you respond, "No."

And she begins to lecture you and your immediate response is, "Are you a doctor?

She says, "No."

"Are you a nurse?"

"No."

"What are you?"

"I am a medical clinic aide."

"You realize that you are not qualified to lecture me or talk down to me with your superior attitude, and you have no clue why I am here, do you?"

"Well sir", she responds with her nose in the air, "Just why do you want to see the doctor?"

"I see that you are well trained in your profession including well-honed observation and verbal skills. I'm here to have the cast removed from my left leg, and the steel pins removed from my right elbow, and the stitches removed from my head due to a recent surgery."

"Now, other than the obvious, the answer to your question regarding exercising is a big 'NO'."
