health care proposals.
The Allergists voted to scratch it, but the Dermatologists advised
not to make any rash moves. The Gastroenterologists had sort
of a gut feeling about it, but the Neurologists
thought the Administration had a lot of nerve.
The Obstetricians felt they were all laboring under
a misconception. Ophthalmologists considered the
idea shortsighted. Pathologists yelled, "Over my dead body!"
while the Pediatricians said, "Oh, Grow up!"
The Psychiatrists thought the whole idea was madness,
while the Radiologists could see right through it. Surgeons
decided to wash their hands of the whole thing. The Internists thought it was a
bitter pill to swallow, and the Plastic Surgeons said, "This puts a whole new
face on the matter...."
The Podiatrists thought it was a step forward, but the Urologists were
pissed off at the whole idea. The Anesthesiologists
thought the whole idea was a gas, and the Cardiologists didn't have
the heart to say no.
In the end, the Proctologists won out, leaving the entire
decision up to the assholes in Washington .
