This is from newshound Dave Barry’s colonoscopy journal:

I called my friend Andy Sable, a gastroenterologist, to make an appointment for a colonoscopy.

A few days later, in his office, Andy showed me a color diagram of the colon, a lengthy organ that appears to go all over the place, at one point passing briefly thru Minneapolis .  [Read more →]

DR. PHIL:
The problem we have here is that this chicken needs to GET REAL and realize that he must first deal with the problem on “THIS” side of the road before it goes after the problem on the “OTHER SIDE” of the road. What we need to do is help him realize how stupid he’s acting by not taking on his “CURRENT” problems before adding “NEW” problems.

Part 1

Three doctors are waiting for their intake interview with St. Peter.

The first explains that he established a free health clinic in the inner city of Harlem and helped provide care for those who couldn’t afford it. St. Peter steps aside and he walks through the pearly gates.

The second says she spent her career in third-world countries helping educate the locals in nutrition, birth control, and providing much-needed health care. St. Peter also steps aside and she walks through the pearly gates.

The third is dressed in Hugo Boss, Bally, etc. He brags that he used to practice as a doctor but later got his MBA from Harvard and came up with a brilliant idea. It’s called a Health Maintenance Organization (HMO for short). “The great thing about this new concept was that we could limit the amount of health care to the people and allow insurance companies and Wall Street investors to become filthy rich.”

With that, St Peter says, “That sounds very impressive, but I’ll have to think about it.”

After scratching his chin for a minute he responds, “You can be admitted today, but you can stay for only two days.”

A big-shot business man had to spend a couple of days in the hospital. He was a royal pain to the nurses because he bossed them around just like he did his employees.

None of the hospital staff wanted to have anything to do with him. The head nurse was the only one who could stand up to him. She came into his room and announced, “I have to take your temperature.” After complaining for several minutes, he finally settled down, crossed his arms and opened his mouth.

“No, I’m sorry, the nurse stated, “but for this reading, I cannot use an oral thermometer.” This started another round of complaining, but eventually he rolled over and bared his rear end.

After feeling the nurse insert the thermometer, he heard her announce, “I have to get something. Now you stay JUST LIKE THAT until I get back!”

She left the door to his room open on her way out. He cursed under his breath as he heard people walking past his door laughing.

After almost an hour, the man’s doctor came into the room.

“What’s going on here?” asked the doctor.

Angrily, the man answered, “What’s the matter, Doc? Haven’t you ever seen someone having his temperature taken?”

After a pause, the doctor confesses, “Well, no. I guess I haven’t. Not with a carnation anyway.”
