The AMA and Obamacare ... a bit of levity, if possible?

Sent to me...I didn't write it, but I love it anyway. I thought of all those white coats with or without stethoscopes last night vying for a cameo shot on the Tee Vee...

The American Medical Association has weighed in on Obama's new health care package.

The Allergists were in favor of scratching 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.

Meanwhile, Obstetricians felt certain everyone was laboring under a misconception, while theOphthalmologists 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 and the Internists claimed it would indeed be a bitter pill to swallow.

The Plastic Surgeons opined that this proposal would "put 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.

Anesthesiologists thought the whole idea was a gas, and those lofty 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.

Too soon for what? Some levity? A sense of humor is required to stay sane these days. libdem4life Oct 2013 #2
Ironically, the humor of the expression "to soon" was too subtle for some. nt Xipe Totec Oct 2013 #6
Oh, that must be me. Thanks for clearing it up. libdem4life Oct 2013 #7
