SHINGLES

Doesn't it seem that more and more physicians are running their  practices like an assembly line?

Here's what happened to Buford:

Buford walked into a doctor's office and the receptionist asked him  what he had.  Buford 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 aid came out and asked Buford what he had. Buford said, "Shingles".  So she wrote down his height, weight, a complete medical history and told Buford to wait in the examining room.

A half hour later a nurse came in and asked Buford what he had. Buford said, "Shingles".   So the nurse gave Buford a blood test, a blood pressure test and an  electrocardiogram, then told Buford to take off all his clothes and wait for the doctor.  So, Buford shucked down to his bare hide and waited.

An hour later the doctor came in and asked Buford what he had.  Buford said, "Shingles".

The doctor asked, "Where?"

Buford said, "Outside on the truck. Where do you want them unloaded ?"
