The New wing:
When
some doctors were told to contribute to the construction of a new wing at a
hospital,
the
allergists voted to scratch it;
the dermatologists preferred no rash moves;
the microsurgeons were thinking along the same vein;
the neurologists thought the administration “had a lot of nerve”;
the obstetricians stated they were laboring under a misconception;
the
ophthalmologists considered the idea short-sighted;
the orthopedists issued a joint resolution; the parasitologists said, “Well,
if you encyst”;
the pathologists yelled, “Over my dead body!”;
the pediatricians said, “Grow up!”;
the proctologists said, “We are in arrears”;
the
psychiatrists thought it was madness;
and the surgeons decided to wash their hands of the whole thing.
The radiologists could see right through it;
the internists thought it was a hard pill to swallow;
the plastic surgeons said, “This puts a whole new face on the matter”;
the
podiatrists thought it was a big step forward;
the D.O.s thought they were being manipulated;
the urologists felt the scheme wouldn’t hold water;
the anesthesiologists thought the whole idea was a gas;
the cardiologists didn’t have the heart to say no;
and
the otologists were deaf to the idea.
Needless
to say, the idea of contributing to a new wing didn’t fly!
