Some Medicare Humor
The phone rings and the lady of the house
answers, "Hello."
"Mrs. Ward please."
"Speaking."
"Mrs. Ward, this is Doctor Jones at the medical
testing laboratory. When your doctor sent your
husband's biopsy to the lab yesterday, a biopsy
from another Mr. Ward arrived as well, and we
are now uncertain which one is your husband's.
Frankly the results are either bad or terrible."
"What do you mean?" Mrs Ward asked nervously.
"Well, one of the specimens tested positive
for Alzheimer's and the other one tested
positive for AIDS. We can't tell which is your
husband's."
"That's dreadful! Can't you do the test again?"
questioned Mrs. Ward.
"Normally we can, but Medicare will only pay for
these expensive tests one time."
"Well, what am I supposed to do?"
"The people at Medicare recommend that you
drop your husband off somewhere in the
middle of town, if he finds his way home, don't
sleep with him."
