Medicare... Aussie Style
The phone rings and the man of the house answers,
"Hello."
"Mr. Sanders, please."
"Speaking."
"Mr. Sanders, this is Doctor Jones at Saint Agnes Laboratory.
When your wife's doctor sent her biopsy to the lab last week, a biopsy from another Mrs. Sanders arrived as well...
We are now uncertain which one belongs to your wife.
Frankly, either way the results are not too good."
"What do you mean?" Mr. Sanders asks nervously.
"Well, one of the specimens tested positive for Alzheimer's and the other one tested positive for HIV.
We can't tell which is which."
"That's dreadful! Can you do the test again?" questioned Mr.Sanders.
"Normally we can, but MEDICARE will only pay for these expensive tests once."
"Well, what am I supposed to do now?"
"The MEDICARE Helpdesk recommends that you drop your wife off somewhere in the middle of town.
If she finds her way home, don't sleep with her!
Cheers
JB
