63. The New Hospital 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 gastroenterologists had a gut feeling about it;
the microsurgeons were thinking along the same vein;
the neurologists thought the administration "had a lot of nerve";
the obstetricians stated they were labouring 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;
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 physiotherapists 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;
the audiologists were deaf to the idea. and finally,
the surgeons decided to wash their hands of the whole thing.
