Our Medical System
Frank walked into a Sun City doctor’s office and the receptionist asked him what he had. He replied: “Shingles.” So she wrote down his name, address, Medicare insurance number and told him to have a seat.
Fifteen minutes later a nurse’s aide came out and asked him again what he had. Once again, Frank answered “Shingles” so the aide took down Frank’s height, weight, a complete medical history and told him to wait in the examining room.
A half hour later, the nurse came in, and as before, asked Frank what he had. “Shingles” he replied.
The nurse took Frank’s blood pressure and gave him a blood test as well as an electrocardiogram and told him to take off his clothes and wait for the doctor.
An hour later the doctor came in and found Frank sitting patiently in the nude and asked him what he had. “Shingles” he stated for the fourth time. The doctor asked, “where?”
Frank answered, “Outside on the truck. Where do you want me to unload ‘em?”
My Medical Advice
My warning to all Vegas Voice readers. Don’t wash your hair in the shower! I don’t know why I didn’t figure this out sooner.
I used to use shampoo in the shower. When I washed my hair, the shampoo ran down my whole body. I finally noticed that printed very clearly on the shampoo label is this warning: FOR EXTRA BODY AND VOLUME.
No wonder I have been gaining weight.
Luckily I found the solution. I got rid of that shampoo and now shower with Dawn dishwashing soap instead. It’s label reads: DISSOLVES FAT THAT IS OTHERWISE DIFFICULT TO REMOVE.
Problem solved!
FINAL THOUGHT
The idea of living a long life appeals to everyone, but the idea of getting old appeals to no one.
