The American Medical Association weighs in on new Congressional health proposal

The Allergists voted to scratch it, but the
Dermatologists advised not to make any rash moves.

The Gastroenterologists had sort of a gut feeling
about it, but the Neurologists thought the Administration had a lot of nerve.

The Obstetricians felt they were all laboring under a
misconception.

Ophthalmologists considered the idea shortsighted.

Pathologists yelled "Over my dead body!" while the
Pediatricians said "Oh Grow up!"

The Psychiatrists thought the whole idea was madness, while
the Radiologists could see right through it.

Surgeons decided to wash their hands of the whole thing.

The Internists thought it was a bitter pill to
swallow, and the Plastic Surgeons said "This puts a whole new face on the matter . . . "

The Podiatrists thought it was a step forward, but the
Urologists were pissed off at the whole idea.

The Anesthesiologists thought the whole idea was a gas, and
the Cardiologists didn't have the heart to say no.

In the end, the Proctologists won out, leaving the entire
decision up to the intelligent designers in Washington.
