a good medical bill joke... need to laugh once in awhile at them...
Subject: vet bill
A woman brought a limp parrot to a vet. When she laid her pet on the
table, the vet pulled out his stethoscope and put it to the bird's chest.
After a moment, the vet shook his head sadly and said, "I'm sorry: Polly
has passed away."
The distressed owner wailed, "Are you sure? I mean, you haven't done any
testing on her or anything. She might just be in a coma or something."
The vet rolled his eyes, shrugged, turned and left the room, returning
with a beautiful black Labrador retriever. As the bird's owner looked on
in amazement, the dog stood on his hind legs, put his front paws on the
examination table and sniffed the dead parrot from top to bottom. He then
looked at the vet with sad eyes and shook his head.
The vet led the dog out, and returned with a cat. The cat jumped onto the
table, sniffed and pawed at the bird. The cat sat back, shook its head,
meowed, hopped off the table and walked out.
The vet looked at the woman and said, "I'm sorry; but like I said, your
parrot is most definitely dead." He then turned to his computer, hit a few
keys
and produced a bill which he handed to the woman.
"$250!" she cried. "$250 just to tell me my bird is dead?!"
The vet shrugged and said, "Look, lady, if you'd taken my word for it, it
would have been $20, but with the Lab Report and the Cat Scan, what did
you expect?"
