"Apparently the American Medical  Association has weighed in on the new economic stimulus package... " 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  labouring under a misconception. Ophthalmologists considered the idea  shortsighted. Pathologists yelled, ‘Over my dead  body’, while the Paediatricians said, ‘Oh, grow up!’ The Podiatrists thought it was a big  step backward, and the Urologists were pissed off at the whole idea. The Psychiatrists thought the whole  idea was madness, while the Radiologists could see right through it. Surgeons decided to wash their hands  off 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 Anaesthesiologists 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 assholes in Washington.
