Med Care

The phone rings and the lady of the house answers:
- Hello.
- Mrs. Ward, please.
- Speaking.
- Mrs. Ward, this is Doctor Jones at the Medical Testing Laboratory. When your doctor sent your husband's biopsy to the lab yesterday, a biopsy from another Mr. Ward arrived as well, and we are now uncertain which one is your husband's. Frankly the results are either bad or terrible.
- What do you mean? Mrs. Ward asks nervously.
- Well, one of the specimens tested positive for Alzheimer's, and the other one tested positive for AIDS. We can't tell which is your husband's.
- That's dreadful! Can't you do the test again? questioned Mrs.Ward.
- Normally we can, but Medicare will only pay for these expensive tests one time.
- Well, what am I supposed to do now?
- The people at Medicare recommend that you drop your husband off somewhere in the middle of town. If he finds his way home, don't sleep with him.
