[Provisional ]Health Care Plan No 12 ,

The Australian Medical Association has weighed in on the new Rudd health care and hospital proposals. 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 short-sighted.     Pathologists yelled, "Over my dead body!" while the Paediatricians 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 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 arseholes in Canberra.
