But think of the money you’d save!

Clearly, the guy is not on an academic scholarship….

Don’t be too sure. Family members, girl/boy friends, and room-mates will be considered Preferred Providers under socialized medicine and will be authorized to perform surgical proceedures.

If we were to allow surgeons do it, they might get greedy and amputate the whole head because the reimbursements are higher.

@Nemesys, where did you learn about “socialized medicine”? Have you tried feeling the back of your own skull for a missing bone flap?

How about a premed lobotomy?

naturally. when you’re a kid, anything you can do to gross out people is funny

I have to agree with you doctortoon. There’s never even the slightest thought of dialog on the subject for some.

Ooh, Joe, reminds me of a class trip I was on to the local high school. We got shown the senior biology classroom. The cat dissection lab was just beginning. One guy grabbed his group’s animal, held it up and dubbed it Supercat. Mind, I thought that was funny. Some of the other girls weren’t so sure.

I think it’s poor manners to comment to a vet that you heard he was blown up.

Hey why find out the facts about healthcare, Rush and the insurance company ads tell you everything you need to know. How dumb is this country?????
