. . . so now we need to bounce you.

Oh is that all. You had me worried doc.

Only distressing for the doctor/hospital. :P

It must be the USA. This doesn’t happen in the civilized countries!

He always said that he wanted his very last check to bounce

Most feared words in the medical profession.

So, does the doctor put the removed organ back?

With medical procedures costing so much, he must be having this talk with every patient.

Take it up with my insurance company – it’s not my problem

By the time the bill goes through the insurance company, he should be long gone

God cures and the doctor sends the bill. – Mark Twain

But, if we cut costs – perhaps no Anesthesiologists involved, we can save some money on the next surgery.

Distressing mostly for the doc.

Must be a third world sh!thole country without single payer/national health. In the civilised world, and even some countries not so civilised, healthcare is a right, not a privilege

That wasn’t distressing for him at all.

Ha! I knew it was gonna be about finances!

Now that’s a real problem!

A couple of doc jokes compliments of Henny Youngman:

My doctor said I had six months to live. I couldn’t pay my bill so he gave me another six months.

I went to my doc for a checkup. He grabbed my wallet and said “Cough”.
