The Evolution of Medicine
In Canada, I pay medical premium for a minimal cost. The amount of taxes that is taken out of my income is about 30%. That’s a lot of money considering my income is so little. I assume the tax is used in part for the medical system.
Sometime in the 90’s, I was hospitalized for 4 months. Should I have paid the cost of hospitalization, I would become “mental” thinking how I am going to pay the bill. I am grateful that it was fully paid by the government.
My knowledge in medical system is next to nothing; therefore, there is nothing intelligent I can contribute to this post except for insane Medical Humour.
The Evolution of Medicine
I have an earache …
2000 BC – Here, eat this root.
1000 AD – That root is heathen. Here, say this prayer.
1850 AD – That prayer is superstition. Here, drink this potion.
1940 AD – That potion is snake oil. Here, swallow this pill.
1985 AD – That pill is ineffective. Here, take this antibiotic.
2000 AD – That antibiotic is artificial. Here, eat this root.
Suggestion for the Automated Switchboard of a Psychiatric Hospital.
Thank you for calling.
If you are obsessive-compulsive, press ‘1’ repeatedly.
If you are co-dependent, ask someone else to press ‘2’.
If you have multiple personalities, press ‘3’, ‘4’, ‘5’ and ‘6’.
If you are paranoid, we know who you are and what you want; just stay on the line and we will trace the call.
If you are schizophrenic, listen carefully and a voice will tell you which number to press.
If you are depressed, it doesn’t matter which number you press, we won’t answer your call anyway.
If you are a GP, forget about referring a patient because there aren’t any beds.

Hi there,
I’ve been laughing a good one!
Would you allow me to post in my blog just the “psycho” part, with some picture? I’ll mention of course the credit link!

Hi Rom, feel free to use the whole thing and thanks for asking. Laugh away. 😆

It is sad. I just have to look at the “far side”

thanks for the pingback.
I enjoyed the humor! I also like the fact that your stay was fully paid. Perhaps, I should think about moving to Canada.
Thank you. Well, start planning and take actions.
This is wonderfully funny ! Love the eat the root…oh no, take a pill. No wait, eat the root. 🙂
It is funny, it’ll take a pill because I’m too lazy to chew the root. 😆
Love the jokes, my post today was way too serious, although I am humming “Its Time in my head” D 34
Glad you enjoyed the joke. Keep the hum in your head.
