Reply #23: Have you heard the story about the people waiting in line at the Pearly Gates?

[uppityperson]

Long line, finally some guy gets tired of waiting and storms up to whomever it is who checks people into heaven. "I'm a very important person and need to get into heaven now!" he exclaimed. St Michael (?) told him that may have been so on Earth, but now everyone is the same and get back into line. He fumes back to his place, impatiently tapping his foot.

Suddenly some old guy in scrubs walks up past everyone waiting in line, waves at St Michael and breezes through the Gates. The "vip" storms up, complaining away "how could you let him go in first, I'm a Republican, blah blah blah". St Michael simply replies "That was God, he thinks he's a doctor."

That said, most of the docs I've worked for have been decent people, though most, also, with a tendency to not fret over people having to wait when they get behind. And most ended up getting behind because a simple visit for a bp check then turns into diabetes education, infected toe, how about a PAP since you haven't had one in 15 yrs and you are here now and won't be back for another 15 yrs.
