[rec.humor.funny] Doctors under stress

JX655C@gwuvm.gwu.edu (PJ Geraghty) (04/24/91)

It seems that in Florida, when EMS was just beginning many years ago,
there was an ER doctor on the med channels who was talking to paramedics
who were trying to restar a guy's heart, to no avail.  As the medics
kept trying, the MD ordered every drug in the drug box into
the patient, in the hopes that *SOMETHING* would work.  When his last
option was exhausted, in desperation, he asked "Is there a phone book
there?"  The surprised medics answered affirmatively, and the MD asked
"Do you know this guy's name?"  The bewildered medics again answered
yes.  "OK," the doc said, "Look up his name and CROSS IT OUT..."
