Buried deep in Obama's Health Care Reform Act is a hidden clause I bet you never heard of...
Physician-Patient Communications
Henceforth, whenever possible, all physician to patient (or patient family) communications shall be conducted telepathically, in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 and the Electronic Communications Act of 2003. This is intended to reduce the paperwork burden on both the health care provider and the patient. In addition, this will reduce the liability burden on the physician's malpractice insurance provider, as telepathic communications are untraceable, unrecordable, and not admissible in a court of law. *
Who knew, right?
Which totally explains why Shout's Dr. B told me she would send me a copy of the letter she wrote to Dr. Everything Will Be Alright. She didn't mention it would be via telepathic delivery.
Dr. Everything Will Be Alright got the letter. And he read it. And he jotted down some notes in his computer about it. And then he apparently sent me those notes telepathically.
Things like "Go to Children's Hospital. Let's find out why Shout's kidneys are bleeding. Run! Fast!"
And here I was thinking that the wheels of health care were just turning slowly. Because you know, they have before.
Nope. As it turns out, the problem was ME. And my telepathic receiver that I didn't have turned on. Because I didn't read the whole health care bill, I guess.
*(I made up this paragraph. Obvs. But it's pretty good, isn't it? I should totally run for Congress.)

I've been thinking about taking a continuing ed class to learn how to make pipe bombs. Do you want me to send you the info? Telepathically of course...
Oh, those silly clauses! See, YOU should have read that thoroughly. Man, some people just expect vital communication handed to them on a silver platter. *shakes head*
[On a serious note, I'm sorry for this frustrating process. Hopefully they can get their courier pigeons working soon.]
I'd vote for you - well, if I lived in your district. Might as well run for President. More votes that way.
I think your clause makes as much sense as the ones I see in almost every bill passed in congress :-)

I found your blog on Stumbling Towards Perfection, I love her blog, and I figured if she was a fan, I would probably like you too! I was right! :)

Way to make an INFURIATING experience funny.
Well, for your readers anyway.
I'll bet YOU still don't see the humor in all of this.
Sheesh. Sorry Sue.
