Second Opinion
MODERN MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY CAN BE VERY EXPENSIVE
A lady came home to find her beloved parrot on its back, motionless.
She quickly took it to the vet. The vet looked at the bird and
pronounced it dead. The lady begged the vet to do something. So he went
into his back room and brought out a Labrador Retriever. The dog
smelled the parrot and sat down at the vet's feet. ''The dog says the
parrot is dead,'' the vet said. The lady begged some more, so the vet
brought out a cat. The cat sniffed the parrot and walked away. ''The cat
says the parrot is dead,'' the vet said. The lady gave in and asked how
much she owed. The vet said $225. The lady complained that seemed
awfully high to be told her parrot was dead. The vet agreed and said
that telling her the parrot was dead was $25. ''But,'' he said, ''the Lab
Report and Cat Scan are $100 apiece.'' ;)
