Imagined Conversations

Doctor 2: No problem. I merely canceled all my appointments. So, how was Fiji?

Doctor 1: Great. I played golf with a colleague from Fiji. Afterward he told me about a plant he knows about that is 100% effective in curing cancer.

Doctor2: Did you explain to him that he could make more money if people stayed sick with cancer and kept having appointments and treatments?

Doctor 1: Yes. Eastern doctors are so silly.

Doctor 2: There's no money in curing diseases with plants.

Doctor 1: Especially this plant since it grows wild everywhere in the world.

Doctor 2: I hope no one in America learns of it and cures cancer for free.

Doctor 1: That would be terrible. My secretary heard about the plant and I was afraid she would tell others.

Doctor 2: What did you do?

Doctor 1: When she wasn't looking I put a drug in her coffee to make her forget. It gives her headaches but people's suffering does not concern me.

Doctor 2: I actually like it when other people suffer. Except for my family. When they suffer I give them herbs. Herbs always work.

Doctor 1: Do you ever give herbs to your patients?

(Both laugh long and hard)
