Damn Doctors

Why is it that those good-for-nothing doctors never treat you for what you come in for?  Why do they refuse to fix what's bothering you and instead run a bunch of fancy tests to waste your whole afternoon, and then keep you overnight!?

Take my older gentleman over in bed 8 the other night.  All he wanted was for somebody to take a look at his ear.  It had been hurting on and off over the past week, and since he didn't have a doctor of his own anymore, he figured he might as well stop by the ER and get it checked out... could it be wax? The pain came in waves, you see, and he felt his hearing was going a bit in the bad ear, too.

But leave it to those doctors to ignore the ear pain after he told them that whenever his ear hurt, his chest hurt too.  Didn't they realize the problem was with the ear!?  Instead of doing what they were told, those quacks kept rambling on about the whatchamacallit... flipped T-waves on the EKG and some abnormal blood tests.  His blood was just fine, thank you very much, and if they fixed that darn ear he was sure the chest pain would go away too.

Damn doctors.
