The Heathcare Debate Comes Home


Dear Oma,

On Tuesday Dr. Nea, Dr. Sabrina and cousin Dr. Daniel gave Mama a complete physical.

You’ll be sorry to hear that Mama is terminal.

Dr. Daniel suggested that a shot to the heart could be curative, but Mama declined. Surgery was suggested as an alternative, but Mama is squeamish. She's also ticklish, as it turns out.

Even though Mama is dying, we decided that she had to get lots of shots. She got a shot for chicken pox, flu, tet-tennis, and the plague. I didn’t even know Mama played tennis, but now she doesn't have to any more.

Tante says we inoculated her against everything but bankruptcy, the DT’s, and voting the straight Republican ticket.

Love,
Dr. Nea
