Doctors share views on the stimulus plan:   The medical profession speaks out on the financial bail-out package .
...

The allergists voted to scratch it, and the dermatologists advised not to make any rash moves.

The gastroenterologists had sort of a gut feeling about it, but the neurologists thought the administration had a lot of nerve, and the obstetricians felt they were all laboring under a misconception.

The ophthalmologists considered the idea shortsighted; the pathologists yelled, "Over my dead body!" while the pediatricians said, "Oh, grow up!"'

The psychiatrists thought the whole idea was madness, the radiologists could see right through it, and the surgeons decided to wash their hands of the whole thing.

The internists thought it was a bitter pill to swallow, and the plastic surgeons said, "This puts a whole new face on the matter."

The podiatrists thought it was a step forward, but the urologists felt the scheme wouldn't hold water.

The anesthesiologists thought the whole idea was a gas, and the cardiologists didn't have the heart to say no.

In the end, the proctologists left the decision up to the buttholes in Washington.

I was waiting for the proctologists' opinoions! Speaking as a colon-ized, I think it's a wash.

Well, I hear the acupuncturists - not being part of mainstream Western medicine - were the first to get the point.

But some orthopedists thought the package seemed a bit disjointed.

And, the chiropractors couldn't wait to take a crack at it!

The obstetricians think it will be good for labor.

Funny cartoons, Donuel.

If laughter is the best medicine, maybe that's what doctors would prescribe to save our economy?

Of course, podiatrists might think your cartoons are kind of corny.
