3 Doctors at the Pearly Gates
Three doctors stand before the Pearly Gates to make their cases
before St. Peter for admission to heaven.
The first says, "I invented a vaccine that saved millions of
lives, and I endowed a medical school for research." St. Peter says,
"That's very worthy; you may enter."
The second relates, "I donated a lot of my time to free
clinics, never tried to cheat Medicare or Medicaid, and I taught medicine at
the university." St. Peter nods and says, "Welcome to heaven."
The third doctor says, "I had a very successful practice on
Park Avenue, worked with pharmaceutical companies and showed hospitals how
to keep their costs at a minimum and their beds turning over.
St. Peter thinks for a minute and says,
"You may enter heaven, but only for four days.
