Budget cuts - a medical perspective



One of the best pieces of info. on the current Australian 2014 budget

The AMA has weighed in on Joe Hockey’s proposed changes Australia’s health services:

The Allergists voted to scratch them, but

The Dermatologists advised not to make any rash moves.

The Gastroenterologists had a sort of a gut feeling about it, but
The Neurologists thought he had a lot of nerve.

The Obstetricians felt he was labouring under a misconception.

Ophthalmologists considered the ideas short-sighted.

Pathologists yelled, "Over my dead body!" while
The Paediatricians said, "Oh, Grow up!"

The Psychiatrists thought the ideas were madness, while
The Radiologists could see right through them.

The Surgeons were fed up with the cuts and decided to wash their hands of
the whole thing.

The ENT specialists didn't swallow it, and just wouldn’t hear of it.

The Pharmacists 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 were pissed off at the whole idea.

The Anaesthetists thought the ideas were a gas, but

The Cardiologists didn't have the heart to say no.

In the end, the Proctologists won out, leaving the entire decision up to the
arseholes in parliament!
