A man was terribly overweight, so his doctor put him on a diet. "I want you to eat regularly for 2 days, then skip a day, and repeat this procedure for 2 weeks. The next time I see you, you'll have lost at least 5 pounds." When the man returned, he shocked the doctor by losing nearly 20 pounds. "Why, that's amazing!" the doctor said, "Did you follow my instructions?" The man nodded. "I'll tell you though, I thought I was going to drop dead that 3rd day." "From hunger, you mean?"
"No, from skipping."
Three health care professionals find themselves at the Pearly Gates. Saint Peter asks the first, "Why do you belong here?" The first replies, "I was a great surgeon. I have saved countless lives." "Welcome," says Saint Peter, "We've been expecting you." Saint Peter then asks the second, "Why do you belong here?" The second answers, "I was a family practitioner. I treated young and old alike. I made them well again." "Welcome," says Saint Peter, "We've been expecting you." Finally, Saint Peter asks the third, "Why do you belong here?" The third says, "I ran an HMO. I helped allow for thousands to receive medical care." "Okay, come in" replies Saint Peter, "But you can only stay a day and a half."
