  1. These are all pretty funny, with some definitely based on fact. With the first one from ’55, I might have switched out the question to “Are you in the network, and if not, what the hell are you doing in my room?” Love #2 by Joe Zeis, especially the patient’s reaction. #6 about the Blue Cross card seems bad; as if he needs insurance worries on top of THIS pain and suffering. “Nurse? More morphine please!”
