A doctor, a nurse, and the top executive of an HMO have all died and are in
line together at the Pearly Gates. St. Peter speaks with them and asks what good
each has done in their life.
Doctor: ”I have devoted my life to the sick and needy and have had a part in
caring for, and healing thousands of poor people.”
St. Peter: ”That’s great. Go ahead in to heaven. And what about you, dear?”
Nurse: ”I’ve supported the good doctor and his patients my entire life as an
adult.”
St. Peter: ”Wonderful. Please proceed in with the doctor. And what about
you?”
Health Maintenance Organization Director: ”I was the president of a very
large HMO and was responsible for the healthcare of millions of people all over
the country.”
St. Peter: ”Oh, I see. Please go in…But you can only stay two nights!”
