DR. DELINQUENT

Comes now a doctor’s significant other to inform me that the hilarious hijinks of our dignified medical professionals that I described Friday were, in truth, “really tame.”

In fact, it seems one august Omaha physician was actually a juvenile delinquent. He used to blow up neighborhood mailboxes with cherry bombs. Upon detonation, the gang would then scatter and wait for the uproar.

This physician-to-be at least had a conscience, and it bothered him so badly he confessed. He then fingered the other kids involved. They were all appropriately punished and there were no repeat incidents. And so was born . . . the HMO.

Aha! No doubt he’s now an expert witness against his brethren for those ever-popular malpractice attorneys?

Methinks nada.

Prayer request: We may kid about them, but we really are grateful for the medical professionals and technology at work today to relieve the ulcerative colitis suffered by a good friend, Randy. If his surgery results in a permanent colostomy, so be it. We just ask for relief, peace and renewal for him and his family. Lord, use this trial to teach them Your ways and show them how much You love them. Extra-special touches of grace for his wife, Connie, too: she’s a wonderful servant of the Savior. (Psalm 119:28)
