Two doctors and an HMO manager died and lined up at
the
pearly gates for
admission to heaven. St. Peter asked
them to identify
themselves. One
doctor stepped forward and said: "I was a pediatric
spine surgeon and
helped kids
overcome their deformities." St. Peter said,
"You can
enter." The second doctor said "I was a psychiatrist. I
helped people
rehabilitate
themselves." St. Peter also invited him in.
The third
applicant stepped forward and said, "I was
an HMO
manager. I
helped people get cost-effective health
care." St. Peter
said, "You can
come in too." But as the HMO manager walked by, St.
Peter added, "You
can stay three
days. After that, you can go to hell"
