Medical Joke: Mixed Up Test Results

Mr. Smith goes to the doctor’s office to collect his wife’s test results.

Receptionist: "I’m sorry, sir, but there has been a bit of a mix-up and we have a problem. When we sent the samples from your wife to the lab, the samples from
another Mrs. Smith were sent as well and we are now uncertain which one is your wife’s. Frankly, that’s either bad or terrible."

Mr. Smith: "What do you mean?"

Receptionist: "Well, one Mrs. Smith has tested positive for Alzheimer disease and the other was positive for AIDS. We can’t tell which is your wife."

Mr. Smith: "That’s terrible! Can we do the test over?"

Receptionist: "Normally, yes. But you have an HMO, and they won’t pay for these expensive tests more than once."

Mr. Smith: "Well, what am I supposed to do now?"

Receptionist: "The doctor recommends that you drop your
wife off in the middle of town. If she finds her way home, don’t sleep with her."
