Proposed cuts to the NHS

[PhilusEstilius]

The Medical Association has weighed in on the new Prime minister's health care proposals.
The Alergists voted to scratch it, but the Dermatologists advised not to make any rash moves.
The Gastroenterologists had a sort of gut feeling about it, but the Neurologists thought the government had a lot of nerve.
The Obstetricians felt they were all labouring under a misconception.
Opthamologists considered the idea short-sighted.
Pathologists yelled "Over my dead body"!
The Psychiatrists thought the whole idea was madness, while the Radiologists could see right through it.
The Surgeons were fed up with the cuts and decided to wash their hands of the whole thing.
ENT specialists didn't swollow it, and just wouldn't hear of it.
The Pharmathologists thought it was a bitter pill to swallow, and the Plastic Surgeons said "This puts a whole new face on the matter...."
The Podiatrists thought it was a step forward, but the Urologists were pissed at the whole idea.
The Anaesthetists thought the whole idea was a gas, but the Cardiologists didn't have the heart to say no.
In the end, the Protologists won out, leaving the entire decision up to the a......s in Whitehall.

The dentists say it just sets their teeth on edge. Meanwhile, in the fringe-medicine field, the herbalists say this is a bitter draught, the acupuncturists are poking holes in the concept, the rolfers are massaging the numbers, while the chiropractors are making adjustments. Everyone in the aromatherapy field says that it just stinks.

The radiologists saw through the whole sorry mess, and the nurses cared quite a lot, whilst the hospital porters just got carried away... eventually. As for the administrators, they just couldn't make it add up.
