The phone rings and the lady of the house answers, "Hello."
"Mrs. Ward, please."
"Speaking."
"Mrs. Ward, this is Doctor Jones at the Medical Testing
Laboratory. When your doctor sent your husband's biopsy to
the lab yesterday, a biopsy from another Mr. Ward arrived
as well, and we are now uncertain which one is your
husband's. Frankly the results are either bad or
terrible."
"What do you mean?" Mrs. Ward asks nervously.
"Well, one of the specimens tested positive for Alzheimer's
and the other one tested positive for AIDS. We can't tell
which your husband's is."
"That's dreadful! Can't you do the test again?" questions
Mrs. Ward.
"Normally we can, but Medicare will pay for these
expensive tests only one time."
"Well, what am I supposed to do now?"
"The people at Medicare recommend that you drop your
husband off somewhere in the middle of town. If he finds
his way home, don't sleep with him."
