So difficult to get an appointment with a Doctor

Elmer goes into the doctor's office and walks up to the receptionist.

"Hello, Elmer," she greets him, "What are you here for today?"

"Shingles."

"Oh, my goodness, Elmer! That's serious! Let's get you in a room and start some tests."

So, Elmer is taken to an examining room, has to strip down, get his blood pressure taken, weighed, chest thumped, blood and urine same taken, the whole rigamarole. Finally, the doctor says, "Well, Elmer, I don't see any sign of shingles. Why did you say you had shingles?"

"Because I do! They're out in the truck. I just want to know where I can store them until it stops raining and I can get up on the clinic roof!"

So the solution is to always tell them you have shingles......
