Is This Going Around...................?

A few years back my Dad need bypass surgery to repair 5 blockages near his heart. Even though this is major surgery it is not as rough as it once was. If fact, it is now pretty commonplace in the country and probably the industrialized nations of the world. My Dad did well and has recovered nicely.

After his surgery has was lying in his hospital bed once day. His doctor was going to be off that day. Some other doctor was going to come around and check on my Dad.

This new doctor came in the room and introduced himself. He looked at my Dad’s charts and seemed quite pleased. Dad was really doing well. The doctor asked my Dad a few questions. He was steadily writing on the chart as my Dad talked. All of a sudden the doctor stopped and looked down at my Dad.

He asked my Dad, “Are you from Morganza?”
My Dad answered, “Yes, I am. Why do you ask that?”
“Do you know Karl Dorman?”, the doctor aksed.
“Why yes,” my Dad retorted, “He’s my next door neighbor.”
“Well, he’s in here for the same thing you are. Is this going around the neighborhood or something?”
