Three people were standing in front of the Pearly Gates waiting to get in. St. Peter approached the first person, who was a pediatrician, and said," Come right in. You have been a good doctor and helped many children while you were on earth. Go and see the mansion that has been prepared for you." Then St. Peter said to the second person, who was a neurologist, "Come right in. You treated your patients with patience and respect and helped them cope with difficult problems. Go and see the mansion that has been prepared for you" Finally, St. Peter approached the last person, who was the administrator of an HMO, spoke to him quietly and locked the gates, leaving the man on the outside. The two doctors asked St. Peter what he had said to the HMO administrater. St. Peter answered, "I told him to go and see his primary care physician, fill out the appropriate forms and come back in three days." Mary Sheehan
