The Doctor will see you now…
This
just in —
Medical
Clowning degrees are now being offered in New Zealand.
I’m
pretty sure that this announcement’s timing with the U.S. rollout of the Affordable
Care Act is purely coincidental.
Anyway,
those college PR folks are having a field day right now, I’m sure —
Sign up at a Kiwi University today
and learn how…
To fit more clowns on a gurney!
Perform outrageous pratfalls with
oxygen tubes (SO much better than the
old banana peel trick)!
Juggle urine samples without a
spill!
Never mind that University of
Sheffield study where 100 percent of
the kids polled reported that they disliked clowns as part of hospital décor
—
Psshaw!
Those were persnickety British
children, after all.
But here’s
my burning question as the cost of medical care makes headlines every single day…
Hey,
Bozo —
If you creep
me out and cause a hypertensive stroke, or…
Freak out
my kid and trigger an emergency coulrophobia treatment plan...
Are you
still billing me?
Because
that is SO not funny.
Not
funny at all.
PROMPT: Give yourself a brainstorming
workout by detailing a list of required medical clowning classes. Or, for those
of you who would rather have a 50-needle-bearing physician enter your hospital
room than one creepy guy in makeup — a horror tale would be fabulous!
