A construction worker walked up to the reception desk at a doctor's office and was asked why he was there.
"I have shingles," he replied.
The receptionist asked for his name, address and insurance information and told him to have a seat.
Ten minutes later, a nurse called his name, took him back to the examining room and asked him again why he came to the office. Again, he answered, "I have shingles." She asked him some medical questions and told him to stay there until he could be seen.
A short while passed, and a different nurse entered the room, took his blood pressure and temperature, and asked him to change into a gown. She told him the doctor would see him shortly.
