A man was in a terrible accident at home and his penis was mangled and torn from his body. His doctor assured him that modern medicine could give him back his member, but that he was not covered by insurance at work, nor the Government insurance and his private health insurance wouldn't cover the surgery as, luckily, he was not incontinent and with his testes intact he would not suffer premature hypogonadism and, as he had a vasectomy the operation would not be considered a medical necessity, but "cosmetic". The doctor said that the cost would be $5000 for "small", $7500 for "medium", and $10,000 for "large." The man was sure he would want a medium or a large, but the doctor urged him to talk it over with his wife before deciding. The man called his wife on the phone and explained their options. The doctor came back into the room and found the man looking quite dejected. "Well, what have the two of you decided?" he asked. The man answered, "She'd rather remodel the kitchen!" |
