Medical Breakthroughs

By grrlscientist on May 6, 2008.

A friend sent me this story about medical breakthroughs enjoyed in other countries. I thought you would also enjoy reading about this since, of course, American comes out on top!

According to an Israeli doctor; "Medicine in my country is so advanced that we can take a kidney out of one man, put it in another, and have him looking for work in six weeks."

Then a German doctor remarked; "That is nothing, we can take a lung out of one person, put it in another, and have him looking for work in four weeks."

A Russian doctor replied; "In my country, medicine is so advanced that we can take half a heart out of one person, put it in another, and have them both looking for work in two weeks."

A Texan doctor, not to be outdone, boasted; "You guys are way behind, we recently took a man with no brains out of Texas, put him in the White House for eight years, and now half the country is looking for work."
