Hot off the presses!

This news story just came in over the wire...

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Doctors researching patient perceptions at the University of California at San Francisco are studying an innovative method of informing patients of their test results.

Patients who normally would have received negative biopsy results in a personal visit with a doctor are now getting those same results in a telephone call from the governor. But, the magical part is that the governor doesn't have to spend valuable lawmaking hours calling up patients personally. Using sophisticated audio recording techniques the researchers are able to playback a clip from the hit movie kindergarten cop where Governor Schwarzenegger proclaims that "its not a tumor."

Many proponents of the technology are pleased that a technique developed by prank phone callers was finally benefiting society, while renowned expert in caregiver-patient relations, Dr. Patch Adams, was just pleased that, "people are finally listening to the radical ideas I was spewing out way back in ninny eight. Now, if people would just go out and see my new movie "The Night Listener," there would be a lot less of that AIDS going round."
