An MC patient goes to see her doctor, and explains that the prescription he gave her at her last visit was not helping a bit - she was still having severe diarrhea, many times a day. "Please help me out, doctor", she said, "I'm house-bound, like this".
The doctor furrows his brow, thinks for a second, and begins writing. After he finishes filling the third piece of paper with his scribbling, the woman asks, "what kind of prescription is that? I've never seen one so long". "Oh this is not a prescription", he says, "it's a list of all the public restrooms in this part of the city.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.

MEDICARE COVERAGE IN A NUTSHELL
The phone rings and the lady of the house answers, "Hello."
"Mrs. Boudreaux, please."
"Speaking."
"Mrs. Boudreaux, this is Doctor LeBlanc at Saint Agnes Laboratory. When
your doctor sent your husband's biopsy to the lab yesterday, a biopsy
from another Mr. Boudreaux arrived as well, and we are now uncertain
which one is your husband's. Frankly the results are either bad or
terrible."
"What do you mean?" Mrs. Boudreaux asks nervously.
"Well, one of the specimens tested positive for Alzheimer's and the
other one tested positive for MC. We can't tell which is your
husband's."
"That's dreadful! Can't you do the test again?" questioned Mrs. Boudreaux.
"Normally we can, but Medicare will only pay for these expensive tests
one time."
"Well, what am I supposed to do now?"
"The people at Medicare recommend that you drop your husband off
somewhere in the middle of town. If he finds his way home, build another bathroom. You'll need it.
