"Mrs Ward, please."
"Speaking," she replies.
" Mrs Ward, this is Doctor Jones at the Medical Testing Laboratory. When your Doctor sent your husband's samples to the lab, the samples from another Mr. Ward were sent as well, and now we're uncertain as to which ones are your husband's. Frankly, it is either bad or terrible."
"What do you mean?" Mrs Ward asks.
"Well, one Mr. Ward has tested positive for Alzheimer's disease and the other positive for AIDS. We can't tell which your husband's is."
"That's terrible! Can't we just do the test over?" questions Mrs Ward.
"Normally, yes. But Medicare won't pay for these expensive tests more than once."
"And? What the hell am I supposed to do now?" she enquires, very upset.
"The people at Medicare recommend that you drop your husband off in the middle of town. If he finds his way home, don't sleep with him."
