HMO Manager

Two doctors and an HMO manager died and lined up at the pearly gates for   admission to heaven.

St. Peter asked them to identify themselves.  

One doctor stepped forward and said, "I was a pediatric spine surgeon and helped kids overcome their deformities."  

St. Peter said, "You can enter."  

The second doctor said, "I was a psychiatrist. I helped people rehabilitate themselves."  

St. Peter also invited him in.  

The third applicant stepped forward and said, "I was an HMO manager and   helped people get cost-effective health care."  

St. Peter said, "You can come in too."  

As the HMO manager walked by, St. Peter quietly added, "But you can only stay three days... After that you can go to hell."
