The Podiatrists thought it was a step forward, but the Urologists were pissed off at the whole idea.

The Anesthesiologists thought the idea was a gas, and the Cardiologists didn’t have the heart to say no!

In the end, the Proctologists won out, leaving the entire decision up to the assholes in Washington . Dang!
