John woke up yesterday to find himself in a hospital bed, all bandaged up, and with a doctor standing over him. He asked where he was, and the doctor replied that John had been in a serious car accident and was in the hospital. The doctor went on to describe many of the injuries and how they had repaired almost everything. Saddly a key anitomical piece was missing. The paramedics, troopers and many volunteers had searched for hours, but they could not find it.
The doctor then informed John that with modern medical technology they could replace it, and it would work better than the original. The cost is $1,000 per inch, and they had already contacted John's insurance company. They insurance company said they would pay up to $9,000 for that type of elective procedure.
John was extremely excited at the thought, but the doctor quickly started talking about options. "John" he said, "You need to discuss this with your wife. You had five inches before, and she may be excited about the extra four, or she may be pleased with the original five and a good vacation." He advised John to discuss it with his wife and get back to him.
Last night, after supper, the doctor was making his rounds and stopped in John's room. John seemed somewhat down, but that is normal for victims of major trauma. After some chit chat the doctor asked John if he had spoken with his wife. John said "yes." Doc asked what the decission was, and John quietly replied "We're getting granite counter tops."
