The phone rings and the lady of the house answers.
 
'Hello.' 'Mrs. Sanders, please.'
 
'Speaking.'
'Mrs. Sanders, this is Doctor James at Saint Agnes Laboratory. When your husband's doctor sent his biopsy to the lab last 
week, a biopsy from another Mr.  Sanders arrived as well. We are  now uncertain which one belongs to your husband. Frankly, 
either  way the results are not too  good.'
   
'What do you mean?' Mrs. Sanders asks nervously.  
   
'Well, one of the specimens tested positive for Alzheimer's and the other one tested positive for HIV. We can't tell which 
is which.'
   
'That's dreadful! Can you do the test again?' questioned Mrs. Sanders.  
   
'Normally we can, but  Medicare will only pay for these expensive tests once and once  only.'
   
'Well, what am I supposed to do now?'
   
'The folks at Medicare recommend that you drop your husband off somewhere in the middle of town. If he finds his way home, 
don't sleep with  him.'
