The Dakota Indians of North America passed on this piece of wisdom from generation to generation by word of mouth: "If you are riding a dead horse, the best things to do is dismount." In the corporate world, other things to be tried include the following:

Change riders

Appoint a committee to study the horse

Arrange to visit other sites to see how they ride dead horses

Change the form so it reads, "This horse is not dead."

Hire outside staff to ride the dead horse

Harness several dead horses together for increased speed and efficiency

Donate the dead horse to a recognized charity and deduct its full original cost

Declare that the dead horse has lower overhead, and is therefore most cost-effective

and of course, saving the best for last:

Promote the dead horse into a management position

Can you see how all of these directly relate to the medical field?!!!!

you forget Alpo.

I get the joke but I see only 2 that might be used. What good is a dead horse to anybody except a glue factory?
