Good News and Bad News....

After submitting to X rays, EKGs, MRIs, blood tests, and a host of other diagnostics, the anxious patient waited for the doctor's opinion.
"Well Ellie," the physician began, "I have good news and bad news."
"So, what's the good news, already?"
"My daughter has been accepted to the Harvard School of Medicine."
"Yes, that's wonderful! And the bad news?"
"You're going to pay for it."
