Our Answer to Medical critics

In light of the criticism of Gilbertopia that the government does not provide any funding for medical research and training, Gilbert has declared a new Medicare and Medicaid programme.

In this programme, our nurses are now taught how to operate hypodermic needles. They get all their practise from state sponsored oranges! That's right, trainee nurses first learn how to use needles by practising on oranges. What a wonderful development from simply hit-and-miss trial by fire, on-real-live-patient mass poking that we normally do.

They are also taught that hypodermic needles are supposed to be hypo-dermic, which means before the dermis. That's true right? I mean, if hypo- means before or less, and epidermis is the layer of skin UNDER the dermis, than the hypodermic needle pokes above the skin.

So, as consequence, our patients are not getting any better, but just look at those healthy oranges!

Beautiful!
