Re-Captioned New Yorker Cartoon #8

"Your loan came through, we'll go ahead and save your life now."


(This cartoon originally appeared in the 2-4-1950 issue of the New Yorker. The original caption was, "By the way-you for or against socialized medicine?")

You know, I have one from closer to today that has a similar line...except the doctor is standing by a credit card machine on the OR wall! Great minds.

My standing joke on operating room scenes: Don't worry, the doctor has the highest Doom score of anybody in the hospital.
