Cue the Black Knight, “It’s just a flesh wound.”

Socialized Medicine costs an arm and a leg.

Studies show pobbles are actually happier without their limbs.

This was covered in the 1971 Paddy Chayefsky movie, The Hospital.
It's been all too common for decades.

The hospital in my town has a very bad reputation. I drove 20 miles to a different hospital when I had appendicitis. I didn’t trust my hospital to take out the right organ.

[arthurus]

Socialized Medicine there so it’s all okay.

So, this is why NHS was so big on trans mutilation.

[Honest Nigerian]

I guess it is an easy thing to do.
Kind of wonder if some kid went in for a sex-change and got a different kindvof amputation.
“Hey, I got stumpified!”

[caddie]

The patients would sue but...

They don't have a leg to stand on.

[Honest Nigerian]

Click and Clack might say “We stumped the chumps.”

[nuconvert]

I watch a number of British tv shows and amputees are showing up frequently in the past 2 yrs...usually women missing a forearm

[Jeff Chandler]

[monkeyshine]

God forbid anyone reading this needs an amputation, but if someone does take a magic marker and write “not this one, the other one!!!” on the good limb.

[LegendHasIt]

How many wieners did they intentionally cut off in that same time?

[lowbridge]

On the positive side, it’s free of charge.

[NWFree]

At least it was free for the patient due to the wonderful socialized medicine

[21twelve]

I read the excerpt aloud about how in British hospitals there have been 105 amputations done by mistake in three years.

My daughter exclaimed “By doctors!?”
