A four-panel comic. Panel 1: A red-haired doctor in glasses and a white coat holds up a small bottle and announces, "Here it is! A cure for bone cancer, and not a moment too soon." Panel 2: A bald man lying in a hospital bed replies, "But... I have lung cancer." Panel 3: The doctor, now looking slightly uneasy, says, "That's okay. I believe I have a workaround." Panel 4: A second medical worker, seen from behind holding a chart, asks the doctor, "When did he die?" The doctor answers, "Around when we turned his lungs to bone." The joke: she 'cured' the bone cancer by converting the patient's lungs into bone, killing him. Votey (aftercomic): A wide-eyed, shocked-looking man adds, "Specifically, when I jammed the femur in his throat" — clarifying the grotesque method of the cure.
