Summary

This quote humorously highlights the issue of lack of affordability in healthcare. The individual, unable to afford a necessary surgery, goes to the doctor seeking an alternative solution. The doctor, instead of addressing the financial constraint or exploring other options, nonchalantly suggests tampering with the X-rays as a way to deceive the medical condition. This sarcastic comment sheds light on the challenges of accessing healthcare due to financial limitations, ultimately revealing the absurdity of a system where solutions may be sought through manipulation rather than addressing the fundamental issue.
