    No, not my childhood.

    inb4 Tetris = architecture failure.

  2. Ah, but the question is, was that really happening when Dr. Mario was first made?

    If so, then why the hell not. That’s hilarious.

  3. sailoryue says:

    if you listen to the dr mario song by brentalfloss, he can cure anything so long as its fever or the chills

    Take off your pants
    okay now lets see
    turn your head and cough
    okay now do me

  4. mr. man says:

    I wonder if anybody knows that it’s a jar.

  5. Jake J. says:

    If you’ve read Cracked sometime in the past year, you know that this is true. AKA, corporations literally pay hospitals to use their products even if the disease doesn’t pertain to the medicine’s array of uses. And they use the most expensive, most cost effective, and least effective method to solve things. Something with CAT scans and MRIs.

    And we’re not a capitalist society. lol

    • Voice of reason says:

      I’m just astounded that you REALLY think that doctor’s are able to get hold of a MRI or CAT scan in overstretched hospitals without a bloody good reason. It’s hard enough to get access when it’s seriously indicated. Whatever hospital you attend must be the envy of the entire country.

  6. Alyssa says:

    How about you sit through years of biochemistry, cell biology, physiology, and pharmacology, then spend a few years on the wards, and then when you actually have something like an understanding of pharmaceuticals start talking out your a** about ‘the evils of western medicine throwing pills at people.’

    • The420Dwarf says:

      Yeah cause that never happens

    • Voice of reason says:

      Agreed.
      And ironically, they’re probably the same people who harass their doctors wanting antibiotics for a flu virus.

      • fshrman says:

        People actually do that? I’m no doctor, but even I know that antibiotics only work on bacteria.

        • Xweetara says:

          Well, you’re smarter than a good portion of the world. Good for you ^^

        • Voice of reason says:

          scarily often. people dr shop until they find someone who’ll give them what they want. and having gone to the doctor with a problem, they often don’t want to be told (as they often are) just go home and rest.

    • cjdog says:

      When your entire field of study is based more on its profit then actually curing a specific disease (where’s the money if there’s nothing and nobody to cure?), it may be an indication that something is a bit off…

      • Voice of reason says:

        i must have missed the profit lectures somewhere between ethics, guest lecturers from doctors without boarders, diagnostics and the ‘you’ll have to work 36 hour unpaid overtime shifts because if you’re not there we’ll be understaffed and someone might die’ talk. By the end of my first year most of my year level had already done a stint overseas or in rural areas volunteering with aid organisations. If you join medicine for easy profit you’re a moron. yes it can be well paid, but there’s nothing easy about it.

    • sluttyfartblast says:

      Yeah, and at the end of the day, realise that placebos are actually more effective than the toxic drugs, even more so when the recipient believes they’re getting the real deal. Double-blind my arse! The only reason the toxin out-performs the placebo in some cases is because the recipient experiences adverse side-effects, and therefore believes they’re getting the actual “medicine” and according to their beliefs, so it is.

  7. NYI says:

    Actually, I’m wondering why a plumber is a Doctor all of a sudden.

  8. marmotgirl says:

    I love that game! I still play it.

  9. Arix says:

    Yes. Matter of fact, quite literally everyone has thought of this and made this joke.

  10. wintermint says:

    So Dr. Mario and Dr. House must have gone to the same medical school.

  11. Martipar says:

    American medicine, don’t drag us into your crap healthcare system ways.

  12. Anonymous says:

    Bad Argument hippie

  13. phades says:

    Why hasn’t someone photochopped in House into this yet?

  14. h2ocean says:

    If Mario practiced alternative medicine, would he just through sorcery and magic at the viruses and hope the placebo effect works in time?

  15.   says:

    Weren’t those pills megavitamins? Or was he just doing the Cave Johnson thing by throwing science at the wall?
