Staghorn follows his nose
Professor Inglebert Struvite Staghorn of the UCEM Inquisitorial Disciplinary Committee has once again been called into action by the Society for the Prevention of Surgery. He has been tasked with the investigation of reports of SPS members disappearing for excessive lengths of time during operations. The extent of the problem has been difficult to quantify given that the presence or absence of members of the SPS often goes unnoticed anyway (unless they’re eating raisins).
However, Staghorn followed his nose to the operating theatre toilets and found this:
I think you’ll agree, this case is closed.
Meanwhile, the Inquisitorial Disciplinary Committee has tasked UCEM scientists with developing appropriate punishments for fondling members that continue to experience academic strife in waiting room medicine despite all the molly coddling that UCEM provides. Staghorn feels that he needs a stick as big as Prof Stickler‘s carrot. Early studies using gummy bears in place of doctors appear promising:
