When I first saw this, I thought, "This is the horrible sort of low-end treatment our healthcare system is bringing us to - where we get surgery at the mall." And now I think, "No, we're not headed in a direction that's this nice."

I got my tumor removed in the divorce court.
Who is Claire?

Aha, now I realize this takes knowledge of American shopping malls, maybe even knowledge of east coast American shopping malls.

Claire's is a jewelry store chain that pierces a lot of teenager and pre-teen ears. Some people think Claire's does too much with all their fifteen-year-old staffers piercing thirteen-year-old customer ears. But it is a tiny bit funny to think of them telling some eighteen-year-old manager, "Yeah, you can do appendixes, too."

Thing is, although the staff are young and underpaid at Claire's I do think they are competent at what they do (which is not appendixes).
Thanks for explaining.
