      They had a device that could diagnose various illnesses simply by shoving 3 rods into your various orfices. That’s considerably more advanced than any medical tech we have today.

        We have no idea how accurate the diagnoses were though.

        It’s also possible that the rods were completely unnecessary, and they were there just as a “we have to make poor people healthcare worse than rich people healthcare” measure. You know, like the hospital equivalent to Spotify ads for Spotify.
