North Korean leader Kim Jong Eun visits an under-construction hospital. (KCNA)
The above photo, released by the North Korean state media agency KCNA on Jan. 20, purports to show leader Kim Jong Eun visiting a new hospital, Taesongsan General Hospital, being built by the national army.
Here’s what confused me, and what also confused the Atlantic’s David Graham, who pointed this out on Twitter, where it puzzled a number of other people: Why is that surgeon dressed like a chef? Or is he not meant to be a doctor at all and, moments after this photo was taken, perhaps laid a delicious spread of caviar and papayas across the operating table? Or maybe Pyongyang has started training surgeon-chef hybrids to save money?

Makes sense, they probably do a terrible job treating people and then cook them when they die.
This just in: Cannibalism legalized in North Korea to combat starvation
I could think of so many bad jokes to accompany that picture, but I don't even need to because it literally tells it's own joke.
Ok I'll break one out; I wonder if there's a Nurse Lovett on staff?
They use their army to build hospitals?
Genuinely looks like Kim Jong Un is about to order something
North Korea is so advanced they don't even need equipment.
Kim Jong Un: Food is the best medicine.

then they should really start feeding their people

Look at the Chefdoctor's face. He looks annoyed.
"Yes, I want Gujeolpan."
"I told you we do not have that here..."
I like how in every one of these images there's always a huge entourage behind dear leader
"Gross! Doc, why does my soup taste like a decaying cock!?"
"Ummm, how would I know..."
[QUOTE=Scrimp;39891476]They use their army to build hospitals?[/QUOTE]
practically 2/3rds of their population is enlisted in the military in some form or another, can't really do anything without it being attributed to wonderful leader's great army and their monumental efforts
as for the chef dude, it kind of makes sense as a medical hairnet. Maybe they've got a stock of paper chef hats and it's easier than manufacturing anything else
Here in the DPRK we have the worlds most advanced healthcare. Simply fall over dead and help feed our prosperous nation! LOOK! Here comes dear chef now!
They must really butcher people in that hospital.

Then Kim Jong Un walks through the door eating a fried finger on a stick, rubbing his stuffed belly. As he burps, the starving committee behind him bursts into applause and praises his healthy, leaderlike appetite.

But for people.
Well, they knew that Dear Leader and his enormous appetite were coming so they sent out the appropriate staff.

Eh, it's not THAT weird. The head gear for both surgeons and chefs is meant to keep your hair from dropping into whatever you're working on, be it food or a patient on the operation table. I guess the one he's wearing is just associated with chefs usually.
"I'm sorry but we'll have to amputate your leg."
They probably trained the surgeons with Surgeon Simulator.
As a doctor, I can confirm that this is proper surgical attire.
needs an orc as the 'doctor'.
There are food stains on the operating table.

Can't you guys see? Kim Jong Un doesn't want to destroy us all, he just wants to deploy his new sports bar chain across the globe and take over the the bar industry. Soon, we will all be graced by the gloriousness of Big Jong's Bar and Grill.

Maybe they're that short of medical supplies they've resorted to chef's whites for medical staff?
Probably still a better health system than America.
