53 Doctor Jokes: The 2017 “Fidget Spinners & AI Revolution” Edition

In 2017, the medical world was divided between high-tech AI diagnostic tools and the low-tech obsession with spinning pieces of plastic. Doctors were treating “Spinner Thumb” while trying to explain to their boards why they needed a million-dollar algorithm to do what a stethoscope used to. It was the year of “Blockchain Health” and the realization that your smart-fridge probably knew more about your cholesterol than your GP.
