Welcome back to the Sawbones Society for the final episode!

Since you last saw these malpracticing medics, Nurse Clara Form has been away on holiday. Meanwhile, the remaining “professionals” become perplexed at the lack of fatalities.

Will the truth emerge or are the Sawbones in danger of contracting this “disease” themselves?
