− | + | {{w|Capri Sun}} is a popular juice concentrate drink that comes in a soft, flat, rectangular bag with a foil-sealed port you pierce with a straw in order to sip the juice. Saline bags, used in hospitals and other medical applications, are also soft, flat, rectangular bags with the end of an IV drip connection tube sticking out. {{w|Saline (medicine)}} solutions are usually about 0.90% sodium chloride (table salt) in water in order to be isotonic to blood, so would taste fairly salty compared to a Capri Sun, which is mostly sugar water. For comparison, assuming the fluid in a Capri Sun pouch weighs about 6.5625 oz, based on [https://www.aqua-calc.com/calculate/food-volume-to-weight/substance/capri-blank-sun-coma-and-blank-fruit-blank-juice-blank-drink this site] giving 8.75 oz for a cup, the typical Capri Sun is about 0.00008% salt by weight. | |
− | + | The title text is pointing out that mistakenly drinking saline ''out'' of the bag like a Capri Sun is better than a Capri Sun being put ''into'' a patient's body in place of a saline IV drip, as that would endanger the recipient.[https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-47623816] The speaker appears to be using this as a justification for their actions, since their incompetence was, while inexcusable, at least not actually deadly to anyone. The security mentioned in the title text are likely not impressed by this, as hospitals are places where the act of pretending to be a doctor has the potential for many dangerous outcomes. | |
− | + | The comic arguably functions as a continuation of [[451: Impostor]] and [[699: Trimester]]. | |
