"A Mad Look at Hospitals" delivers a sharp, satirical twist on pharmaceutical advertising, parodying Contact Cold Remedy print ads with biting humor. Cover by Tom Richmond, the issue uses its mock-ad format to skewer the profit-driven side of healthcare, all in a tone that’s darkly funny without ever losing its edge.
