On page 33 of the September 1979 issue of the National Lampoon
Magazine is a cartoon strip article entitled "No Laughing Matter, or,
One Man's Hernia-- A True Life Adventure" It is about a man who
gets a hernia and is advised by his co-worker that his window-washer
said you should go to Canada to have the operation.  His doctor doesn't
know anything about it, but his nurse refers him to Manny the druggist
who gives him the address of a ''Shouldice Hospital, Toronto Canada''.
Manny also gives him some advice such as ''Don't sit at the Jewish
table-- they tell jokes and you have to hold on to your incision''.
Anyway, he goes, gets fixed up, jokes around with the patients and
staff and in general has a good experience.

What better reference could you have?
