In a stunning announcement, Prime Minister Bob Johnson declared that he has discovered a foolproof way to keep doctors in work – make them work until they’re old enough to collect their pensions!
Critics are calling the proposed change unfair, but Johnson insists that it’s the only way to ensure that doctors stay in the field for the long haul. “Think about it,” he said, “Doctors will have to keep working until they’re so old that they won’t have the energy to retire anyway. It’s genius!”
However, not everyone agrees with the PM’s logic. “This is a ridiculous proposal,” said Dr. Jennifer Lawrence. “By the time we’re old enough to retire, we’ll barely be able to hold a stethoscope, let alone perform surgeries.”
Johnson brushed aside the criticism, stating that doctors should feel lucky to have a job at all. “I mean, they get to wear scrubs to work every day – that’s pretty cool, right?”
As for the rest of the population, Johnson plans to implement a similar plan for all careers. “Why should doctors have all the fun?” he asked. “Let’s make everyone work until they’re old and gray. It’ll be like a national game of bingo!”
Only time will tell if Johnson’s proposed changes will stick, but one thing is certain – retirement just got a whole lot further away for everyone.
