The Agony of Overcompensation

Dr. Reginald P. Bottomsworth, renowned surgeon and aficionado of unnecessarily complex procedures, has found himself in a bit of a pickle.

It seems his latest patient, a humble chicken, has developed a rare case of "Fowl Play," a condition where the chicken's internal organs are in a state of constant, chaotic motion.

The only cure for this affliction is a highly specialized, 17-step surgery that involves 14 unnecessary incisions, 7 redundant blood transfusions, and a precisely calibrated system of pulleys and levers.

But wait, there's more! Dr. Bottomsworth's surgical team has just discovered that the chicken's condition is actually caused by a rare side effect of "Cluckin'-Aid," a popular new medication.
