Football is a pretty big deal in Mexico, as you'll see from this hospital pic...

Of all the days to have surgery in Mexico…

The image features two lads watching the match while wearing scrubs, even though a team of surgeons operate on a patient just a few feet away. There’s a time and a place for watching football, but JOE's conscience tells us this isn’t one of them.
