In a highly-unusual move, The Nobel Assembly at the Karolinska Institutet has decided to award the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine jointly to:
KATALIN KARIKÓ
DREW WEISSMAN AND 100 OTHER WINNERS.
Because some worthy entrants would have been disappointed, even saddened, by not winning an award, the Nobel Assembly chose to follow the lead of the Advertising Industry.
Sven Svenson, a Nobel Spokesbot said in a statement, "Why should we give one award for medicine? There are so many doctors, so much medicine and so many worthy people, this year we decided to give not just one award, but one-hundred.
Plus, in lieu of raises and a rational set of standards, trophies represent a viable alternative.
"Every piece of artwork deserves a place on the fridge, even if we don't own a fridge," said one recipient.
Herewith, a partial listing of winners for the Nobel Prize in Medicine:
Dr. David Blumenthal, a Bridge Mix, New Jersey pediatrician, won his first Nobel, for giving lollipops to children who had to get shots and vaccinations.
Dr. Liza Natale, a New York, Ear, Nose and Throat specialist received her first Nobel for "meritorious use of tongue depressors."
