Hehe this was pretty funny.
I'm sure the punchline is even funnier, but I'm too goddamn lazy for it.

Shot in the dark: "You have Cancer"

...but why would you need x-ray for that, clinics usually test blood for a higher than normal white blood cell count. #unlessimwrongaboutthecancer

Yeah, Leonardo got it right...definitely spend longer looking at this comic than I normally would, so that's a win for them, I guess...

There's more to cancer than white blood cell count. Bone marrow cancers like leukaemias are often diagnosed from blood tests but a small lung tumour wouldn't do anything to your blood.

Uh oh, someone's mixed up all the chemo drugs. Match the drug labels to the flasks using the following information:

Cladribine is blue.
Bleomycin and Estramustine are never stored in Erlenmeyer flasks.
Idarubicin is always stored next to Cladribine, but never besides Hydroxyurea.
Estramustine is not green or yellow.
Ixabepilone is not orange. It is always stored in a cylindrical flask.

We'll use this extra day to conquer the world with knowledge about Layton's private medical records.

OT: It took me some effort to solve this one, but I enjoyed it. Both a good joke and a good challenge. Yay.

Leukaemia is white blood cell count, lung cancer is chest X-ray followed by MRI, breast cancer is mammography and skin cancer is detected by taking a biopsy. This is all very simplified because I lack complete knowledge surrounding the procedures of detection and some of it might be wrong. However there are lots of ways to detect different kinds of cancer.

Also you were right with your solution. Good guess.

Oh yeah, the first word probably is "roast". My guess was "rotas" (still would have worked for the puzzle), I've been playing a scrabble game on my phone quite a bit lately so the words popping into my head are slightly less conventional...

Layton Bad! This will be the plotline of the next crossover with Phoenix Wright.

OT: Good strip, got a chuckle. Bet the joke has been done before but that matters not.

Ah, that punchline was well worth the work for it.

And yes, I heartily expect the next Professor Layton game to have Luke (or whatever the companion's name is) going "Yeah, *****, puzzles!"

"Objective: Rearrange the internal organs so that the surgeon may safely extract the tumor without damaging any vital body parts."

Gotta say, I wish all jumbles were this entertaining.

The doctor should have been Gregory House M.D. - He's about the only medical "professional" I can think of that would devise such a puzzle simply to piss people off.
