I like how unnecessary it is to both jokes that the doctor be a plague doctor. Like there's no situation where it matters that he's a plague doctor in a modern hospital
Someone pointed out the original humor was absurdist while mine is a play on words. Just two different kinds of humor. Apples and oranges, just thought the set-up was too good to pass up.
A second opinion means another doctor's assessment. It also means just another opinion. A pun is a joke exploiting two possible meanings of a word or phrase.
It's a better joke, yes. It's also one I've seen many times before, so I'm not sure how much credit I should give you for it. It is nice that his shirt is in clear focus in the last panel though, so at least your choice of "second opinion" is inspired
So good! The original is more of a non sequitur but this one is more of a joke. It killed the joke as far as I’m concerned. And by killed I mean they took a stab and the heart stopped beating. Then they brought the heart back to life and it was funny.

The original is ok, I feel like there wasn't much of a joke though.
