Synopsis

The episode begins with Squidward trying to decide which nose he should get because he is going to get a nose job.  While caught up in himself, Squidward is interupted by SpongeBob on his unicycle.  Reluctantly, Squidward allows SpongeBob to come with him.  SpongeBob lets Squidward ride with him to the hospital.  Squidward goes into his room with SpongeBob closely following.  SpongeBob realizes how drab the room is and brightens it up with plushes and flowers.  Irritated, Squidward yells at SpongeBob and teels him to go volunteer to be a candy striper.  SpongeBob grabs his uniform and eats the literal candy strings on the uniform.  A couple of doctors passing by see SpongeBob in his stripeless white shirt and mistake him for a doctor.  They tell him to come along and help them.  They bring SpongeBob into a room with a catfish.  The catfish tells them in a gravelly voice that his throat hurts.  SpongeBob reaches into the fish's neckfold and finds a clump of dirt.  He then reaches into the catfish's mouth and pulls out some car-keys.  SpongeBob then explains how the fish is a bottom-feeder and how the fish proably ate the keys in a search for food.  SpongeBob also says that this happens to his best friend, Patrick, all the time.  SpongeBob is then moved onto another room with an athlete with broken legs.  The athelete asks if he will be able to run in an upcoming marathon.  One doctor begins to say no, but SpongeBob insists he can fix it.  SpongeBob grabs a nearby skeleton model and shoves it inside of the patient.  The patients legs are healed and he runs out of his room.  The two doctors are amazed!  They bring SpongeBob into the final room.  The room contains a deflated Mrs. Puff inside of an Iron Lung.  SpongeBob mistakes the Lung for a submarine and hops ontop of it.  He starts pushing and pressing levers and buttons and the Lung streaks down the hall-way.  It crashes into the end and shoots out a puffed up puff.  She thanks him but says he still doesn't have a liscense.  The doctors are befuddled and allow SpongeBob to perform a surgery.  The surgery ends up being Squidward.  SpongeBob tries several differnet noses but Squidward doesn't like any of them.  SpongeBob then makes his nose normal again, but says he needed the rest of his body to make it.  Squidward then says to the female nurses that he's on the market and single.
