A nurse in a hospital is pushing a wheelchair that contains a crash test dummy. She crosses paths with two patients who look disapprovingly at the crash test dummy getting care. The crash test dummy has a sling and a cast.
Care is limited in hospitals, and so it's odd that a nurse is spending time tending to a crash test dummy instead of human patients.
Why is the crash test dummy getting medical attention? Why are the other patients angry at the nurse and crash test dummy?
I wish I had those knees.

A joke about old folks and body envy --- sometimes, people will see other people with physical characteristics they want and say/think "I wish I had those legs/arms/abs/etc.". But here, the old people are envious of a crash test dummy's knees, so the request comes across as one for a prosthetic knee replacement rather than something aesthetic.
