The phrase “snitches get stitches” makes a lot of assumptions about the quality and expediency of healthcare. (lemmy.world)

For accuracy, it should be updated to read "Snitches will need stitches."

Need might be too strong. We would survive not stitching up many wounds that we currently do. It should probably be "snitches would probably like to have stitches".

"Snitches will find themselves in a situation in which stitches would be desirable"

There you go, that's the one.
