i read it more like the material world (clothing) having more value than human life. unless there is a star of david on the pocket which would read as; israel needs some medical attention. then again that star could be pentagonal star etc... how and where do you see blatant anti semitism on #9?
The two characters, with their exaggerated noses and eyebrows, appear to draw from anti-semitic cartoon conventions going back many decades. The doctor is using a stethoscope to check the patient's inside coat pocket, where his wallet might be, instead of his heart.
It seems pretty obvious to me. I wonder if any more overt elements, such as text or symbology, have been photoshopped out.
I get the part that the doctor is going for the inside pocket, but they're not obviously jewish. Here's the image for those of you wondering what we're discussing:
big nose is not a jewish monopoly you know...
french, turks, italians, arabs (brothers of jews), greeks, romanians, armenians, spanish etc.. all can have big noses. i think you are being over sensetive.
but i didn't think of your angle of heart is where the wallet is. good one. .;.))).

I like this one:

how the hell did number 9 slip in there? blatant antisemitism!
It looks like a Doctor/Patient relationship to me. What makes you think that they're Jews?
