'Urgent' addresses complex social issues, specifically gendered health inequality, through unconventional means by depicting a scenario in a chaotic hospital emergency room where the triviality of a man's injury—being bitten on the finger by a catfish—becomes a source of laughter, shedding light on inequalities within the healthcare system. This collision of tragedy and humor resonates strongly with contemporary visual culture and the female experience, as it incorporates elements of irony, wit, and satire, serving as a coping mechanism for many.
