The question of whether all the king's horses and all the king's men were capable of offering the correct medical assistance that Humpty Dumpty needed after falling from a wall has been raised by medical specialists in Canada. Writing in the Canadian Medical Journal about head injuries featured in nursery rhymes, Sarah Giles and Sarah Shea of Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, asked, 'What sort of emergency medical services training did these first responders have?' They said the presence of all the king's men also suggested 'a shocking lack of crowd control'.

As for 'Hush-a-bye-baby', they questioned why the baby was up a tree in the first place and said that child protection services 'should have been called to interrogate the child's guardian, who was obviously failing to provide a safe environment'.
