Learn English – Follow me, and your urologist will be buying himself a new yacht

jokesmeaning-in-context

The following1 is a retort from the dean of a hospital to her highly insubordinate lead-diagnostician.

In a little place called "follow me, and your urologist will be buying himself a new yacht."

The above diagnostician wants to know where the dean is planning to meet someone, and is known to use a private investigator to snoop on people without their consent.


The problem is, I have no idea what the above is supposed to mean. I know what a urologist is (but not who she would be referring to). I know what a yacht is (really expensive boat). I know the dean would want to do something to penalize the diagnostician in case he followed the dean. However, it sounds like the punishment for insubordination is something completely random.

What is it supposed to mean?

I don't know the series, and it is possible there is something in the story that it is referring to. But my guess is that it means "If you follow me, you are going to need some expensive surgery to the part of your body that urologists treat".
