I appreciate that they’re all reruns, but I do wish they wouldn’t repeat them quite so close together. This one was just shown last Sunday, November 22, 2020 (https://www.gocomics.com/herman/2020/11/22?ct=v&cti=59473).
In Puerto Rico they give the lab results to you, and you can take them to the doc of your choice. This saved 2 weeks for me. I recently got lab results that indicated cancer. I called the doc’s office that ordered the test. I couldn’t see him for 2 weeks. I called the states and got an appt. 2 days later. Waiting for doctors to interpret your results is wasted time. If you have the internet, you can figure out what you lab results mean.
I had a rather “persnickety” step father who was in and out of hospitals and ERs – sometimes valid; often times not. Once, when he was in the hospital and couldn’t get the nurses to answer his persistent call button pushes, he called the ER to get some help!

It looks like this was drawn pre-HIPAA. Now hospitals can’t say things to random strangers.

Old joke, but still funny.

This seems to be a rerun, but very ironic given the current situation.

Wasn’t this posted fairly recently?

I think I’ll try that next time I’m in a hospital.
