Not a good sign

this looks worse than a case of COVID

“We just gotta see this guy!”

In the Future, those doctors, nurses, and lab techs will recall with pride in media interviews, “WE WERE THERE.” As yet, the question is, What’s There there?

Looks like he won the big Lotto. Too bad.

Can we have a drum roll, please?

During my exit physical in the Navy they were fascinated when listening to my chest. So much so that they started having all the staff come in and listen. When I tried to ask what the %#*& was going on the corpsman shushed me. I had to grab the stethoscope away and demand to know. Turns out I have mitral valve prolapse and because of my (then) slim physique it was easy to hear the swish-click sound it made.

You always want your Doc to yawn when looking at your chart.

I’ve had 2 occasions when docs asked if they could bring in other medical personnel to see me because they had never seen what I had. Not exactly something one should aspire to.

Yep! He really is still alive…

Everyone in the medical profession should know what it’s like to be a patient.

His name’s about to be immortalized. Him, not so much.

We’re not judging you, by the way. We just find you interesting.

It can’t be too bad. Nobody is wearing a mask.

Fascinating. . .

Confidential — of course.

Well, that’s better than seeing vultures circling above you. Or is it?

My late wife’s daily rounds in ICU looked like that

When I was upset with my doctor’s opinion, I asked him if he minded that I get a second one. He then gave me a second opinion.

Even worse is when they all reach for their cameras and start videotaping…

Seeing is believing!

From the expressions on the lab staff’s faces, I don’t think he going to like the results.

They’ve got an office pool going . . . trying to see who hit the jackpot.

Bad news? or strange?

The LAST thing you want: a fascinoma!

…….but first can we see your insurance card!

Uh oh…doesn’t look like good news, does it?!

I love Herman. So much humor often in a single panel.

It’s the guy with AIDS, COVID and Monkeypox simultaneously

This reminds me of my thyroid biopsy… there were so many people in the room, I almost asked them if I should wait in the hall, to give them room to get in.
