Close to Home by John McPherson for June 11, 2023

Are you trying to knock her out. Or just drive her crazy.

No no no not just no but HELL NO!!

That’ll be more painful than the operation.

Oh no!!! It’s the ‘double-whammy’. She won’t survive the operation because she’ll be bored to death, and…..worse than that, Dalcon has appeared on the scene. RUN, BLEEB, RUN. (Like Gump)

Guaranteed side effect: Extreme nausea.

I have a show on my DVR that I have tried to watch all the way through. I’ve turned it on about 6 or 7 times, but haven’t seen the end yet.

Wouldn’t it have been more accurate to have said, “We’re out of anesthetics.”?

Dalcon is dangerously close!!!

and just in case that don’t work, we’ve got a mallet ready to smack you to sleep. ;)

Suddenly I feel so much better!

It’s miraculous! Suddenly, I no longer need this surgical procedure on my… upper flermin, or whatever!

I’m gonna be leaving now… I’ll just leave this backwards gown on the bed in my room,aaaand… ThankYouAllSoMuchSendTheBillToMyInsuranceCompanyBye!

Oh, no. It’s been a lean week for poor Bleeb, and now this: a dance recital, more scrubs and Dalcon nearby. Ugh!

It’s true, about medicine shortages! How long is this gonna be?

Please just kill me. STAT!

I can feel my eyelids getting heavy already

I think it would work better on me if it was a golf game. TV Golf can knock me out in 15 minutes flat.

Isn’t it strange how “issue” has replaced “problem?”

Bring in the Three Stooges and their “anesthesia”.

Dalcon’s so mad he’s turning colors!

ha, I’ll pass.

Dalcon!!!!!! Get away from the machine that goes “ping!” It’s expensive! Have mercy, Bleeb! Wheel the nice lady out of there. And run over their toes while you’re at it! :)

i’d need anesthesia to watch that

It would appear they also lack an anesthesia machine.

Are you trying to knock her out or run her out?

Myneesis sounds like a medical condition.1

Hold on, let me get my phone. I need this video for my “Great Malpractice Lawsuits” reel.

This should take 10 minutes to knock her out, even though the doctor previously sedate.

Why isn’t the media guy in scrubs, I ask ya?…

Can I have a fifth of Jack instead?

And this will help HOW?

This is a “Stepin Fetchit” moment…“Feets, don’t fail me, now!”

Just have Dalcon bonk her on the head.
