Crankshaft by Tom Batiuk and Dan Davis for August 07, 2023

… and none speak or share information with the others.

WHO IS THIS GUY?! Forget him, what doctor is he seeing for his comic books?!

Oh, praise be, Ed is back! I’ll stick to my word and behave today and tomorrow.

Boy, Ed, that’s a lot of doctors. Better check your Medicare benefits!

I guess you could say I was destined to be a dermatologist.

Hello. I’m Dr. Lance Boyle.

A friend of mine is a dermatologist.

He started his career from scratch.

A dermatologist who treats boils without charging…

…would be a freelancer.

My dermatologist had a witch come in the other day,

He said she had a really bad case of hexima.

So nice how those buttheads sit there for hours, drinking coffee and jabbering on about nothing, taking up a table that could be generating more revenue and tips. Restaurant servers generally despise those type of people.

One doctor, 2 daily medications

I’m only 61, only a matter of time

He even has a doctor for his arachnoid bone.

You can tell that you’re old when doctors out number all others on your phone’s contacts list.

Got that right. GP, demo, urologist, and the list goes on and on

Insurance companies………….

If an Internist deals with internal medicine, is a Dermotologist an Externist?

I’ve mentioned this to my parents. You can tell how old you are by the number of different doctors you have.

One part that Ed shouldn’t need a doctor for is the part of his hair.

Join the club Ed

It seems to be a trend, Ed.

Atta boy, Crankshaft….moving on up…..

Who wants to bet there will be comic books in the doctors waiting room? Anyone?

From today’s Comics Curmudgeon:

Medical Economics: Crankshaft pines for the days of general practitioners, but his proctologist has gotten rich off this colossal [redacted]hole.

I’ve reached the point in life where my friends and I will suddenly find ourselves discussing our maladies (real or imagined!) Recently while in this type of conversation, another friend walked up and said “I thought that’s what you guys were talking about!”…I mean, you can talk about the weather only so much, right?? Lol!

And few doctors know what all the other doctors are doing which should be important and can also be be very dangerous…..

He means “physician.” Doctor is a degree not an occupation.

CRANKSHAFT’S BACK

“I used to go to a single doctor.”

“Now he’s on his third wife. Had to triple his fees to cover the alimony.”

I know the feeling. My whole working life it was get up, go to work and come home. Now I have an itinerary posted on the fridge so I don’t miss Dr appointments

Long time reader (or sufferer) of Funky and Crankshaft. I enjoy the comments.

A sure sign of getting old.

That’s how the system is nowadays.

Same problem…

Me too.

Haha! XD
