Herman by Jim Unger for March 06, 2024

In return, I want free medical.

Also, a comedian is going to talk about your x-rays.

I was in a medical journal in the 80’s. I had chronic appendicitis for 6 months. My baffled internist and OB/Gyn were looking for my problem together when they found it shriveled up. Internist was excited she got to write a paper!

For some people it’s only a matter of time before the word “syndrome” is added to their last name.

…and a jigsaw puzzle!

At first, she just broke an arm. But he JUST WOULDN’T LISTEN !!!!

“That’s textbook,” is what the assisting med student said, as the doctor was examining nerve damage, after I broke my C6 and C7.

“Both Ripley and Guinness are vying to publish your story !”

I hope he was wearing clean underwear.

Just what he wanted – to be known as a medical phenom.

Always a bad sign.

As I’ve always said, no one is completely worthless, they can always be used as a bad example

Whoop-Dee-doo

Speaking from personal experience, don’t go to a teaching hospital if you have something unusual. I must have been shown to 30 medical students and residents and should have been out of there in 2 days instead of 4.

Funniest comic strip ever. Both the artwork and joke lines are refreshingly brutal. This strip “Herman” has no equal.

I had the mumps back in 1981. My neck was so swollen that my doctor took photos and an article on them was published in a medical journal. The photos were also later published in medical text books. Not sure what the fuss was all about.

Isn’t it great to be famous?

Yay.

There was a convict who donated his body to science. It was sliced up, from head to toe and pictures were taken every 1mm. The pictures were turned into a movie that was shown in medical classes

“Sure it was a lot of pain and effort, but you’ll be famous!!”

Famous or infamy?

Yes Dear, and I have you to thank for this notoriety.

She meant well…thought it would make him feel better.

“Doctors all come from distant cities just to see me.”

I had a cat who ended up in a textbook. She had a large hernia but was otherwise healthy. The vet surgeon who repaired the hernia took photos and documented her case for a book.

Yeah, they’re going to use your X-rays in a textbook, but they aren’t going to pay you any royalties for using them and they’re still going to charge you for taking them.
