Reminds me of my first primary care Dr. When told I needed a tonsilectomy ASAP, I questioned if there was an alternative. He said….”You can die…” Convincing argument for a 14 year old.

LuvH8 – Made me laugh. LOL
AddADadaAdDad – Yep. He also needs to take that reflector off of his head.
Doctor Toon – Is there really a wrong place for a stethoscope? ;-)
Bristow – I could’ve been a doctor. But, not really.
bald 716 – Agreed. But are there ever any tactful characters in my strip? :-)
Jo Jo – HAHA!
cleokaya – Or he can shove it where the stethoscope doesn’t go. :-)
