The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for July 26, 2020

☹

Why not ? You’re still going to charge him for an office visit.

The nurse already got his vitals, so at least Doc has that to go on.

Hey doc, welcome back, I’m feeling a lot better.

Hmmm, according to this your BP is through the roof.

That’s a little medical humor, Brutus! Very little!

“Get better?” He’s the Born Loser. He can hardly get worse.

Had a doctor a long time ago that called me by my first name. He didn’t like it when I started calling him by his first name. Remember, you’re the one with the money and he’s working for you.

and it could have been done virtually in in 12.3 minutes.

I once had an amusing experience with my doctor. At one of my yearly exams, I told him a medical joke I had made up: “Hey, Doc, didja hear about the new drug that treats Tourette Syndrome? It’s called Godamitol…” He laughed and told me a medical joke that was funny, but too rude to type in here… ☺

Dr’s got a point, most things will get better given enough time and reasonable care

Actually Doc I am feeling better, after the hour and half wait in the waiting room.

Today’s comic is from the 1950s when all nurses were women and they wore starched white dresses, white hats, white stockings, and white shoes.

Be sure to subtract from my bill the time you are on the call and not examining me, Doc!
