“I could cut that out, but it counts as surgery and the insurance company won’t cover that until we try everything else first. So take these pills for two weeks and if things don’t improve we’ll move on to physical therapy.”
Looks like a pre-existing condition, therefore it’s not covered. Also, the doc would like to administer a tetanus shot, but the patient has suddenly developed a fear of needles.
I think the comic colorist got all mixed up. Behind him is another green wall, both above and below the spear. It’s not a wall further away plus the floor.

How would you describe how you feel? Does it feel like a stabbing pain?

Sadly, with the lawsuit-crazy culture, medical facilities almost have to be like this.

Yep, American Health Care in Action. Most expensive with mediocre results for a first world nation.

Oh, and that battery of tests? It’ll break even your insurance company. But I don’t want to get sued for malpractice, so I’ve gotta be over-cautious.
