Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Okay, but like, it's the gynaecologist. Periods are a big part of their jobs.

Edit: I hated working service desk for IT. I'd probably hate being a doctor more.

Reminds me of the one time one of our sales people video called me with an urgent bug report that his demo unit wasn't responding via SSH or HTTP and that it's probably broken because of our last update and whatnot.

I asked him if he checked the power and network cables. He gets angry and tells me that of course the cables are ok.

So I ask him if it's the unit I can see on the shelf behind him. He says yes. I say, "All the LEDs on the front of the unit are off. Are you sure the power cable is plugged in?". It wasn't.

This is the doctor equivalent of that video call.

Not every time it's the simple answer. But sometimes it is, so you ask the simple question every time.
