There is a distinct lack of empathy in medicine, at least partly due to for-profit hospitals running their staff ragged to save money.

There's also the fact that all research and treatment is based around white male patients.

Ma'am, you're being hysterical.

This isn't about empathy or just male testing. It's lacking better judgement. Female surgeons don't seem to have the problem of "higher death rate of patients of one gender."

The painmedication discrimination isn't just about "only male testing." I mean you give morphine to people who flew through their windshield right? It's not like they tested it on rats they flung at a wall first. Second, the lidocaine situation is just an example of ignoring patient's pleas with no reason. The stuff is commonly used on female patients in other procedures. So why stop at that one specific procedure?

Hello fellow Cyanide and Happiness fans!

About this community and how I post the comics… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. Of course these days you can read your favorite comics online instead of a newspaper, but I love the nostalgia of reading the daily comics. Anyway, one of my favorite current comics is Cyanide and Happiness and I will be posting the daily release from their website (https://explosm.net) and a an extra or two randoms.

Cyanide & Happiness (C&H) is a webcomic created by Rob DenBleyker, Kris Wilson, Dave McElfatrick and Matt Melvin. The comic has been running since 2005 and is published on the website explosm.net along with animated shorts in the same style. Matt Melvin left C&H in 2014, and several other people have contributed to the comic and to the animated shorts… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanide_%26_Happiness

Hope you enjoy and feel free to contribute to the community with art, media, cool stuff about the authors, tattoos, toys and anything else, as long it’s Cyanide and Happiness related!

Ps. Sub to all my comic strip communities…
