Those situations really aren't comparable...

You can't justifiably refuse to treat people begging for help just because you're jaded, that's how you get people killed. Medical care is meant to involve empathetic support, not suspicion and accusations at every turn.

It's fine to be on the look out for people lying, but you can't assume everyone is the second you meet them, that's literally the opposite of what a doctor is meant to do.

I'd be willing to bet you do more digging to find out what's actually going on than many doctors do, who will just show you the door instead of taking you seriously.

I used to watch this documentary about an amazing doctor who was exactly as described but it was both comedic and effective. It did always seem that once they got to the truth, it was always lupus. Or was it never lupus? I forget.

Did that documentary by any chance include breaking into the patients homes?

On occasion, yes. But totally justified, it was the only way to uncover the truth.

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…
