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.

Hey you fucking acorn, the joke is that the doctor is ignoring the obvious gunshot wound in her arm and is implying that she's making up/exaggerating symptoms because she's preggers. If the doctor was doing his job, he'd be doing something about the gunshot wound, not musing about what the real problem is.
How do you fix a gunshot wound? Pain meds and an xray. What does those do to an unknown fetus? So they ask before making a malpractice mistake. This question is ROUTINE!
Those are the first questions to ask while addressing the gunshot wound. The creator of this comic seems to not understand this and ruined the point of their comic by conflating different issues in one comic.
Yes, you fucking acorn, but the problem is that making the injury something where "doing the job" will likely include an x-ray makes the author look like a moron instead of the doctor. The joke is understandable, it's just badly executed.
