- 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).

MODERATORS
For my first surgery I had been told something like the above. I was twelve and didn't have much to be embarrassed about, other than the things that might worry every twelve year old boy, but I was still concerned. When I was in recovery I asked the surgeon "what did I say while I was under?"
He responded "I'm sworn to silence." I worried about that for months if not years, especially because I had to have two more surgeries under his care.
Nothing embarrassing was ever publicized AFAIK.
Plot twist. You told him you used to sneak some extra halloween candy in the mornings as a kid before your mom woke up. It was years prior, but you swore him to secrecy. And the doctor respects the oath.
