Nut ‘n’ honey

Just call it monkey pox

Looks like monkey pox to me.

Doc, you never really know what’s wrong with them. Charge as usual …

From the look, he may need an ink blot test.

That’s irrelevant

Same price. Just insist on revisits every few weeks until they get wise

Must be the same doctor who charged the N.Y. woman $40 for crying during doctor’s appointment. The bill included fee for ‘brief emotional/behavioural assessment’https://nationalpost.com/health/health-and-wellness/patient-charged-40-for-crying-during-doctors-appointment

Consultations are free….refer to another doctor…

Same price as for all the tests rounded up to the next 90%.

Must be a third world sh!t hole country without national health/single payer.

Doctor’s diagnosis: A pox on you.

He has a rare disease. His doc is the only other known case of it.

He’s wearing a tie so probably makes a decent wage.. going with two payments on that condo you just bought seems fair.

Monkey Pox. Amazing since comics are drawn weeks in advance. This had to be done before Monkey Pox hit the news.

“Twice as much because you’ll have to do research.”

Twice as much if you cure them. After all, you’re a Specialist…

So it happens seldom enough that he does not have the price memorized? Impressive!!

The standard rates.

Depends on the ethics of the Doctor.

The auto mechanic I used once could not track down where a problem was coming from, and even though they spent an hour trying to find the short they only charged me for the fuse that needed to be replaced. Later when they figured out what was happening, they made the repair for free. A good mechanic is hard to find.

Prescribe some pills and sock with an overpriced 3 minute office visit.

Now let’s not be rash.

Twice as much……

He should have gone to Dr. House.

I respect doctors and know their time is valuable. But it is an odd arrangement that they’ll charge you whether you’re satisfied with the results or not.
