Description
Comic Description:
The comic features a surgical scene.
Panel 1:
- Background is a surgical room. There are two surgeons wearing scrubs, surgical masks, and caps.
- The surgeon on the right is reaching over to the unconscious patient on the operating table. There are surgical instruments and a cloth covering part of the patient’s body.
- A caption at the top reads: "SURGERY LESSON #14 THE MOST COMMON ERROR IS LEAVING SOMETHING INSIDE THE PATIENT."
Speech Bubble (from the surgeon on the right):
- "Hey… Where'd Nurse Rodgers go?"
Panel 2:
- Close-up on the nurse, who is off-screen, with a muffled response indicated by an "MMMPH! MMMPH!" sound effect, implying she is either hidden or restrained.
This comic humorously addresses a common surgical error in a light-hearted manner, playing on the absence of a nurse during a critical moment.
