Comic Description:

The comic features a medical scene where a doctor, wearing a surgical mask and glasses, points urgently at a medical chart. He is in a green surgical gown and holds a pair of scissors. Next to him, a nurse in a similar green gown looks concerned.

In the foreground, a patient lies on an examination table, appearing unconscious, with an EKG monitor showing a flatline.

The doctor exclaims, "Doctor, he's flatlining!"

The nurse responds, "Quick! Shake the EKG!"

At the bottom of the panel, the text reads: "I consider myself a pragmatist."

Visual Elements:

• The background is a simple, light-colored wall, creating a clinical atmosphere.
• The expressions on the characters are exaggerated for comedic effect, emphasizing the absurdity of the situation.
