Description

The comic features two characters in a medical setting.

At the top, the title reads: "WHY DOCTORS SHOULDN'T STUDY PHILOSOPHY:"

On the left, there is a man with a mustache looking concerned.

On the right, there is a woman dressed in a doctor's coat with a stethoscope around her neck, holding a clipboard.

The woman says: "THE GOOD NEWS IS YOU'LL DIE SLOWLY OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS. THE BAD NEWS IS THAT YOU DON'T CONTEXTUALIZE THAT AS GOOD NEWS."

The overall tone is darkly humorous, highlighting the juxtaposition of medical news.
