But pain meds would be different if you’re pregnant or not.
I think a lot of people are taking benign questions as straight insults to them.
Yes do women experience this? Yes. Do men, yes. Is it a valid question for every women that comes across… also yes.
I guess the period question takes it from what you’re saying, and takes it to a different punch line, and what’s that punch line? I get what you are saying, but comic also clearly has a shift to a different point.
Sure, there are valid medical reasons. This comic isn’t about that. It’s about the outright dismissal of women’s problems. It’s not about changing treatment based on pregnancy status despite the mention of pregnancy - it’s about the ignoring the problem exists at all to be fixed.
The comic isn’t showing an outright dismissal, though. The doctor hasn’t arrived at a conclusion just by asking a question that seems unrelated.
Doctors do that kind of digging all the time. It’s not worth it to explain all the interactions and interconnectedness just to get some basic questions answered, so doctors will often just ask weird questions out of the blue.
Of course they do. Still not the point of the comic and plenty of people immediately understood the point. There doesn’t need to be another 4 panels to explain what they’d be.
I think they’re trying to say it doesn’t fully satirize the issue. The doctor isn’t necesarily dismissing anything just by asking the question. They’re saying the joke is malformed, not that the issue cannot exist.

Is it, though?
And its method of depicting that is showing a doctor asking a valid and important question.
It’s crazy you’re atill trying to dismiss the issue

The issue of being a good doctor?
