A webcomic titled "DOCTOR TIPS: KEEP IT POSITIVE!" In the single panel, a cheerfully smiling doctor in a green shirt, wearing a head mirror and holding a clipboard, leans toward a patient (seen from behind with brown hair). He exclaims, "WOW! THERE ARE SO MANY TERMINAL DISEASES YOU DON'T HAVE!" The votey (bonus panel) shows a rough sketch of the doctor's grinning face adding the deflating qualifier, "Like... 50% of them!" The joke: his attempt at positive bedside manner is undercut by the implication the patient actually has the other half.
