A four-panel comic. Panel 1: an older male doctor in a white coat and head mirror bluntly tells an unseen patient, "We cut off your penis and replaced it with Ebola." Panel 2: a female doctor with long reddish-brown hair, also in a white coat and head mirror, stands facing him looking unimpressed. Panel 3: the female doctor delivers the same line but with a softening preamble, "The good news is we cut off your penis and replaced it with Ebola." Panel 4: the male doctor reacts, frustrated, shouting "Dammit!" A caption reads: Sandra wins the "worst thing you can say to a patient" contest. The joke: framing a horrific statement as "good news" makes it even worse. Votey (aftercomic): the male doctor adds, "I knew I should've gone with 'you're pregnant.'"
