A four-panel SMBC comic. A pediatrician (a woman with glasses and a white coat) sits across from a parent, a man with flame-like hair who has a small child with him. Panel 1: the doctor says calmly, "Now, before I start my exam, I want you to know that you know your kid better than I do." Panel 2: the man explodes in anger, "WHAT?! Why am I paying you?! Pediatric medicine has been a thing for centuries and you just skipped it?!" Panel 3: still furious, "You have 20 years of medical training! Were you asleep the whole time?!" Panel 4: the doctor admits, "Look, it's just a thing I say so parents think I'm not condescending," and the man, relieved, replies, "Oh thank God." Votey (aftercomic): a close-up of the doctor's face with a flat, tired expression and a speech bubble reading, "Your kid is a douche."
