Panel 1:
Narration/instructor: People perceive doctors as being too pushy and impersonal.
Panel 2:
Instructor (a man with glasses, standing at a chalkboard): The keys here are time and language. Talk a little more slowly and instead of telling people what they MUST do, lay out their options and tell them how you FEEL about the path forward.
Chalkboard text: TIME, FEELINGS
Caption bar: SUBSEQUENTLY.
Panel 3:
A woman doctor (in a white coat) speaking warmly to an older bald man (seen from behind): It would just mean the WORLD to me if I could put a camera up your anus.
Votey:
The same woman doctor, now beaming and clasping her hands, continues to the older man (speech bubble, handwritten): THINK OF THE THINGS WE COULD SEE TOGETHER!

A three-panel comic about a seminar coaching doctors on bedside manner. Panel one: a bespectacled instructor faces a small group of doctors, with narration reading "People perceive doctors as being too pushy and impersonal." Panel two: the instructor stands at a chalkboard that reads "TIME" and "FEELINGS," advising, "The keys here are time and language. Talk a little more slowly and instead of telling people what they MUST do, lay out their options and tell them how you FEEL about the path forward." A caption bar reads "SUBSEQUENTLY." Panel three: a smiling woman doctor in a white coat earnestly tells an older bald man, seen from behind, "It would just mean the WORLD to me if I could put a camera up your anus" — applying the warm, feelings-based advice to an awkwardly invasive procedure. Votey (bonus panel): the same beaming doctor clasps her hands and adds, "THINK OF THE THINGS WE COULD SEE TOGETHER!"
