MDLinx Comic Consult #19

It's way past time for our office visit. The MDLinx Comic Consult is a caption contest open only to physicians with a sense of humor, or at the very least an NPI number. Prizes are a $100 Amazon gift card for first place, and $50 gift cards for up to four runners up. I've won three $50 gift cards for contests #12, #13, and #14, but now I completely missed the deadline for contest #19. I'm quite sure I couldn't have come up with anything as good as the grand prize winner. Five entries are permitted; there were none from me this go round, thank you. The subject is joy on the cardiology unit. The MDLinx cartoon is by Jonny Hawkins.

Prizes are a $100 Amazon gift card for first place, and $50 gift cards for up to four runners up. I've won three $50 gift cards for contests #12, #13, and #14, and I am eager to see if I can get back in the game with #18. In this contest, it's just another day in the exam room with an eccentric patient. Five entries are permitted; you know I wouldn't submit any fewer. The MDLinx cartoon, as always, is by Jonny Hawkins.
