TRANSCRIPT
Panel 1 (Imogen looks over her shoulder as the doctor enters)
Doctor: Oh, good, you’re here. I take it you’re Imogen?
Imogen: That’s me!
Panel 2 (inset, the doctor smiles knowingly)
Doctor: I’ve heard so much about you already.
Panel 3 (Imogen looks at Alex, who looks away in embarrassment)
Alex: …apparently, I run my mouth when I’m doped to the gills.
Panels 4-5 (The doctor holds up an X-ray, magnified in panel 5)
Doctor: Well, Ms. Koenig, the good news is that you don’t need surgery. The bad news is that it is broken. We’re going to keep you in the boot, but I really need you to stay off it.
Panel 6 (Alex, close-up)
Alex: For how long?
Panel 7 (Doctor, close-up)
Doctor: Four to six weeks, with physio after that.
this doctor’s face is too kindly. i’m jealous
Weeks of torture for Ms-I-Hate-Being-Dependent-On-Anybody.
Oh yeah, this will definitely be a learning experience for her.
Oh doctor, if you could meet me outside I would like to get the details of Alex’s drugged up gushing 😏
I’m pretty sure Canada has a HIPAA equivalent
Aw, I wonder what Alex was saying! All sweet, I’m sure.
Also, how did I just notice Imogen’s fried egg earrings? Super cute ~
I love the doctor’s expression in that last panel, it’s such a good mix of sympathy and authority. “I’m sorry, I know this is particularly awful for you… but that’s an order.”
I just wanna know what Alex said when she was doped up! Also I’m so worried bc Alex gets mean when she needs help.
