Oh no you don’t. You can’t apply reality to Ethan. 🙃

I hereby sentence you to 48 hours watching YouTubes of Pong tournaments.

Ladies and gentlemen, we are witnessing the beginning of a yandere arc.

To be fair, that is KINDA correct… at least in the American health system.

Yeah, The US system is more like: we’re going to use tiny incisions and laparoscopic tools to get in there. We will cut the tumor out then send it to pathology to make sure we got all of it. Then we will sew you up, give you some nice pain meds, and send you home to recover once you’re stable.

Oh, and I hope you have good health insurance from your employer – if not, let us know when that 2nd mortgage gets approved so you can pay us.

Aww, see that assumes the insurance company will deem the surgery to remove the tumor “medically necessary” to begin with and even approve the procedure. That’s not a given.

Having the tumor might be a “preexisting condition” that we did not disclose so it was OUR fault for getting sick.

And one of the staff members (e.g. the anaesthesiologist) on the surgery team is “out of network” so their fees aren’t covered.

Hey now, you don’t necessarily need a 2nd mortgage. You can file for bankruptcy instead. That’s what I had to do.

Ah, the American dream: losing everything to medical bankruptcy because there was a short lapse in your extortion payments.

I love Lucas’ slight smile in the last panel. He got the sound advice he needed, AND the comedic relief on top.

There is a certain amount of logic to his logic, and I love/hate that’s where Ethan lives.

Look, as long as there are no more patients with tumors, the job is done. Whether the next phase is for the medic or mortician, it’s got nothing to do with me.

Sounded like a reasonable approach right up to the word “knife”

Is this a record for Ethan?

That seems to be the general opinion about surgeons, definitely.
