Stop lying to your doctor. They'll know.

This meme features text at the top depicting a conversation between a patient and their doctor: the doctor first asks 'Do you smoke?', to which the patient replies 'No'. The doctor then asks 'Ever smoked?', and the patient answers 'Yes, a pack a day for 25yrs, I quit last week'. Below the text is a still from the animated film *Despicable Me* of the character Sergio, popularly used in the 'disappointed/unimpressed guy' meme template, staring with a deadpan, skeptical expression at the person speaking to him, marked '-Doc' at the bottom right to indicate the character is representing the doctor in the conversation. The joke highlights the absurdity of patients intentionally misleading or omitting critical health information from their doctors, as the patient technically did not lie about currently smoking, but omitted their decades-long heavy smoking history that their doctor obviously needs to know.
