Stop lying to your doctor. They'll know.

A fictional conversation between a doctor and patient about the patient's smoking history, paired with an unimpressed reaction image representing the doctor
Overview
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.
Origin notes
This meme is sourced from the Reddit r/Meme subreddit as specified in the provided RSS source information. It uses the widely circulated Sergio (Despicable Me) unimpressed reaction meme template, edited to add the fictional doctor-patient dialogue about smoking history. The meme plays on the common real-world trope of patients being vague or dishonest with medical professionals about their lifestyle habits.
