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.

Stop lying to your doctor. They'll know.

This is a relatable mental health meme using the iconic Pawn Stars 'best I can do' reaction format. The top text states 'Me: My antidepressant will make me feel better!', followed by the line 'My antidepressant:' above a still of Pawn Stars hosts Rick Harrison and Corey Harrison standing at their shop counter. The text overlaid on the still reads 'Best I can do is no crying', humorously conveying the common experience of antidepressants only reducing severe negative symptoms rather than creating positive improved mood as many users initially expect.

This is a two-panel humorous meme. The top panel displays a satirical fake dictionary entry for the word 'Doctor' that reads: '(n.) A person who kills your ills with pills then kills you with bills.' The bottom panel features a widely used viral reaction image of a man in a black bucket hat and dark jacket with red sleeve stripes, holding up one index finger in a smug, proud gesture, with overlaid text labeling him as 'The Person Who Wrote This Definition'. The joke relies on the rhyming near-pun of 'pills' and 'bills' to satirize the extremely high cost of medical care in many regions, where patients often face crippling debt after receiving treatment for their health issues.

This two-panel meme uses the popular 'Mr. Incredible Becoming Uncanny' format. The left panel features a normal, smiling, brightly lit Mr. Incredible paired with the text 'Getting to skip the queue at the ER', representing the initial positive reaction to avoiding a long wait at the emergency room. The right panel shows the unsettling, grayscale, half-shadowed uncanny version of Mr. Incredible with the same text, revealing the dark punchline: skipping an ER queue only happens when a patient's condition is extremely serious and life-threatening, so the seemingly good situation is actually a very bad sign.

This meme features a three-line text dialogue setup followed by a reaction image. The first line is a doctor stating 'We need a sperm donor', the second line is the speaker replying 'Can I donate directly to the patient?', then the doctor's response is represented by a screenshot of the shocked, wide-eyed, disturbed-looking animated character Tío Berto from Pixar's 2017 film Coco. The joke relies on sexual innuendo: the 'direct donation' the speaker refers to implies having sexual intercourse with the patient instead of following standard clinical sperm donation procedures, which explains the doctor's appalled, stunned reaction.

This meme uses situational irony for humorous effect. It opens with a line attributed to a medical professional saying "Don't worry, xrays are 100% safe." Below this text, a caption introduces "The doctor during the xray:" followed by an image of a wide-eyed, wary cow peeking nervously from behind a corrugated metal barrier. The joke highlights the common real-world contradiction between doctors' reassurances that x-ray radiation is safe for patients, and their own practice of hiding behind lead barriers or leaving the room entirely to avoid exposure during the procedure.

This meme consists of a short dialogue followed by a reaction image to deliver an ironic joke. The text first shows a doctor asking the narrator why they missed their scheduled doctor's appointment the previous day. The narrator replies that they were sick, which is the exact reason someone would typically attend a doctor's appointment. The punchline is the reaction image below the 'Doctor:' line, showing a wide-eyed, stunned 3D animated character whose expression conveys speechlessness and confusion at the narrator's obvious yet logically conflicting answer.

This is a relatable ironic meme made of text dialogue paired with a popular reaction image. The dialogue sets up a simple scenario: a doctor asks their patient why they missed their scheduled appointment the day before, and the patient replies that they were sick. The doctor's reaction is represented by a heavily distorted, wide-eyed, frowning edited version of Lord Farquaad from the Shrek franchise, which conveys dumbfounded, unimpressed, awkward amusement at the irony of the excuse: people normally visit a doctor when they are sick, making the excuse logically sound while being humorously contradictory to the purpose of the appointment.

This image shows a security keypad for an elevator on a hospital dementia ward, with a posted sign that hides the access code within a rhyming message. The system is designed to prevent patients with dementia from wandering off and leaving the secured ward, while still allowing authorized staff to easily calculate the access code. The code is hidden by extracting the number from the first word of each line: 4 (F is 4th letter of the alphabet), 1 (O is 1st letter), 2 (T is 2nd letter), 7 (word is Seven), 8 (S is 8th letter), resulting in full code 41278. The top caption calls this a clever security solution.

This meme is a satirical commentary on for-profit healthcare that recontextualizes the classic biblical scene of Jesus cleansing the Temple of Jerusalem. In the original biblical story, Jesus drives money changers out of the temple, saying they turned God's house of prayer into a den of robbers. The meme re-frames this scene: Jesus is cast as a doctor, the money changers are cast as corrupt insurance companies exchanging profit in a hospital (the 'house of healing'). The image uses an existing biblical illustration of the temple cleansing, with added text that reads 'Doctor catches insurance companies exchanging money in a hospital', drawing a direct parallel between ancient religious profiteering and modern exploitative healthcare profiteering by insurance companies.

This image is a first-person perspective photo taken from a hospital bed, showing the poster's legs under a white sheet, set in a clinical examination room. The room features medical carts, a wall-mounted sink, waste bins with medical waste, and windows with blinds in the background. Overlaid on the image is a sarcastic, darkly humorous text update: the poster states they've been unwell, fell unconscious, doctors found "something dancing next to my brain" (an absurd, exaggerated description of a serious health issue), and signs off with a blunt, sarcastic "thanks for all your shit and stupidity." The humor comes from mixing a seemingly genuine scary health situation with an absurd detail and a rude, sarcastic sign-off, creating an edgy, funny tone.

A meme composed of two sections: a top text block and a bottom image. The text reads: 'How doctor feels after studying for 10yrs just to say we're extremely sorry, we tried our best... anyways here's your $671838 bill'. Below the text is an image of a pigeon edited to wear a white doctor's coat, a blue tie, and a stethoscope around its neck. The pigeon stands in a hospital hallway with blurred human figures in the background, creating a humorous contrast between the doctor's apology for poor outcomes and the shockingly high medical bill.
