Medical Humor Cartoon: “Could You Lay Off the Flash Cards Until We Can See a Head?” #1726485 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white editorial cartoon by Mark Anderson shows a patient lying on a hospital bed, partially covered by a sheet, while two masked medical staff members hold up flash cards. One staff member holds a card labeled “APPLE” with an illustration, prompting the patient to quip, “Could you at least lay off the flash cards until we can see a head?” The scene satirizes overzealous cognitive testing or teaching moments in clinical settings.
