"Thank God you survived the surgery. The lord was watching over you"

A friend of mine is a surgeon, and he told me he really struggles not to lose his shit when he hears people thanking God after he has been standing on his feet for multiple hours to save someone's life.

His face reading the text is perfec, this might be my second favorite extra fabulous of all time. First being "the sun's coming out" comic. Top tier comics from them.

Does he only have a halo when he checks his phone?

The halo was sleeping too until the interruption.
