Four-panel medical comic. A doctor asks if they can page the admitting hospitalist at 4:55 PM. Another doctor tells him to hold on, then dramatically waits through 4:57 and 4:58 before pointing at 4:59 and shouting, "Now! Send all the pages!"
Comic transcript
Panel 1, 4:55 PM: In the emergency room, a nervous doctor holding a tablet asks, "Can I page the admitting hospitalist?" Another doctor raises a hand and replies, "Hold on a minute."

Panel 2, 4:57 PM: The second doctor appears in a dramatic Braveheart-style pose with blue face paint, holding up his hand as a crowd and hospital flags gather behind him. A large speech bubble says, "HOLD!"

Panel 3, 4:58 PM: The first doctor clutches the tablet and sweats while the painted doctor still blocks him with an outstretched hand. The speech bubble again says, "HOLD!"

Panel 4, 4:59 PM: Back in the emergency room, the painted doctor points urgently and yells, "NOW! SEND ALL THE PAGES!"
