Comics and Medicine Panel

Three hand-drawn images side by side (left to right): a woman with glasses, which are crooked because she is touching the side of her face with her hand; a woman slightly bent over, looking down, is holding an unknown object while standing in knee-deep water; a woman in a hospital gown stands with arms crossed over her chest, on top of a platform made of what looks like pills and paper prescriptions.
