The messenger god, patron of travelers, thieves, and the medical caduceus he is pointedly gesturing with, offers a judgment-free consultation for a very common category of emergency-room visit. The special is named for the explanation every patient gives. He has heard it before. He does not believe it.
The original print is cropped at head and foot — the title and final line of the slogan run off the sheet. The registrar has logged this as 'an injury consistent with the subject matter.'
