This never-reprinted story from Charlton's From Here to Insanity #9 (1955)...
...was apparently meant to satirize the idea of doing a medical TV series in the pseudo-realistic style of the classic police procedural show Dragnet!
Illustrated (and possibly written) by Fred Ottenheimer, a children's book creator who did humor comics stories for Timely (later Marvel) and Magazine Enterprises as well as Charlton.
This was Charlton's second attempt to jump on the MAD comic bandwagon (before MAD became a b/w magazine).
The first was titled "EH!" and had such a brief life that material prepared for it appeared in ...Insanity without even editing out or modifying in-panel references to EH!!
