...but nobody said the patients had to be human!

Ever see the movie Crisis (1950)?

Cary Grant plays a doctor vacationing in a South American country, where a revolution is brewing.

He's grabbed by the dictator's (Jose Ferrer) police to operate on him since they don't trust any of the surgeons native to the country to keep the secret of the ruler's infirmity!
The sadly-unknown writer of this never-repinted story from DC's My Greatest Adventure #77 (1963) obviously based his script on is, adding a cybernetic variation of that concept!

Interesting that the whole story comes down to "turn off the device and reboot", which was all-but unknown back in 1963!

Sensation Comics DR PAT "Case of the Mechanical Brain"

Our favorite female MD vs...a giant killer robot?

Has Dr Pat "jumped the shark" or is there a rational explanation for this splash page?

OK, not quite the "killer robot on the rampage" tale the splash page implied, and well within the realm of plausibility, this never reprinted tale by scripter Robert Kanigher, penciler Carmine Infantino and inkers Infantino and Frank Giacoia from DC's Sensation Comics #101 (1951) actually fits well within the format of numerous non-costumed crime-fighters published by DC, including Mr District Attorney and GangBusters!
