The existential crisis of every PhD graduate captured in one Disney scene! First you're correcting someone because you're "an astronomer, not a doctor!" Then the painful realization hits - technically you ARE a doctor, just not the useful kind that can help when someone's choking at a restaurant. The character's increasing frustration is basically the internal monologue of anyone who spent 8 years studying celestial bodies only to have relatives still ask them to look at weird rashes. The final panel's "You just sit there and you're useless!" hits harder than any dissertation defense question ever could.
