There is a giant rat dressed as a doctor. He is giving a prescription to a man. The man looks shocked.
Humans-sized, clothing-wearing rats do not exist.
Why is there a giant rat dressed as a doctor?
Don't worry. I wouldn't prescribe anything I haven't tested on myself.

A joke about the role of a rat in the scientific process. Usually, rats in labs are the subject of medical testing, e.g., for new medications, to make sure they are safe prior to human trials being conducted. Here, however, the doctor is a rat --- while doctors assure patients that treatments are safe, the scientist rat has literally tested the drug on themselves in its role as a test subject.
