I didn't get it, but this explanation by GPT-4 helped:
This meme is poking fun at a situation that medical professionals might encounter. The patient claims to have no significant medical history and mentions that they haven't been to a hospital in 30 years, implying that they are quite healthy. However, the healthcare provider, who is looking at the patient's A1c (a blood test that measures average blood sugar levels) of 9 (which is high and indicates poorly controlled diabetes) and EF (ejection fraction, a measure of heart function) of 30% (which is low and indicates reduced heart function), reacts with a nonchalant "mmm-hmm."
The humor comes from the healthcare provider's understated response, implying that the patient's self-assessment of their health is quite far from reality, as evidenced by their concerning test results. It's a way of highlighting the gap between a patient's perception of their health and their actual medical condition.
patient with "no past medical history": this is my first time in a hospital in 30 years!
me, looking at his A1c of 9 and EF of 30%: mmm-hmm
