Its satirizing the tendency for doctors to be more dismissive of women having pain than men, for example. This would be more of a problem with non-visible causes of pain, especially ones that predominantly effect women such as chronic migraines. This comic extrapolates this to comedic effect by using a gunshot wound instead.
AND
I love how a 4 panel comic about dismissal of women’s medical concerns is getting multiple commentors who want to dismiss those problems because a 4 panel comic doesn’t explicitly go into the a specific nuance they are focused on. Plenty of people get the punchline just fine without it.
It’s not about pregnancy. It’s about dismissing pain and blaming symptoms on hormones.
NO
As WalrusDragonOnABike so perfectly put it:

ANOTHER SOURCE
YET ANOTHER SOURCE
I have more sources. They’re bookmarked. Does anyone need them or do we get it yet?
It’s not a 4 panel comic, they tried using more panels for extra context and fucked it up.
So it’s just badly written then
But yea it seems like your interpretation is correct, though the extreme amount of exaggeration in the comic made it less understandable
