In a recent strip, a doctor and patient confer over how to treat the patient's newly diagnosed tuberculosis.

The old doctor had conferred with her, of course.

The doctors confer about Mrs. Morel's illness.

The doctor who had treated Maia aboard the Gentilleschi conferred with two women, one tall and severe-looking, dressed in priestly habits, the other rotund, wearing archdeaconess robes.

The abbot and the officer waited by the cruiser while the process server, the doctor, and the other officer conferred in the driveway.

When she went downstairs again the two doctors were still conferring, but very shortly Dr. Donaldson well away with the promise to return after the general was back from Edinburgh, and Aldo went to talk to his wife.
