The graphic in the top-left panel places a gland in the neck area. The pancreas is located in the upper abdomen behind the stomach, not in the neck. The organ located at the base of the neck is the thyroid gland. Furthermore, sensational phrases like “Pancreas Is Dying” are medically inaccurate and designed to cause undue panic.
The symptoms depicted in the image—neck swelling, sweating, sore throat, and mouth/throat irritation—are actually more commonly associated with thyroid conditions, respiratory infections, or throat issues, rather than pancreatic disorders.
