or a COM file renamed as an EXE file, without affecting normal execution? Also, I don't think calling this section the "Clinic" is very appropriate either. Having a question doesn't mean I have a problem!

Then how about renaming "Clinic" to "Q&A Room" (that is, "Question Answering"?

Good! How about calling it the "Question Room"? Here, "question" can mean both problem and question!

Because EXE files have a file header, while COM files are directly just programs.

EXE programs are divided into a data segment, code segment, stack segment, etc., while COM programs have only one segment. This is determined by their program structure.
