Art for Your Favorite Doctor! (12”x15” Frame)

Are you looking for the perfect gift to give to your favorite doctor? And does this doctor of yours have a wicked sense of humor? Or are YOU that doctor? (If so, do you take Anthem?) Look no further, patients and healers! This framed art is the exact & ONLY thing that should be proudly displayed on the fluorescent-lit wall of Floor 6, Suite 307 of Dr. So-n-So’s Colonoscopy Clinic! Doctors are similar to your local ‘representatives’ from Rome. And here’s how! 1) Like Father Callahan, a doctor speaks to you in tongues, sprinkled with intimidating Latin, all while you nod politely at their med-school superiority. 2) Like Father Callahan, if you don’t do what your doctor tells you to do (like stop smoking & start exercising), you WILL die and go to Hades. 3) Like Father Callahan, your doctor will get to home-base real fast but kindly tell you that “it’s for your own good”. 4) Unlike Father Callahan, your doctor will be more direct about collecting alms for their yacht (a yacht is essentially an RV for the well-to-do). Even worse, instead of the full hour promised to you, your doctor sends in the infantry to get you started, only to show up during the last 5 minutes for your clinical climax before they gently tell you to leave the money on the dresser, I mean, pay the receptionist on your way out. 5) Like Father Callahan, your doctor also speaks in a loud and knowing voice. And instead of prescribing 15 Hail Marys, your doctor will sentence you to the pharmacy to get some of that ol’ time chemistry. 6) Unlike Father Callahan, instead of warning you that you might loose your soul, your doctor might hint at the loss of your entire net worth faster than you can say “Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis”. So, show some appreciation for your Hippocratic Hero, your Formidable Physician, your Cliché-Weary Romance Novel Archetype, and bring this piece of art with you to the famously inhospitable hospital for your next check-up! Lastly, let’s not forget: The road to perdition is paved with one insurance dispute after another. *** To all the healthcare professionals out there, doctors and nurses alike, please know that I ACTUALLY appreciate everything you do. And I can only TRY to wrap my wiseacre head around the byzantine labyrinth of modern medicine & hospital administration. There, but for my Liberal Arts degree, my zero grasp of science, & my pastry-to-exercise ratio, go I. Many of my friends and extended family work in healthcare. And, sadly, they’ve often confided in me the sheer magnitude of verbal (and sometimes physical) abuse they’ve experienced. Granted they understand that when patients are in that situation, the stress level doesn’t even register on the meter, so they try to have compassion…but they’re also human beings themselves, just like the patients. But I hope you know that there are “civilians” out there who truly respect what you do and will be forever grateful. May this silly art print deliver some much-needed comedic relief to what might otherwise be a chaotic work environment. Let us laugh at each other and ourselves from both sides of the stethoscope, speculum, and urethral sound. Thank you. *** Cash/Venmo accepted. Pick-up in Danville…or I can deliver it to your place of practice if your office is located within a 5-mile radius. *** PS. The full list of Cliché-Weary Romance Novel Archetypes is as follows: 1) Billionaire 2) Pirate 3) Vampire 4) Werewolf 5) Surgeon …is there something Danielle Steel is trying to tell us? …that we women are hopelessly attracted to men carrying cash or a complex? And even the billionaires wear torn-up shirts that — without fail — are forever missing the top 4 buttons. There’s probably only one designated tailor who services ALL of these rugged & ravishing rogues. Will someone please enlighten me?!
