A Blog detailing the insanity of my medical practice and the stupidity of everyday life.

Dear Drug Company,
Thank you for running an ad campaign that helps dispel the myth that neurologists are eccentric and have no sense of modern fashion. We REALLY appreciate it.
Jackie: We really appericate free samples for the pt's that we have that can't afford their medications. Drug rep: But our medication is covered by insurance Jackie: Not everyone has insurance Drug rep: REALLY???
lmao. if i walked into a doctor's office for an appointment and he looked like that, i'd run away. FAST. amazing how they seem to think this *helps* get people in the door....
Is that a cravat? My neurologist doesn't wear a cravat. He does wear striped socks and Keens though.
Actually on closer inspection, he appears to be molding in place. I'd want to decon him with a 10% bleach solution before he got near me with the tuning forks.
yea will many people think that pharmacists are boring and have no personality either.. waaaait a minute..most of them dont! except me and a few other bloggers HAHAHAHAHA
@Anonymous: I had the same thought -- you beat me to it. I bet that guy has a real knack for accurate diagnosis. He just hops over to the future to see what happened to you long term, comes back and adjusts the diagnosis and treatment, etc. Can I be his patient? :)
What are you talking about, that dude is H-O-T.
ReplyDeleteI thought he was a patient.
ReplyDeleteAwwwwww, it's just that he's been working on it for sooooo looooong!!
ReplyDeleteAll that's missing is the Tardis.
ReplyDeletelol don't you just love drug companies?
ReplyDeleteBest line every from a drug rep

*headdesk*
I think he looks like Count Dracula.......the Christopher Lee version.
ReplyDeleteIsn't that guy the head of neurology at Miskatonic University Medical School?
ReplyDeleteIt looks like an ad for a time travel movie, or a vampire movie. Wow...
ReplyDeleteThat's truth in advertising, right there...
ReplyDeleteThat's how I've always pictured you!
ReplyDeleteI think that the ad. company executive has been watching too many "People of Walmart." episodes or is trying to be the feature creature of the week.
ReplyDeleteOoh, I thought it was Ian Holmes as Bilbo Baggins at first ... unfortunately, I was wrong.
ReplyDeleteNice tie, tho- I can think of a couple neurologists who would work it nicely.
I see you dressed up nicely for your photos, Dr. Grumpy.

ReplyDeleteIt's the eyebrow that really makes the look.
ReplyDeleteTruth in advertising from a drug company and you complain?
ReplyDeleteI'm with Anonymous at 7:09. Got to be Doctor Who!
ReplyDeleteCome on Grumpy, admit it, that's you isn't it?!?
ReplyDeleteNatty...very natty.
ReplyDelete>:p
BTW, I haven't seen lambchop sideburns in awhile, either...except on Buffalo Bill and some bikers
WV: zolog...must be the name of that new drug!
That's beyond awesome! I always knew you neurologists were a hot bunch hiding under a cute nerdy exterior and this just confirms what I always knew!
ReplyDeleteLooks like the guy who delivered my first kid. Explains a lot about the kid, and the delivery.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's Mr. Parkin or his son?

Now I'm having flashbacks to the Rocky Horror Picture Show.

ReplyDeleteYou should dress like that. Patients will invariably believe anything you say.
ReplyDeleteI like that the audience has to be edited in.
