Voodoo doll

An anonymous reader says she works for a group of surgeons, and keeps this near her desk to take frustrations out on.




Having to deal with neurosurgeons, I sympathize. I thought about getting my own, but would likely destroy it after a weekend on call.

    I see there's a urologist she likes to dislike in faint yellow...

    moose- we all could gladly add a little there, but a thumbtack is still plenty to skewer the average neurosurgeon

    For that to work, the surgeons' name tags have to be pinned to the doll.

    I wouldn't mind making one or two up that look like a few of our regular drug seekers.

    No good putting pins in the cranium. If surgeons had brains, they would be internists!
