I took this photo in the doctor's office.
No, this is not my doctor, but a statue of one on the countertop.
What's funny to me is how he looks in context of the bottles and anatomical models all around him.
Either the doctor has shrunk or the other things are really huge.
My dad used to tell me that doctors only know what G-d tells them, so we should pray that G-d gives them the wisdom to help us.
And my grandfather used to say in German that "G-d is my doctor."
Maybe that's why the image of the doctor is looking up--to get the guidance from the one above to help us.
That's the intersection of medicine and faith--where truly big things can happen. ;-)

Doctor In Context
This was a picture I took from the office of an orthopedic surgeon.
The surgeon is listed as a top doctor in Washingtonian Magazine.
Next to the medications, bandages, and splints was this statue of a sailor with a wooden leg.
I suppose the message is clear--if only he had a good orthopedic surgeon, he could have a modern functional prosthetic instead of this old wooden leg.
Well, thank G-d for modern medicine, and hopefully it will only get better and better with time. ;-)

Prosthesis Anyone?
This guy is a real dummy--no, I am not being mean or rude.
While this guy looks very real, it is actually a statue and is called "Vendor With Walkman" by Duane Hanson.
This guy sits in a windowed room in Ft. Lauderdale Airport, and it seems that almost everyone who passes by stops and does a double-take--he is so real looking--it is amazing!
Looks are deceiving, but this takes it to a whole new level--think hard about what is real and fake; it is not always so obvious. ;-)
