"Dawn, there's been a lot of confusion about health insurance. As you know, Congress hasn't been able to fulfill its manic ambition to deprive millions of people of their health care. I'd like you to summarize all of the issues and view points and send it out in a MASS MAILING to my patients. Thanks. You're amazingly mature."
Today's Boldface Haiku is titled "Fifty Shades Of Dr. Fletcher".
ReplyDeleteMass mailing insurance policy.
Do.
Will?
Ha! Of course, you're!
ReplyDeleteWhoa, Dr. Dreamy has set his phaser to creep factor 10. (Jared's is only set at about 8.)

It's funny that Dawn doesn't seem to be aware of the implausibility or awkwardness of her situation. I may have wasted eight words at the end of that sentence, but I wanted to try to tie my comment to this particular story line.
ReplyDeleteI love the title of today's haiku.
Dawn: "Psst, Medical Assistant Jared....what is the new insurance policy? Also, how do you do a mass mailing?"
ReplyDeleteFinally the plot reveal (telegraph) of Dr. Ned head's lean in, to Jared lurking on Dr. Ned's back like Voldemort on Professor Quirrell.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if Medical Group has an envelope sealer or if Dawn will be working deep into the night licking envelopes, scoring another free dinner.
Lately this strip makes me squirm in my seat and want to take a shower. And I don't mean a cold one.
ReplyDelete"I will do that, just as soon as you get your nose out of my personal space!"
ReplyDeleteThe new insurance policy is a simple one: No Medicaid assignments. Medicare is not encouraged. However, for an extra charge, we will write prescriptions for all the painkillers you think you need.
ReplyDeletePicking up where @fauxprof left off, I wonder if the doctor Tommy Beedie went to is part of Medical Practice.
ReplyDeletefauxprof, you beat me to it! If Medical Practice were in Ohio, they would DEFINITELY be moving in the direction you outlined, right down to the painkiller prescriptions.. Also, it seems Dr. Ned is a grammar stickler, or else this is his feeble attempt to sweet talk Dawn into doing some unpaid work...
ReplyDeleteJared may have a real honker nose, but how about Dr. Ned's double chins?
ReplyDeleteDr. Ned looks like a poorly-drawn version of Justin Trudeau. Please, ladies, forgive me for saying anything about Justin (swoon) Trudeau.
ReplyDeleteForget towel folding, We are going to see KM show us how to do a mail merge in Excel and Word!
ReplyDelete"It seems the state has yanked my license after I lost the last predator lawsuit and insurance companies are sticklers about that sort of thing, but I can still see patients for cash. Until the authorities catch on."
