13. Someone Famous




There are 9 of us in the department, and when a new patient makes an appointment, she has the option of first looking at our photos and a "bio."

T. said she picked me because I looked like someone famous, in this case Dr Zorba from Ben Casey. She is not the first patient to have made this connection. Other patients have mentioned Billy Crystal or Dr House. I like to think that I have the authority of Dr Zorba, the bedside manner of Billy Crystal and the medical knowledge of Dr House. Though I wouldn't mind if I just brought Ben Casey or George Clooney or even Matthew Fox to mind.
