Nobody likes going to the doctor. Sure, we all understand just how important it is, but that doesn’t mean that you won’t need to drag us kicking and screaming to get a basic check-up. We really respect the fact that doctors do their jobs because they know it’s good for us, no matter what. Some doctors even go above and beyond to make their patients crack a little smile. So would you eat an apple a day to keep these doctors away? Read on and decide for yourself!
The Tooth Fairy Looks a Little Different Today
If there’s one thing that little kids hate, it’s going to the dentist. Sure, going to the regular doctor is bad too, but the dentist is absolutely horrifying when you’re a child. And for some of us adults too. Those drills are scary! Our dentists never really did anything to calm our racing hearts, but this one went above and beyond for his young clients. Yes, he actually dressed up as the Tooth Fairy for their entertainment.
While we doubt any kid was convinced by his costume, their giggles probably made them feel much more comfortable. From the look on his face, we’re guessing that’s not his regular office outfit.
How Come We Don’t Get This Level of Service at the Doctor’s?
There are many important requirements to be a vet. You need to have a ton of education, proper training, and the right temperament. But, of course, there’s one thing that’s more important than all of that. You can have the degrees, but you still can’t be a good vet unless you really, really love animals. Take this photo as an example. This person was clearly born to be a vet on their love of animals alone.
We just wish we could get this kind of loving treatment from our own doctors, because they just stick us in a robe and make us wait for hours and hours.
This Sign Has All The Wisdom You’ll Ever Need
There are some lessons in life that you just need to learn for yourself. You can hear that getting pulled over by the police for speeding is stressful, but you’re probably going to drive a bit recklessly until the fateful moment that you see those lights in your rearview mirror for the first time. The same thing can be said about commenting on a woman’s weight. You don’t truly know how dangerous it is until you do it.
This sign looks like a fun fact about the difference in health between men and women, but it also highlights an important lesson that everyone needs to keep in mind. Keep those comments to yourself!
If This Guy Can Do It, Maybe We’re Not Totally Hopeless
They say that old dogs can’t learn new tricks, and that’s surprisingly accurate. Just try teaching an 11-year-old chihuahua to roll over. It probably won’t listen to you at all. The same adage applies to many humans as well. Some people are so stubborn and stuck in their ways that they just refuse to do anything that’s new. The whole controversy around wearing a mask is a great example of this.
All the people out there that won’t wear one should take a look at this. Even this dog figured out the right way to wear a mask! It took him a few tries, but hey, can you blame him? He has no thumbs.
Where Do We Sign Up for This Job?
Being a vet is hard work. You got to school for years and years only to have to spend every day helping cats with their hairballs. And, despite what those bills might make you think, it’s not like vets are millionaires either. They suffer through a lot of rough stuff for one reason: they want to make your pets feel better. That’s admirable. Personally, we’ll stick with our jobs, but we definitely admire vets. But that’s not to say that there are no upsides to being a veterinarian.
We’re not sure that getting to snuggle up to a dog makes up for all that is hard about being a vet, but it might. This would almost make up for all the troubles we have in our careers. Almost.
Wait, You’re Saying That Web MD Isn’t as Good as a Harvard Degree?
Doctors have tough jobs. They need to deal with crying, annoying children, and crying, annoying adults. too. They also have to withstand something even more irritating: patients assuming they can diagnose themselves Google is so prevalent nowadays that anyone can search their symptoms and immediately come up with an amateur diagnosis. But guess what? Those theories that Web MD comes up with aren’t really all that accurate. We know, totally shocking, right?
At this point, we can only imagine how frustrated doctors are with patients who come into their offices and immediately explain what is wrong with them. Google just isn’t as knowledgeable as a licensed, degree-holding doctor.
An Important Message to All Expecting Moms
Hey, no one ever said having kids would be fun. Yeah, parts of it are great, but many parents will tell you that raising a child is 18 years of pain. Is the pain rewarding? Of course! But there’s a reason why they’re saying that the population of the earth is about to start decreasing. It’s almost like all the millennials got together and collectively realized that having to go through childbirth wasn’t a fun thing to do. Who would’ve thought?
If there’s one piece of advice we could give to anyone having a child, though, it would be to just keep pushing. No, literally. This door to the maternity ward has the right idea. Get it? Ah, medical puns.
We’ve Heard of the Taco Bell Dog, but This Is Ridiculous
If you’re a pet owner, you know just how stressful it is to drop your dog or cat off at the vet. You just know that they’re anxiously waiting for your return, so you can’t linger when you come to rescue them. It’s always a long drive to the vet’s office, but it’s worth it to see a healthy pet looking back at you when you arrive. This person, however, got quite a surprise when they picked up their dog.
No, the pooch didn’t have a cast on one of its legs. Nope, the vet didn’t shave off all of its hair. They just put it in a taco costume. You know, for fun. We like their style.
If Only It Could Keep Away the Monsters in Our Heads
Doctors are known to be firm believers in science. If you come to them expecting some type of holistic cure or magic potion, you’re going to be disappointed. They stick to the facts even when they might be disconcerting to hear. But there are some doctors that make exceptions, particularly when kids are involved. When this child came in sick with worry about monsters in their closets, the doctor knew exactly what to do.
They quickly drew up a prescription for the cure: monster spray. That’s a smart move by that doctor. Now we’re just left wondering why the doctor wouldn’t draw us up a prescription for the Crippling Existential Crisis Spray that we asked for.
Looks Like This Guy Had a Pretty Wild Birthday!
Before you start thinking that this is visual evidence that animals have wilder parties than us humans do, let us explain the context. It may look like this dog just had the craziest birthday of his life, but he actually just went through an operation at the vet’s office. So, no, he’s not taking a nap after drinking too much of his favorite doggy beverage, he’s actually just sleeping off the anesthesia.
But make no mistake: it was indeed his actual birthday. To honor that, the vets at this office decided to take this absolutely hilarious photo. We’re sure he was both confused and delighted when he woke up to his celebration.
Communicating in the Language of the Medical World
Doctors are really good at a lot of things. Getting a medical degree takes decades of tough schooling, so they’re pretty much all geniuses by the time they start practicing medicine. But sometimes that level of expertise comes at a cost. Almost all doctors we know have absolutely terrible handwriting. It must be the same phenomenon that makes all Starbucks workers unable to spell names correctly. They’re too busy with more important things.
The wisdom on this sign is totally unreadable, and we really aren’t surprised. To be honest, this might be easier to read than the last prescription we received at the doctor’s office. We guess that penmanship isn’t a class in medical school.
Doing More Than the Bear Minimum
Wow, those medical schools are really running low on funds these days, eh? It looks like they have resorted to practicing surgery on teddy bears rather than, you know, something actually resembling a human being. We’re not so sure about this. We like Build-a-Bear as much as everybody else, but this is mildly worrying. What if we go under anesthesia only to wake up with one of those bits of plastic that plays a song when we get hugged?
Oh, wait, this is just a doctor doing surgery on a kid’s teddy bear to make them feel better about having an operation themselves? Thank goodness. All those years of playing Operation really paid off.
He Doesn’t Leave Home Without This in His Pocket
We used to make sure we had our wallets and keys stuffed in our pockets before we left the house. But now, it’s all about the mobile phone, and the wallets and keys come second. Those are all the absolute necessities you need before you go out into the world, however. But this doctor has proved to us that we need to start getting our priorities straight again: always make sure we have our wallet, keys, phone, and adorable, tiny dog in our pockets when we leave the house.
Of course, we need to get bigger pockets before we can start carrying a puppy around with us. This guy is lucky that he has a doctor’s coat that he can fit one in. We have no idea why he brought that pup to work, but we love it.
Babies, It’s Cold Outside
There’s not a whole lot of fun that you can have if you work with newborns. It’s a stressful job, and it’s not like you can crack cheeky jokes back and forth with the babies. They’re not interested in comedy; they’re preoccupied with coming to terms with their own newfound consciousness. That’s deep stuff. That means that all the nurses and doctors are bound to get a little bored while working with the little guys.
On this fateful Christmas day, one nurse decided to spice things up a little by making sure that all the newborns were in the holiday spirit. We have to admit, their little stockings are pretty cute. Babies still freak us out, but the little get-pus definitely help.
Hey, Is Someone Chopping Onions in Here?
It seems like people really don’t have any respect these days. Even the most wholesome Youtube video generally devolves into a series of bitter arguments in the comment section. People will scream at each other over parking spots. Long gone are the days of people holding doors open for one another. We’re not sure why, but we blame Tik Tok. But there is one thing that can make people treat each other with kindness, and that is this candle.
It’s cool that these vets decided to go the extra mile and make this classy way of alerting their customers to the fact that they should be respectful. Let’s just hope no one brings up politics while it’s lit.
