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.
