LINER NOTES: I thought I might start consolidating these a little and adding liner notes. I started RBLN because I wanted to convey some of the more subtle and outrageous experiences about dealing with Sarcoidosis which are better expressed through cartoons than the written word. I thought that these simple vignettes would perhaps help others to understand the problems we face. And, quite frankly, its a heck of a lot of fun for me. So sit back and enjoy these summer reruns...
In strips one through four we meet the improbable and dubiously lovable Dr. Do-Very-Little; made infamous in several of my journal entries (here, here, and here) and, frighteningly enough, based on my real-life general practitioner. Its a love hate relationship.
The only thing more inept than his command of the english language is his people skills... while he is quite friendly and well-meaning, you are assigned all the importance of a slab of meat rushing down a factory conveyor belt... your head stamped GRADE A PATIENT in deep blue ink. You will rarely catch him without a cup or two of coffee in his hands regardless of the time. I don't think the man sleeps.

I love these strips you do. It's a wonderful way to show the encounters from the perspective of the patient. I sincerely hope the only thing I have in common with your infamous doctor is my coffee habit!
I'm thinking I might have to include these, with full credit of course, in any teachings on sarc I do for docs.
