This week, I want to look at the time honored medical profession. I am currently pissed off by the Health care crisis in the US and feel that seeing some examples of what doctors should be through our wonderful hobby would help.
Now I normally don't get picky, but please don't use purely academic doctorates. I'd be OK with psychiatrists, psychologists, veterinarians, dentists, chiropractors and nurses. Make Mine Medical!
THE RULES:
1) Post One (& ONLY ONE) Cover that fits the theme of this Week's Contest!
2) Cover must be from a Published Comic Book or Collected Volume!
3) Covers must be Posted before Voting Begins!
4) Voting Begins 12 AM Tuesday and Runs Until 12 AM Wednesday PST (3 AM EST)!
5) Vote by Posting the name in BOLD of the Poster whose cover best fits the theme or that you simply like the most! A vote need not be in bold, but it does make it easier to Count-The-Votes!
6) The Winner of the Contest is the Entry with the MOST Votes after the Voting-Period!
7) It's Okay to Discuss the Covers but if you Think Someone's Entry Doesn't Fit the Theme or Violates the Rules, you Don't need to Argue it in the thread, Simply Don't Vote for It!
8) Plus: Occasionally Voting will Result in a Tie! The Person Who Started the Thread will do the Counting that Week will Usually call for a TIE-Breaking --Vote from Someone who has Not Yet Voted!
9) AFTER the Tie-Breaker Vote, Voting Ends and the Winner is Declared by The One Who Started the Thread (or assigned surrogate) and Thus will do the Counting.
10) HAVE FUN!

...and made me wonder if Linda Jean Córdova Carter ever knew she had a whole other comic?

Doctor, doctor, give me a lobotomy
So I don't see what is in front of me
Crash, bang, goes the cradle
Doctor, doctor, give me a remedy
To a red button doomsday melody
Tick, tick, boom, and it's fatal

LOL but all the first doctors that came to mind in "our wonderful hobby" are mostly either supernatural, insane or evil! Originally Posted by CaptCleghorn

Despite being a huge Trek fan, that's the only book I have ever read based on the series. A real good one, too. Originally Posted by CaptCleghorn

Sadly, Vonda N McIntyre passed to the 200th Fandom just a few days ago. Originally Posted by CaptCleghorn
