That's coming home from work right?! I'm sure l left for work out of the side door, just now around half an hour ago?

Ha! I think I remember this photo. Was taken during lockdown. Was meant to convey ‘normalcy’

I don't think I've ever had a doctor I felt I could contact directly, let alone text. Best I've ever had was that I could contact the reception / nurses and leave a message with them, then expect them to ask the doctor my question and get back to me.

I understand why doctors form a boundary between themselves and patients, I don't begrudge them their privacy, but I always see this kind of post and wonder whether or not my experience is the minority.

edit: remove random word that my keyboard left in there, as a treat.

You probably just haven't seen a specific doc enough (which is a good thing!)

If you're the type of person to live this kind of meme, you're probably been seeing a specific doc regularly to work on a chronic condition (once a month maybe even once a week) for months if not years. And the doc referenced in this meme would probably also be a psychiatrist

Fair enough. I'm sorry if you have to live through this.

No, getting through to a doctor is harder than contacting a celebrity in my country. Cheap healthcare though..

Looks like Dr. Jacoby. Is he texting himself?
