Quote:

Now daddy's got to go to another birthday party son . . . Whether bringing life or guarding it, the doctor's personal life fades into the background when duty calls.

Comments:

Even though obstetrician dad has had time to get his coat, scarf, and medical bag, mother is still on the phone with the delivery room. The doctor is shown as a family man – relatable – but also a man who makes sacrifices for the lives of others. Note that the M and D, the first letters of the first two words, are accentuated in red, reinforcing the associated cigarette with medical prestige.

Keywords:

Child, Doctor, Family, Female, Irritation, Male, Mild, Throat
