Oil on Canvas 22" x 28"2000
Once again, I turn to painting to deal with difficult issues. Doctors are a very difficult issue for me. I don't feel they spend enough time with a patient to really get to know the whole situation. Here you see the patient swiftly floating by, trying to reach out to the medical community.

doctors dont seem to really care about the person. they seem to just be in the business for the money.
have you ever seen The Unborn?
she goes to a doctor to figure out what the spot forming in her eye is, and he very carefully examines her eyes and is concerned and after a bit of conversation, he asks "are you by any chance a twin?"
if that happened to me i bet the doctor would just say "don't worry about it, that's normal."
i have also had a lot of experience with hospitals my life, as my mother gets ill often. she is still in pain months after hospital visits and if she asks anyone, they tell her to take an Ibuprofen and sleep and drink water and blahh

That's some amazing surreal work! 
I can identify with the subject too... my friend went to an incompetent or dishonest dentist who messed up her teeth, so now she has to have an expensive surgery to detach and move part of her jaw

Yes, and the insurance industry has only further complicated things. Amazing how going on medicare totally changed the quality of care. I finally have found a couple of really good doctors who listen and have actually done more good than harm.
But you are very insightful in understanding that this is a profession where one small error can forever alter a person's life!
I am so sorry to hear about your friend's dental nightmare. I hope her surgery is successful as her lawsuite!
Take care!
Oh..and thanks again for the wonderful comments about my work!

I agree with the doctors, I don't like them much.
I think the background is simply wonderful. Evil doctors.

This is just excellent work. I'm not sure what to say about it, but it deserves to be commented on. You seem to have a very natural knack for painting...or maybe you had alot of training. Either way this is so well done, and very emotive, which honestly isn't always something I look for much in the art I like, but this is pretty intense.
I have similar feelings about doctors also.
I keep scrolling back up to look at it again, so much to see, yeah good work...

Why thank you very much. I am completely self taught and just "knew" how to paint. Hard to explain, but I was in NYC at the guggenhiem and saw Dali and Frida up close and personel and I had an epiphany and went "I know how to do this"...came home, purhased some oil paints and there ya have it. That was six year ago (where does time fly to these days).
Thanks again!!!

Why this does not have more favorites I do not understand. Yet another wonderful painting it appears I missed in my initial perusals of your gallery. I love your paintings.

I think because I uploaded all my paintings first, then all this other stuff, and the paintings got lost in the shuffle!! I'll re-submit them from time to time to get the attention they deserve! Thanks for your comment!!!

You are so right. Of course, if people didn't sue doctors at the drop of a hat pin into the gut during surgery, perhaps we would have more doctors. But still, when you have to be a patient for life, coming across a doc that really takes time to get to know you as more than a patient is an amazing thing. My specialist, whom I see every three or four months, went to my website and saw this painting, and has spent a long time with me ever since.
To the power of art!

Everyone makes stupid mistakes, but when docters do it, the price is high ><. I don't think I'd ever sue a doctor, if they'd do something horrible on purpose, then there personalities probably wouldn't be the type to get into the medical field in the first place.
...But I think maybe I should point my doctor to your website

Yes, I thought about suing this doctor, even went to my sister's employer (he's the guy that won that huge breast implant settlement a few years back) but they wouldn't take the case. It was all about politics, the reviewing doctor was friends of the doc I wanted to sue. But in the end, I was glad I didn't.
Everyone does make mistakes, and I've had some very bad doctoring, but not because they are malicious, but because I have a complicated case and a rare disease that only five docs in the entire country treat.
