My brother is a doctor, so I will send this to him. He'll get a chuckle.

Thankfully, I have plenty of medical people in my family and I am not shy, so I will question a doctor in a heartbeat, which most seem to hate. I have dropped more than a few because of their attitudes.

"He works in mysterious ways."

I have seen that phrase used to justify some shitty, shitty things, including the Holocaust.

Note for the Perpetually Offended - these people are dressed as white trash for a Halloween party. No actual white trash were harmed in the making of this picture. Besides, my ethnic background is white trash, so don't be trying to culturally appropriate my lived experience. Or whatever it is you want to be offended about.
