My GP has what I'd call a focus on textures, with a large Celtic design paper molding and a large woven piece of what looks like hand-dyed fabric strips. The cardiologist has western art, one piece is a collection of different (and labeled) barbed-wire, and two Remington prints. What's surprising is that the originals for BOTH prints are in my hometown museum close to Bartlesville, Okla. The gastro-guy has abstract screen prints and my endocrinologist has watercolor landscapes, mostly featuring bluebonnets. Probably the most unique is the sports medicine group, I see the pain management specialist and occasionally the orthopedic guy. Each piece there includes an action photo and a jersey from a particular patient, the sports are varied. I recall Lance Armstrong (cycling), Steve Nash (basketball), Mike Modano (hockey) and Troy Aikman (football). Unfortunately, two of my stable also have the same blue-gray chairs. Hate them chairs!Janet Detter Margulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05247350850653875480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29373297.post-67735210992551968372010-05-01T12:16:34.576-04:002010-05-01T12:16:34.576-04:00Even the magazines are the same: Time, Newsweek, N...Even the magazines are the same: Time, Newsweek, New Yorker . . .<br /><br /><br />I am with SAin MO.. even in upstate you get Sport's Illustrated, Women's World and Better Homes and Garden and the ubiquitous PEOPLE (blagh!)<br /><br />NEVER pray for patience--you will always get plenty of opportunity to practice it!Muthah+https://www.blogger.com/profile/10589837671378205837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29373297.post-36551311390619922152010-04-30T22:14:46.075-04:002010-04-30T22:14:46.075-04:00Along with the ubiquitous blue vinyl chairs, waiti...Along with the ubiquitous blue vinyl chairs, waiting rooms invariably have generic artwork on the walls. I've never understood why, though it is probably because it can't possibly be threatening or a source of anxiety (or interest!) to someone stuck in the room with a lot of time on their hands.Ashleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29373297.post-55847809188012016532010-04-30T14:09:27.470-04:002010-04-30T14:09:27.470-04:00The New Yorker in a waiting room?
