Friday humor: Avast, ye mateys, this here be ye pirate oncologist!

Louisiana oncologist who in his practice dons the garb and manner of an old-time pirate, in order to lessen the anxiety of some of his cancer patients.

He has been treated for PCa himself, BTW!

Yes, he has a website:

https://marybird.org/doctor/saux/

And here’s ye good doctor-pirate himself:

On his website his pirate peculiarity is presented and discussed along with his professional credentials. There are also some positive patient testimonials re his swashbuckling bedside manner. (“Dr Saux is the best that we have ever met. There will never be one to come close to his care, his humor, his compassion, his flair!”)

Also, according to his website, the cancer center where he works even has an annual “pirate party” (sponsored by him, of course) fundraiser to support patient assistance programs.

Certainly a bit, shall we say, unconventional?

But, shiver me timbers, mateys! If it works, it works.

I guess.

Arghhhh …

Seems like a pretty cool doc…

And we too get a lot of pirate activity in the Tampa Bay area too.
