Personal 24/7/365 On–Call Psychiatrist

P28784_500s

Can your therapist do that?

Bet not.

I'll bet yours takes nights and weekends and holidays off and has an answering service that keeps you at bay between appointments.

And let's not even mention what happens every August.

Well, guess what: now you can have your own personal back–up.

Not even the President of the United States has his own psychiatrist with him at all times.

Your talking shrink listens without interruption to all your problems no matter how many times you've been through them in excruciating detail.

Unlike your human doctor, this one will never fall asleep out of boredom with your tiresome complaints.

That is, as long as you have batteries. (They're included.)

The talking shrink has over 70 useful therapeutic phrases such as:

• How are you feeling today? Talk to me.

• That's very interesting, let's explore that further.

• Try to relax; let's talk more about that.

No appointment is ever necessary.

He will even accompany you to work if you like.

Or, if you'd like a second opinion, he won't mind at all if you take him to meet your long–time doctor.

A second opinion is always useful.

Which reminds me of a great Henny Youngman joke:

Man goes to a psychiatrist.

Psychiatrist says, "What seems to be the problem?"

Man says, "I think there's two of me."

Psychiatrist says, "Don't worry — that makes four of us."

Ba–da–dum.

Your new talking companion measures 11.5" x 8" x 4.25" and is poised for an intervention.

Enable him.

$29.98 here.

If you like you can even customize the generic doctor once he arrives: use your imagination to create the therapist of your dreams.
