♪ THEY'RE CREEPY AND COOKIE, MYSTERIOUS AND SPOOK' ♪ >> HALLOWEEN IS COMING.

- NOT AN EASY TIME FOR US DOCTORS, MOSTLY BECAUSE THEY START SHOWING ALL THE SCARY, EVIL DOCTOR MOVIES AGAIN.

LOTS OF TV CHANNELS START PLAYING LATE NIGHT MOVIES ON SHOWS LIKE "“DR.

CHILLER'’S MONSTER HORROR THEATER.

"” IT'’S SO RIDICULOUS.

"“DR.

"” CHILLER DIDN'T EVEN GET INTO MEDICAL SCHOOL, BECAUSE HE ONLY GOT A 97 ON THE MCATS.

HE'’S PROBABLY STILL ON THE WAIT LIST.

YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE HOW MANY SCARY DOCTORS THERE ARE.

THERE'’S DR. FRANKENSTEIN, DR. NO, DR. DOOM, DR.

EVIL, DR. HORRIBLE, DR. JECKYLL, DR. HANNIBAL LECTER, DR. GIGGLES, DR. MOREAU, DR. CALIGARI, DR. PHIBES, AND THE SCARIEST ONE OF ALL, DR. OZ.

NOT SURE HOW ALL THIS SCARY DOCTOR STUFF GOT STARTED.

I GUESS IT COULD BE THE WHITE COAT.

IT CAN MAKE A DOCTOR LOOK SCARY TO SOME PEOPLE, KIND OF LIKE A GHOST WEARING GLASSES.

WE COULD PROBABLY DO WITHOUT THE COAT, BUT THEN WHERE ARE WE GOING TO KEEP ALL THE STUFF TO POKE YOU WITH?

ALL THIS JUST MAKES PEOPLE AFRAID TO GO TO THE DOCTOR.

IT'’S TOO BAD BECAUSE WE SPEND A LOT OF TIME IN THE OFFICE GETTING PEOPLE TO NOT BE AFRAID OF DOCTORS.

WITH LITTLE KIDS, WE TRY TO CALM THEM DOWN AND REASSURE THEM THAT THE CLINIC IS A SAFE PLACE, THERE'’S NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT, AND WE ONLY WANT TO HELP THEM.

THEN THE NURSE COMES IN AND GIVES THEM A SHOT.

WITH GROWNUPS, IT'S DIFFERENT.

WE REASSURE THEM, GET THEM ALL CALMED DOWN, THEN WE DO STUFF THAT MAKES THEM WISH THEY ONLY GOT A SHOT.

BUT, REALLY, MOSTLY WHAT DOCTORS DO IS TALK.

SOME WOULD SAY BOSSY ADVICE.

"“STOP DOING THAT.

DON'’T EAT THAT.

LOSE SOME WEIGHT.

GET OUT, DO SOME WALKING ONCE IN A WHILE."”.

SO, OKAY, WE MAY BE BOSSY BUT THERE'’S NO REASON TO THINK ALL DOCTORS ARE SCARY.

IT'’S JUST A HALLOWEEN THING.

JUST TO PLAY IT SAFE, IF YOU EVER SEE A DOCTOR TALKING ON TV DURING OCTOBER, DON'T PAY ANY ATTENTION AT ALL.
