This week's word is PRACTICE here's the picture and my offering using the picture and word of the week  in 140 characters, including spaces and punctuation.




As a new GP John was looking forward to starting his new practice in the quaint little town,

but that was before he saw the surgery building.

Stumbling onto your blog this morning inspired me to submit a '140'. Thanks
....practice, practice, practice.
And yes, I got to Carnegie Hall--long story!

Valerie said...

Nice one. Delapidated was word for that building.

Three attempts later I got on here without seeing that scary notice.

Akelamalu said...

Too late Bee, he's committed! :0

No it doesn't Ron, hardly suitable for a Doctor's surgery. LOL

Really Cloudia????

LOL Beach!

Thankyou mjunta :)

Cheers Daryl x

Glad to have inspired you Steve, welcome aboard 'Succinctly Yours'!

Yes delapidated would have been a great word for this one Valerie. Sorry you had problems getting on here. I put a Twitter button up and wondered if it was that causing the problem, so I took it off.

Talk about a lawsuit waiting to happen! LOL

Maude Lynn said...

Run, John! Run!

Pat said...

Yikes! Perhaps he can gut it and make it a state-of-the-art clinic with the money he saves in cost of the building.

Anonymous said...

Damn. That's the most ramshackle surgery building I've ever seen.

Kay L. Davies said...

LOL, another doctor in the old schoolhouse. Wonderful. I love it.

What Cloudia said but mine was the hospital in Bermuda.
If he wants a small town to practice in he should move to Montgomery, Texas. We could use him.

An altruistic surgeon, challenged by rural reality. Made me laugh!

Rek Sesh said...

This was a really good one...I can imagine his chagrined/crestfallen face as he drove up to the historic landmark. ;)

Grandma's Goulash said...

I'm betting the anesthesiologist just hands the patient a bottle of whiskey and the nurse passes a saw. :D

I've seen some spooky mf's this week, but this beats them all.

Helen A. Howell said...

Ha ha that's funny! I hope his instruments are more up- to- date than the building! ^__^

Is there time for him to change his mind? I loved your take this week :)

Calico Crazy said...

There isn't enough money in the world to convince me to undergo surgery in that place!

Flowerpot said...

Brilliant - where did you get that picture from?!

katie eggeman said...

You got it all. This looks like some buildings on the high ways here in Missouri.

Akelamalu said...

Happy to make you smile Seasons :)

Indeed he would certainly look crestfallen Rek LOL

I think you're probably right Grandma!

Hopefully Helen LOL

Whatever do you mean G? LOL

No, too late Susan ;)

Me neither Calico Crazy LOL

Pooch said...

Poor Doc! Disappointment and anguish ensued!

Linda said...

Ack! Looks like the building itself is in need of a bit of surgery!

MorningAJ said...

Did you ever watch the TV series Northern Exposure? It COULD have been worse!

Akelamalu said...

Yep poor doc Pooch ;)

Indeed it does Linda LOL
