Doctor.
A physician, medical practitioner or medical doctor is a person who practices medicine and is concerned with maintaining or restoring human health through the study, diagnosis, and treatment of disease and injury.

In English, there have been many synonyms for physician, both old and new, with some semantic variation. The noun phrase medical practitioner is perhaps the most widely understood and neutral synonym. Medical practitioner is lengthy but it covers both medical specialists and general practitioners, and historically would include physicians, surgeons or apothecaries. In England, apothecaries historically included those who now would be called general practitioners and pharmacists. Select this link to view our Nurse’s Are Angel’s with Invisible Wings.

Christmas Spider Story.
Proud of her Christmas tree, an elderly woman left to attend Christmas Eve Services. While away, a white spider spiraled the tree marveling at the decorations. Realizing he left his webbing all around the tree, he scurried away. Shortly afterwards, Santa arrived. Knowing the lady would be devastated by the spider’s unwelcome contribution, he added glitter to all the webbing on the tree and created a shimmering sight to behold. The woman returned to delight in the sparkling addition made to her tree. And thus “tinsel” was created. Select this link to view our Santa with Baby Jesus Ornament.
