Today, after yet another patient left the office saying “Dottoré, I care about you. I prayed the rosary for you,” I decided to take matters into my own hands.
Given the very limited results that prayer has yielded for me personally, I will from now on display a sign on my door that reads: “No prayers — good deeds only. It takes you less time to make me a frittata di maccheroni than to recite the rosary.”
