. . . the trend toward the sort of ubiquitous "comfort animals" seen throughout America in this Our Modern 21st Century. DOCTOR PINK illustrates how the soft touch of a furry critter often will do more for a patient than a half dozen oncologists. In addition to this benefit, DOCTOR PINK illustrates how a so-called "dumb beast" often can resolve a dire life-threatening health threat far more quickly than the staff at a hospital where all the doctors have studied in college at least 10 years. For instance, if a dude is suffering from having a banana stuck in his ear--perhaps the truck drive from Harry C's ballad "30,000 pounds of bananas"--a chimp, gorilla or panther can simply save face by scarfing down the yellow fruit, peel and all. Pink shows more promise as a diagnostician than TV's Dr. Louse, or that childish quack Boogie Howitzer. As DOCTOR PINK's conclusion reveals, this sort of healing success is sure to enrage hospital administrators.
