    My new doctor looks like a late 30s kliché surfer dude. Long hair, Billabong t-shirt, sandals. Maori tattoos.

    Nice guy. Very professional. Clearly competent.

    However, as much as I generally appreciate the informality of Danish society, I would feel in safer hands with a dry-looking, gray haired early sixties man in a lab coat and a stethoscope around his neck.
