Have you ever questioned the authenticity of stock photos you see in ads or online? Maybe they don't look real?

That's pretty good. They could have been much harder and snarkier, though! I always wonder why the stock photos of what is supposed to be a doctor always show them with a cheap $10 "nurse's aid" stethoscope (from the prop room no doubt) that no doctor would ever actually use.

Yeah, many stock photos look ridiculous, similar to clothing models - too happy.

That's probably why the doctor was called - that misplaced heart.
