“Common Questions
Q.Is it appropriate to send a sarcastic card to my doctor?
It depends on your relationship! If you have a friendly, established rapport where humor is shared, a lighthearted sarcastic card can be a great way to connect. Avoid it if your interactions are strictly formal or if you're unsure of their sense of humor.
Q.When should I send a New Year's card to my doctor?
Aim to send it in late December so it arrives before New Year's Day. This shows timely holiday spirit without getting lost in the pre-Christmas rush. An e-card can be sent on New Year's Eve or Day itself.
Q.What should I write inside the card besides the wish?
Keep it brief and personal. A simple line of genuine thanks for their care over the past year balances the sarcastic wish perfectly. Something like, 'Seriously though, thank you for all you do. Happy New Year!' works well.
