       No one was more surprised than the physician himself. The drawing was
       unmistakable. It showed the artist, a 7-year-old girl, on the examining
       table. Her older sister was seated nearby in a chair, as was her mother,
       cradling her baby sister. The doctor sat staring at the computer, his back
       to the patient and everyone else. All were smiling. The picture was
       carefully drawn with beautiful colors and details, and you couldn't miss
       the message.
