I am really unsure how Christian medicine is different from any other good doctors, so maybe these quotation marks are correct. We imagine that we are different! Thanks, Sam.
whoa whoa, calm down. If you read my personal blog you will find that I am myself a committed christian (which may make me more suspicious of others who broadcast their "christian" medicine - as it implies that other doctors are not). About quotation marks, though. Just because they aren't incorrect does not make them necessary. lighten up.
Christian Doctor: "I've got good news, bad news and The Good News. The good news is you're going to heaven. The bad news is you're going there today. The Good News is that God sent his son Jesus down to earth to live as a man, and die for your sins! Pretty good, huh?" ^_^
At least they aren't "different."

ReplyDeleteIs’nt that a quote from Life of Brian?
ReplyDeleteI imagine you walk out completely cured every time.
ReplyDeleteHi, just discovered your blog from a colleague. Never too late!
ReplyDeleteBillions of great writing pieces... Impressive.
It seems we are doing the same kind of job in ours, although it's in french, and we are much more boring, because we're academics, you know...
Is this similar to Christian Scientists? If so, I wouldn't recommend going there for medical treatment...
ReplyDeleteI don't think this is an unnecessay quotation. It's a quote. You may not know who or what they are quoting, but it's perfectly acceptable.
ReplyDeleteIf they had said
We are "different"
you might have had something.
This one seems fine to me.
Of course, maybe you're just being intentionally hostile because they're identifying themselves as Christian...

ReplyDeleteHi, the doctors say "We are different" - this is a quote, quoted speech.
ReplyDeleteSeems borderline to me. They're definitely unnecessary, in the sense that the sign would be perfectly fine without them, but they're not wrong.
ReplyDeleteI also question whether "we are different!" is really a plus when shopping for medical services, but that's another issue.
