Of all the institutions I have dealt with in my long and exceptionally gifted career, quite possibly the most misguided is Church Health Center Wellness.

The CHCW came to my attention like so many others do, with an anonymous e-mail tip reporting of questionably compassionate behavior and chronic do-goodery – so I launched a routine surveillance with wiretaps, thermal scanners, and some x-ray goggles I ordered out of the back of a magazine.

I knew something was amiss when I heard the words “not-for-profit” and “medical care” in the same sentence,  co-joined like a two-headed dragon of financial ruin.

And when I discovered their tinkering with non-FDA approved treatments like “prevention” and “exercise,” I knew it was time to strike.

If ever an intervention was called for – quite loudly and in angry tones – it is  at Church Health Center Wellness.

And answer the call, I shall. Not just once, but three times.

That’s right; I have devised a therapy for these hope-mongers that is so potent, and frankly alarming, that I must separate it into three doses for fear of burning out the internet and plunging the world into chaos.

“Is that the internet again? I smell smoke.”

Part one of this intensive three-part mini-session will enlighten your existence on February 15^th.

Part two will transform your psyche on March 1^st.

And part three will detonate  your dysfunctions on March 15^th.

If you miss these sessions, your life will grow so drab and meaningless that when you finally do return to therapy I will charge you double .

Unless of course I am already charging you double, in which case you’ll eligible for my new triple-dip pricing program.

Guy Cobb is a man who has forgotten how to play by the rules

As a former Bud Light Daredevil, Cobb grew accustomed to ignoring the demands of gravity and when he launched the Tennessee SuperLab Show with its blend of backyard science, impromptu invention, and crazy stunts, things got even worse.

If it were not for my timely intervention, Cobb might still be spiraling wildly out of all bounds.

It will not come easy, surely not without AFITE,* but I will cure Guy Cobb even if it takes every nickel he’s got.

Recently I was conducting a routine security sweep for Patient Zero, maintaining a diligent lookout for terrorists, politicians, and loose change to apply to his bill, when I happened upon longtime therapeutic client, LOBO, who took the opportunity to interview me for his tawdry internet tabloid. 

In the exchange that followed, not only did I provide the invaluable wisdom and insight that have made me an international psychiatric star, I might have even saved Zero’s life.

Now if I just find way to charge him for it.

Get all the details at LOBO’s digital lair, Predator Press.

Visible School founder Ken Steorts is a man badly in need of therapy.

Some nine years ago, armed with only a credit card and a dream, he set out to “fill a need” he saw for the musical and spiritual training of christian musicians and ended up with a full-blown music college for his troubles.

Talk about overcompensating.

Fortunately for him and his students, I am on the case.

With the help of my clinical intervention, and a great deal of cash, I hope to soon set Steorts on a more lucrative and fulfilling course of education, one spent on a more financially endowed student body composed quite possibly of accountants, assassins or even personal injury attorneys.

But until my treatment can take full effect, you can see the current musical mandate of Visible School here.

At first glance Kevin Gaiman seems to be my kind of guy: organized, industrious, frightening.

His Nightshade Manor facility, although billed as a haunted house, is actually a first class psychiatric clinic, specializing in what I like to call “adrenal-assault therapy.*”

Unfortunately, closer examination reveals Gaiman to be riddled with generosity, compassion, and other mental shortcomings.

Unlike myself and other reputable therapists, Kevin pays his staff, and worse still, regularly offers discounted admission to the public.

That’s right. Nightshade Manor brutally lops off $2 of each ticket price for those bearing two items of canned food for the Mid-South Food Bank.

This condition has gotten so bad that over five tons of food have been collected and…how it pains me to say it…donated over the last three years.

Clearly, I reached the man just in time.

He’s a difficult case, but with lots of work, and a small fortune, I’ll have Kevin Gaiman back to adequacy before you can say, “feeding the hungry.”
