Don't know what to get that doctor in your life for Christmas? Tired of giving a taupe sweater or steak knives year after year? Well, your troubles are over. At MDs ‘R’ Us, we have the perfect holiday gifts for your health-inclined loved ones in almost all medical fields.
Surgery
It's no secret that surgeons are notorious perfectionists, so what better gift than the handsome, hand-crafted SurgStatTM Monitoring Chart. Yes, the name you've trusted for years for all your OR statistical needs is back with a handy, stylish, easy-to-use wall chart that any surgeon would love. Our fully customizable chart comes initially with 2 columns — Wins and Losses — but order before Dec. 15 and we'll personalize the gift with his or her name at no extra cost. A $10 value! New low, low price, $29.99!

AND THAT'S NOT ALL! Christmas is a time for miracles. Show appreciation for that special miracle worker in your life with the Sir Cuts-A-LotTM OR scrubs accessories package. Yes, everyone will know your surgeon is the best with these name tags, business cards, ID badges and a white coat on which "Dr." has been replaced by "Your King" or "Your Queen." Imagine how special that special surgeon will feel! A steal at $149.99!
Radiology
With the development of digital technology in radiology, radiologists don't even have to be in the hospital to do their job — the pictures can be emailed right to the lounge chair in their backyard. Now, our creative team has come up with a fun line of beachwear and accessories for the sun-loving imaging expert. Choose from stylish shorts and Hawaiian print shirts in a wide array of colours. And to ensure that the relaxing radiologist is not disturbed, every order over $50 comes with a fun "Radiologist At Work" sign! Shirts and shorts, $24.99 each.

Family medicine
Family physicians often work with little or no back-up, so it can be hard for them to get the second opinion they need or the kudos they so richly deserve. Now, their troubles are over. The patented Consult 2000TM can help alleviate the stress your loved one faces because of a shortage of specialty support. This device resembles a handsome novelty eight ball and it offers such helpful and insightful comments as: "Go with you gut!", "Great job, Doc!", "Remember not to overmedicate!" and "You made the right choice!". Order before Dec. 1 and have an extra personal message, "You are on fire today!", added at no extra charge. Just $199.99.

Made of a 50:50 cotton–polyester blend and stuffed with imported goose down, these durable "stress-management" devices are the perfect outlet for when that certain on-call specialist doesn't return a page.

With the threat of SARS and the West Nile virus, perhaps you're worried about your loved one's safety. Our top-notch team has created the holiday gift you're looking for!

Psychiatry
No one spends as much time talking to patients as psychiatrists. But let's face it — sometimes the conversation is less than stimulating. Get a real Freudian slip on these patients with these handy Bore-Me-NotTM shades. Available in a wide assortment of colours and styles, they can get any psychiatrist through those long days feeling well rested and rejuvenated. Reduced to $19.99.

Obstetrics
Babies are slippery and difficult to hold when born. That's why we have developed our new Drop-StopTM obstetrics gloves — the perfect gift for the busy obstetrician. Made of a space-age adhesive polymer developed by NASA, we've adapted them to fit right over normal surgical gloves! Moreover, they are disposable and biodegradable! Order one box of 100 for $9.99 and we'll send you another box for FREE!
