I am overwhelmed with the staff at the Cleveland Clinic while receiving treatment for prostate cancer. They treat each patient with such care! I felt compelled to do a carving for the clinic, so I asked at one of my doctors visit if they thought the clinic would actually hang something I carved. The next week I was told ABSOLUTELY!

So onto a design. I wanted it to be inspirational, but also keep religion out of it - only because there are so many different beliefs I did not want to offend anyone.

This is what I came up with, I need to finish it by Wednesday as that is my last doctors appointment after treatment.

Will post a picture when finished, and hopefully one of it hanging in the clinic.

 

Hope it goes in the Taussig Cancer Center!

 

Again, I start with a design in Photoshop, transfer the pattern and start carving.  Decided to add a touch of color (first time I did this) and final picture is the finished product.  I will be presenting to the Clinic tomorrow (Wed 9/4/2019)  I received prior approval to present something and they agreed to hang it.  Hope it is in the Taussig Center where I received treatment.

 

 

 

 

 

I am sooooo happy to see you here Irish. So happy! 

What a wonderful carving and what a great staff you have. 

They'll hang it for sure, it's a beautiful universal message for all. Way to go!

That is pretty cool...both the excellent care you are receiving and the sign you made. I've known several folks over the years who went there for various specialty treatments and they pretty much all shared a similar opinion of the center.

Did not see where I could edit the post to add an additional picture, so I am just adding another comment.

 

Here I gave the carving to Dr. Tendulkar (2nd from right)  and his staff.  They were thrilled and ensured me it would be hung where other patients would be able to see it.

 

Beautiful picture! So many happy smiles, including yours Bob! And for great reasons!

Great gesture and nice work.  I'm sure other will be inspired by your carving.  Good luck with your health.

It's always neat to treat those who serve you. And, their smiles tell it all. You did some beautiful work, a wonderful thought and to share for the staff and other patients has very long reaches to help others.  Good on you.

Beautiful piece of work.  The smiles on those faces, awesome.

 Good to see your work and that you are well Bob.
