We're really surprised no one thought of this sooner: vintage healthcare! Well, sort of. Jay Parkinson declares he is a "new kind of physician," and he is. Revolutionary, in fact. Based out of Williamsburg, he's bringing healthcare to those who wouldn't normally be able to receive it without breaking the bank...giving the uninsured masses a reason to breathe a sigh of relief. He's also mixing this idea with an old one: house calls!
Back to the new edge he's bringing to the medicine game, though -- not only is his service inexpensive and for everyone, you can get checked out online! You see, Dr. Parkinson is a little more "with it" than your average MD, and he's making it easy for his patients. He'll discuss your problems with you over email, IM and video chat -- because who wants to leave their bed when they aren't feeling well? As an added bonus: this means no waiting rooms (unless, we suppose, he sets his IM status to "away").
Sure, when he's not doling out meds and sitting bedside with an ailing patient...he's taking nude photos of the ladies (NSFW!) but that shouldn't creep you out at all. And hey, maybe you can get a new MySpace photo out of this house call if you ask nicely.

Hi,
Not to be a prude (I'm at work here) but that image is slightly NSFW.
button your shirt ass clown
Dcfist is right.
as much as i enjoy looking at that girl's aereolas, her pic shouldn't be on the post.
creepiest thing i've read about all day.
my only complaint is that the image is too small.
Huh? this article makes no sense. Who the hell is this guy, and who would take him seriously when he takes semi-nude pics of...who exactly? patients? It's not really clear. And not to nitpick, but what does this have to do with NYC?
Oh dear, she has legs her spread out - if it weren't for her face I would be aroused...
Ummm, why don't you just remove the picture so you don't have to censor every other message here...? duh
how much did gothamist receive for this ad?
A doctor who takes nude photos? Can't he lose his license for this type of behavior?!
ammerican apparel goes medical
What the hell happened to her knees? She looks like she was attacked. Are we supposed to be turned on or off? This IS confusing.
He seems awfully busy as a photographer from the looks of the various photo web sites he is on.
Is he really an M.D?
Here is an interview with him re: photography not medicine:

What's so confusing? The girl spends a lot of time on her knees...
I would hit big time.
not everyone seems thrilled with the idea:
