Nurses are experts at deciphering a doctor’s scrawl on a patient’s chart. But expecting you to read hieroglyphs is taking things a bit too far. That said, this wacky “Lady Healthcare Practitioner” gift is actually kind of cool. It’s personalized with your name translated into Egyptian pictorial language. Actually, it’s probably transliterated rather than translated, if you want to get technical. Here’s an explanation of the symbolism: “The figure is wearing a noble dress and holding an ankh, the Egyptian symbol of life, in her left hand. She is reaching into a fancy chest for medical scrolls. The chest features Isis, the Egyptian goddess of healing, above a row of ankh signs. Beneath her chair sits a chest of the raw ingredients needed for preparing prescriptions. It includes a weigh scale to ensure accurate measurement for these remedies and medicines.”
