The zebra. The stripes. The verbiage.

Meet Z(ed)

Meet Z… short for “zebra.” Highly original… we know. Z expects the name to be pronounced using the “Z” pronunciation of our Aussie, British and Canadian friends, Z-ed, as opposed to the “boring” American pronunciation, Z-ee. Yes, we thought him being silly, but we came to realize when calling him out—he gets carried away by his “celebrity” at times—that yelling “Zed!” does put your voice in a lower register that naturally sounds more stern, then does yelling out “Zee!” Try it for yourself… we’ll wait… see what we mean? So, “Zed” it is.

Being a zebra gifted in turning a phrase, we put Z(ed) in charge of patient communications and outreach. Unlike another notable orator who fashioned himself a humble speaker merely communicating great ideas, Z(ed)… yeah, not so much. He fashions himself a Grand Communicator of… well… any idea. He’s harmless, effective, even witty. Do keep an eye out for him in our clinic… fair warning though: He’s a master hide-and-seeker… to be honest it’s mostly hide… but seriously, how does he hide so well while wrapped in such a bold print?
