I was sorting mail the other day and happened to see a picture beside the address box on a catalog. The caption read "because life happens" and there was a picture of a doll with hair that looked like someone had electrocuted her. And after that there was a link for the American Girl Doll Hospital. I thought it was a joke. Really, a doll hospital? Here's the link....there's not much to see though. But there is a form if you are in need of a surgery, or even just a general cleaning. They have an admittance process. From there, diagnosis, treatment, and discharge. When you get your doll back it will have a hospital gown, an ID bracelet, a Certificate of Good Health, a “get well” balloon, and a band-aid sticker.
Anyone else find this even slightly amusing? I, of course, have to wonder if they offer insurance to cover the hospital stays.
I don't know if it's amusing or disturbing. I wonder how much it costs or if it is just a copay?
ReplyDeletei've heard about this... another reason i'm happy i don't have a girl... this is expensive and there is no american girl doll insurance... it's all out of pocket~
ReplyDeleteOh my. So far I have managed to keep Ciara completely oblivious to the existence of American Girl dolls...how much longer do you think I can get away with it?
ReplyDeleteDoll Hospitals have been around for a long time! But the picture seems a bit disturbing and unnecessary!!!
ReplyDeleteHa! For some reason this is really funny to me.
ReplyDeleteBut give us a few years and I'm sure we'll be using their services...*sigh* What will they think of next?
