Original Commentary

...And finally, the man of the hour, Dr. Paul. I've been dealing with a lot of doctors as of late due to getting all my problems fixed and have found that most doctors that aren't general practitioners are generally funny people. Excluding gynecologists. There's nothing funny about their work. -Isabel

Modern Commentary
Ironically, my own doctor was a Dr. Paul at the time. The character wasn't named after him. Just a few months after we created the character, we got regular health insurance and had to choose a physician.

The list we got just had a dozen names on it. We didn't meet the doctors or know anything useful about them. So choosing one who shared a name with one of our characters was just as valid as any other reason.

Dr. Paul (the doctor) was a good doctor so that worked out well enough - Terrence
