Mel, Nurse

[Davey Do]

A little background on Mel. After graduating from Clown College in 1972, he worked in various capacities in the clown industry, but he was met with bullying from other clowns. They stole his red nose, and sometimes hid his frizzy yellow wig, so eventually Mel was forced to go au naturel. A strange thing happened. Mel discovered that even bare-faced, for the first time in his life, people loved him, even small children and grandmas. Emboldened by their admiration, he decided to try acting. His first role was an orderly on Emergency! He assisted with brain surgery, hobnobbed with pretty nurses, and got to push people around. He realized that he had always had a repressed passion for nursing. The rest is history. Mel had found his "nitch." So much so that after nearly 38 years Mel has practiced his passion for nursing in at least 112 different hospitals and various NH's.
