Many doctors, especially those who love plants and like to keep them in their clinics will be fascinated by this quote.

There are many things that influence our impression about a person, company or service and some of these might seem totally unrelated.

The late Erma Bombeck, an American humorist writer from Dayton, Ohio (1927-1996) famously coined this expression which typifies how a small detail can totally alter our view of something or someone.

During her career, Bombeck wrote more than 4,500 columns and 12 books, which were on bestseller lists for years. Appearing in 600 newspapers, she was indisputably the most widely syndicated humorist. Since her death, no humor columnist has been able to match her wide appeal.

Erma was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1992. Eventually, she had to undergo a surgical operation called mastectomy. However, to her misfortune, she was again diagnosed with polycystic kidney disease. To survive the incurable genetic disorder she went for routine daily dialysis. Her doctors advised her to undergo a kidney transplant operation. She underwent the surgery on April 3, 1996. In a tragic turn of events, she could not cope up with the complications of the surgery and breathed her last on April 22, 1996.
