The 9pm Miracle Medical Reality with Dr Trent Yarwood

A middle-aged white man in a black t-shirt stands in front of some tropical tree or other, smiling, with his hands clasped behind his back. His hair is brown, as is his beard. He wears spectacles . The t-shirt has a green print in the style of, and indeed taken from, an old video game called Oregon Trail. It shows a covered wagon and the text: You Have Died of Dysentery. — *Dr Trent Yarwood wears the uniform of his people. (Photo: Cassandra Yarwood, The Time Thief Photography)*
