‘specialist’, in inverted commas

a, colloquially, ‘shrink’

Half a year rolled around, and, the friendly, nice, practically useless ‘specialist’, in inverted commas, telephones, asking what’s been happening?

Just tell the ‘specialist’, in inverted commas, paraphrase, ‘I respect your vocations of guitar, and tennis’ yet I do NOT really necessarily respect your vocation, of ‘specialist’, in inverted commas. Sigmund ‘Fraud’ practitioners (the operative word) are like parasites, being fair to parasites.
