The Word Doctor with Dr. Ruth Wordheimer is a segment hosted by Dr. Ruth Wordheimer. In these segments, Ruth Westheimer portrays "Dr. Ruth Wordheimer", a friendly therapist. Her two types of clients are monkeys who need help reading or understanding long or difficult words, having a "Long Word Freakout", or words that are dissatisfied with their current meaning. By replacing certain well-chosen letters, Dr. Wordheimer is able to give the word a new meaning and a new lease on life.
