The thread about names got me thinking - not about real names (which honestly, we couldn't make up), but about "pet" names or nicknames that you give to your patients. Do any of you have any interesting ones?
We've used:
Mah-maw, Pah-paw, gomer, smurf, pickle (pickled from one too many), drunk boy (or girl), monkey boy (climbed up on cot, swinging from overhead light), spider monkey chick (thought we were all spider monkies), etc...
Of course the usual and most common (jerk, jack @$$, etc..) also apply.
