When I heard this person paged at work, I thought it had to be a joke, then later discovered he is one of our peds residents...

Shane Stokes

I used to work at a hospital that had Dr. Eligator and Dr. Assinassin (actually pronounced a SEN a sen). Here in the Houston area, there is a colorectal surgeon named Butts!

I used to work with a surgeon who whose name is Dr Hack, I currently work with a Dr whose name is Asif ( as if) the other problem is asif in the arabic language is another word for saying sorry, and I happen to be working in Saudi Arabia, when the pts ask who the dr is, I tell them and they all look very puzzled for minute, trying to work out whether that is the docs name or whether I am saying sorry for not being able to understand them!

I have heard of a surgeon named Dr Puskas and a dermatologist named Dr Skinner. Who would have ever guessed!
