And my childhood doctor was Dr. Doopie. I am older now, but everytime my mom happens to tell a story from way back when..about Dr. Doopie, I still giggle and she doesn't see the humor in it!

No! this one is too much. HA! Do you think the
guy did a legal name change, just to match
his specialty?

There's a gastroenterologist at my hospital named Dr. Ayasso (pronounced I-ass-o). And the first time I heard the radiologist paged I thought it was code name : Dr. Ilyas (pronounced ileus).
Oh, and Dr. Ayasso's partner is Dr. Ennis (pronounced a little too close to 'anus' for comfort). BTW, they are great GI guys.

Hello,

I am a nurse with one of those funny last names, I am nurse Grim, and yes I have had patients comment on the name, the funniest one though was about a month and half after I started working, a patient called out as soon as I got out of report and the nurse who had him previous to me said that she had been stuggling with him all day, well I get in there and he said I have air in my IV tubing! I looked at it and told him I was going to get the air out. He started getting very anxious and said no lie "God $%^& I knew that other nurse didn't like me but, I never thought she would send the grim reaper nurse in here to kill me!!!" I still die with that one. He was as serious as a heart attack, I had to leave the room and get my supervisor to fix his IV line because I couldn't stop laughing. LOL
