Kathy Foley was the head of the Catheter Insertion Team (back when they had those in the old days).

Dr Hui (pronounced "Wee") was a urologist whose wife, a nurse, worked as his office manager. Her name was Pi (pronounced "Pee"). Nurse Cox worked for a different team.

Chris Feely always favoured complementary therapies - especially therapeutic massage, while Nurse Fang was more at home with Cosmetic Surgery.

Ed worked with a nun who's last name was Fuchs. He did not know how to pronounce her name - so he asked. And he wanted to die.

Mary Slaughter could never get a post on the Surgical Unit, and Nurse Cutts was never the 'First Pick' Midwife.

Sharon Ward - when she gets promoted - will be Sr. Ward.

Not forgetting Melina, who works on a general medical ward and Nurse Nurse - she goes where she's sent!

Gastroenterologist - Dr Ana Ma

I know of a psychiatrist here in Sydney who is unfortunately named Dr. Allnutt!! :eek:

Ive also had a patient call me a "half nurse" as Im an Enrolled Nurse (similar to an LPN in the USA). He said if I were a "full nurse" I'd be a Registered Nurse. I wasnt sure whether to take offense or just laugh!!

:)

Last year, a patient having her 9th baby chose the name Noah saying it's 'cause there will be "no-a more";)

My sister was finishing nursing school and decided to get married before she finished. Her new husband's name was Brain. Her first Initial is P. Her nursing signature would have been P. Brain, RN if she hadn't hyphenated her maiden name to her new married name.

I am a nursing student in Tucson, AZ USA

My name is Paul T. Kreul

I am hoping that people will address me as "Nurse Paul" instead of the traditional "Nurse Kreul".

People get a good chuckle out of it, and it is usually a good icebreaker. I think the best part is that NO ONE ever forgets my name.

:cool:

My first dentist's name was Dr. Holler.
