Favorite Dr or Nurse Name

Published

I've been having to hold my side while reading the "weirdest name you've heard a patient name her baby" thread.

It got me to thinking that I know lots of interesting dr and nurse names in my area.

We have the surgeon Dr. Butcher

OB/GYN Dr Box

Derm Dr Rash

and my favorite

Urologist Dr. Littlejohn

Do you have any good ones?

Specializes in Acute post op ortho.

Dr. Head, neurologist

Dr. Harold Bush ob/gyn (Harry Bush) delivered my first child.

Dr. Wiener, urologist (snip-snipped my husband after our last child) We used to kid him about his name, he'd correct us...."it's Y--ner...not We-ner."

Dr. Harold Bear, (Harry Bear) pediatrician, not ours, though had he been in network with our insurance....he would have been.

Dr. Frankenstein, he was a really nice man, died in a wreck on his way home from the hospital one night.

Dr. Pacacheck (we all called him Dr. Paycheck, he was a hoot)

Specializes in Med/Surgical; Critical Care; Geriatric.

I've worked at a hospital with a Dr. Dick....and when he was paged on the overhead, we'd all crack up.

I've also worked with a Dr. Doktor.

I think Dr. Finfrock was a funny name....he was known for his milk and molasses enemas as a treatment for post-op gas.

And then there was a Dr. Popadopolous (I think he was Greek).

Dr. Fink

I may have some more ideas later!

Along the same line, when I was a kid our cleaning lady's name was Vaseline Love.

Who does that to their kid?

In 1997, The Boston Globe ran a 3-day series on poverty in Western Massachusetts. One family profiled was the Pickup family. Dad was dead, Mom was on welfare, 5 kids. The middle kid, an 11-year-old boy who was in jail for some reason, was named Chevy Van Pickup.

I know a man named James James. Whenever he's introduced to someone he says "my mom stutters" implying she stuttered when applying for his birth certificate.

I was more taken aback by the revealing of a patient's name. I'm not sure if it's a complete HIPAA violation, but any sentence that starts with "the patient's name is..." sends up a red flag for me.
