Jun 19, 2011 by Turd Ferguson 5,131 Visitors; 455 Posts 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. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jul 7, 2011 by davids1 769 Visitors; 5 Posts I have heard of a few interesting names of people that were listed in the local phone book; Harry Butt, Jim Nasium, and James Kirk (this guy had to get prank calls from Star Trek fans). When I was in school I had heard about a guy whose last name was Nguyen and his first name was Phuc. That was his real name! I actually had an opportunity to see his student ID when I was working on campus and that really was his name. At least he would spell his name when people asked him for his name. At the same school there was also an English teacher named Dr. Doctor. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
