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?

that out?"

Dr. Fundus, not an OB

and a very no-nonsense surgeon named Dr. Campos whose real last name was Campos de la Borbolla which translated means fields of bubbles!

After traveling to Spain recently, I learned that Borbolla is a northern province there so more likely his name came from there but while I worked with him, I was always tickled by looking at his serious demeanor and thinking in my head, "Heehee behind that stern face you're just a field of bubbles!"
