Does Annie Beaver still work in Obstetrics in New York?
Mrs. Ake, a retired RN, was a specialist nurse in rheumatology
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!
I had a client not long ago by the last name Yu and he kept saying his first name was F. Since he only spoke Korean (I believe) we could not understand him, so we had to request his labs and everything else by Mr. F. Yu....that woke up a lot of staff at 3:30am
We have an intensivist/pulmonologist by the name of Dr. Shragg. The other day, one of the new RNs in E.R. heard his name incorrectly, and was having the operator page him overhead as Dr. Shrekk. We were all just busting a gut laughing, because he can really be such an ogre sometimes!
Where i work there is a female doctor named Dr. McCracken......the charge nurse at night can never get her name right, he called her Dr. McCracker right in her face
Another charge nurse at night had to call a Dr. Pirtle but when he answered she called him Dr. Turtle.
Today one of our pulmonologists introduced a new MD just hired into their group. He said, "Meet Dr. Azfal." Well, you know what I thought I heard. I had to look at the guy's name on his coat to see if that other Dr. was kidding. (Try saying the name softly, or quickly - it sounds like Dr. A--hole!) I was relieved to see it wasn't what I thought, but I can't wait to hear him paged overhead; they had better enunciate verrrry clearly!

In a small town in Michigan there used to be twin OB-GYN's with the last name of Dokter. They actually advertised themselves as the Pair of Docs.
