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!

Okay, not an HCP, but my Intro to Legal Process professor in college was named Dr. Supina. And I had another Legal Studies prof named Crooke.

At the University of Wisconsin Hospital there was a Dr. Doctor. When they overhead paged him they had to remember to add his first name, because if they paged just Dr. Doctor, every doctor in the hospital would respond.

Isn't it funny how some of our names fit our professions, or even our experiences? My last name is LeMay. However, I have received mail addressed to Mrs or Frances LaMey in the past. That name fits me better right now, as I am crippled with arthritis.
