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!

Our hospital's oncology surgeon who takes a lot of hopeless cases, is Dr. Graves.

We used to have a Dr. Vijiian (pronounced

Vahjyne, like lady parts) and a Dr. Bush, and a Dr. Lodia, which people mispronounced Lochia. It

was a crackup when we'd hear the operator

page them together overhead.

Now we have a Dr. Morkoc. It is supposed to

be pronounced Morecoach, but people are

forever calling him Morecock. Think he should change the spelling!

Then there was the arogant, conceited E.R.

Dr. Snigma who came up to help us one day with

a code, then belittled us in the ICU for what he felt was an inferior job done, even though

we had already saved the pt. before he got there.

We all howled when the unit secretary called him

Dr. Smegma. (She did it in error, and she

actually did not know what that word meant,

we had to tell her, after we got up from rolling around the floor laughing so hard)

In a neighboring town we have a urologist who advertised pain free vasectomies on Cleaver street. But my favorite is the urologist named Dr. Cummings.:eek:

I kid her about it, but she knows it's all in fun. :D

Years ago I had a patient with the name of Mr. Peters and he had gangrene , guess where.....yep of the member !!
