I was napping onthe drive back from Orlando last spring. I woke up when the others in the car were laughing....there was a sign....I swear that said:
LAKE UROLOGY....
I kind of did a doubletake. There was a lake, but it was really for a doctors' office. Oh well....imagine the mental pictures though.
I went to high school with a guy named Harry Butt. didn't like being teesed and beat the hell of whom ever teesed him
We have a Dr. Slaughter in are ICU. and a pt named Ima Hooker. the first time I heard that I couldn't needle someone because I was trying hard not to laugh but was shaking like a leaf.
OK, here's mine,
We've had a patient named Harry Dick (no joke)
Used to have a Dr. Dakters
Used to have a Dr. Gaddipatti (overhead operators made it sound like gotta potty)
And the finale, my last name is Kushen (sounds like cushion) and we once had a supervisor who started calling me pin (my first name is Lynn), therefore I'm Pin Kushen to my coworkers. My daughters hate it when I mention that I considered naming them Whoopi!:)
