Hey, I've got you all beat! I work at a tertiary university hospital doing policy development and working with administrators. Plus I watch House religiously.
"I applied to medical school and I know the pharmacology of my medications, it is perfectly fine to fill my Norco early and can you advance me some Oxycontin as I am seeing my Dr. tomorrow and I am sure he will be refilling my Oxycontin early also. I will just bring the prescription by tomorrow afternoon. OK?"
ah another Dr.Wikipedia. You unfortunately run into these people in every profession. They do tend to result in hilarious statements from time to time.
I'm a nurse and one day I get a patient admitted with xyz and I start explaining whats going to which she replies "I know this stuff, my husband is a Dentist"...
When I was in medical school I ran into someone I had barely known previously. We exchanged pleasantries and I mentioned that I was attending the only medical school in town at that time. He said, "Me, too!" I hadn't seen him around and he didn't strike me as graduate level material, so I asked what school he was attending. He said, "I'm going to ITT tech to learn how to be an x-ray taker!"
Sometimes I wish we would just call it DOCTOR SCHOOL!
I had a woman come to pick up an rx for antibiotic eye drops- she told me she got the infection after using her daughter's eye drops. I started to counsel her on how to properly use the antibiotic and she stopped me halfway saying "I know how to use eye drops; i'm a nurse."
That's on par with my wife's medical degree from the Google School of Medicine.
