My Readers Write

Given that my name is Ibee Grumpy, you'd think I'd be the last person to laugh at someone else's name.

But, since my alert reader Stephanie brought this to my attention, I thought I should share it with all of you (I should be above such juvenile humor, but I'm not). I suspect this group is known in local circles, but...

Anyway, this is a Urology group in Texas, whose members include Dr. Wang, Dr. Hardemann, and (of course) Dr. Dick Chopp.



Sorry, Drs. Wang, Hardemann, and Chopp, but I'm sure you guys hear the jokes all the time. Plus, there's no such thing as bad publicity!

For those of you who don't believe me, here's their website.

And a great big Dr. Grumpy thank you to Stephanie!

    wow. I hope they have some sort of traffic tracker - they'll be wondering where all these hits they'll surely be getting came from!

    LOL! XD

    And to think I was worried when I discovered before my surgery (15 minutes pre-op) this summer that my anesthesiologist's name was Dr. Nutter....

    Best I ever saw for a humerous name was "Dr. D. Doctor", he is a surgeon at a hospital I did a rotation at.

    In Toledo, OH, there is a urologist named Richard Tapper. Yes, his nickname is the obvious.

    GradStudent- I was totally thinking that too. They might think that they are suddenly going to get an influx of new patients or something.

    Depending on regional pronounciation, you may have overlooked another unique name...

    Dr. "Hose"-er

    Maybe it is "House"-er, but it's still another ironic name in the group...

    Classic. Dr. Wang should seriously consider a new first name as well. I don't think I'd want anyone named Lester up in my junk. Perhaps it's as well he didn't match up with OB/GYN?

    Interesting, though not necessarily relevant - when I visted the actual website, what jumped out at me was that ALL OF THE DOCTORS HAVE UNNATURALLY WHITE TEETH! Group discount on whitening? Photoshopped? Enquiring minds want to know. Weird.

    As God is my witness, until at least the mid 1990s there was an OB/GYN in suburban Virginia named Harry Beaver.

    It never fails to amaze me how many professionals seem to be pointed to their careers based on the irony sure to be stirred by their surnames. Or their temperaments, hehe.

    Even funnier, Dr Chopp is "well known in the Austin community for performing vasectomies."

    I quote him "There are more vasectomies to be done"

  25. JulieNovember 4, 2009 at 5:18 AM

    It gets worse - look at Dr Chopp's profile, and I quote:

    AREAS OF SPECIAL INTEREST
    Dr. Richard (Dick) Chopp is well known in the Austin community for performing Vasectomies.

    Guess he takes his name to a new level

    There's an overnight ER doc near me named Dr Rasch. I told him once that with a name like that he ought to have been a dermatologist instead...

    word verification "lessized". Not encouraging in a post about urologists.

    See, you KNOW that Dr. Chopp is doing it on purpose. He could go by "Rick" or "Rich" or "Richie" or hell, even "Skip" if he wanted to. Opting for the always-controversial "Dick" is just wrong.
