How to drive an ER doc nuts

Dr. Grumpy: "Okay, I'll swing by and have a look at her. Who's admitting her?"

Dr. Er: "Doctor Hu."

Dr. Grumpy: "Who?"

Dr. Er: "Hu."

Dr. Grumpy: "Dr. Who, the TV show?"

Dr. Er: "No! Dr. Hu, the hospitalist."

Dr. Grumpy: "That's what I asked? Who's admitting her?"

Dr. Er: "Hu."

Dr. Grumpy: "Who?"

Dr. Er: "Grumpy, you're a pain in the ass." (click)

    Dr. G....even as a plagarist you are adorable. You constantly brighten my life. Thank you.
    (hmmmm, how DO you spell "Plagarist"?
    Oh well, you know what I mean.

    My husband works with a guy named Wing Man. I wonder if he's grown tired of the Top Gun references yet.


    Word Verification: Wing Syn. How ironic.

    Coast Guardsmen/women who have not been to school yet are called Seaman. My last name sounds like "slime". Over the PA system, when I received a telephone call. "Now Seaman Slime, you have a phone call..." You crack me up Dr. Grumpy

    I needed to leave a message for the pharmacist that was in the next day, so I asked the tech to look at the schedule...
    me: who's the pharmacist in tomorrow?
    tech: Aymin (pronounced "I'm in")
    me: that's great, but I need to know the pharmacist...
    tech: Aymin.
    You can imagine how the rest of the conversation went.
    Names are glorious.

    Too bad the patient's name wasn't Mr Watt. "Hu's admitting Watt?"

    That's as bad as sitting on a 4 hr plane ride with a grumpy toddler listening to my husband gleefully tell a fellow passenger we were headed to Ware (Ma.) when asked where we were headed. Soooo painful!

    Was at uni with a girl called Sarah Fluck - usually known as "Sarah with an ell". Her father had been a chaplain in the armed forces.

    Then there was the naive law student who didn't quite get the definition of rape lecture: "what have sailors got to do with it?".

    Both true!

    I had actually worked with someone who was named Bonbrake. Guess that person missed his calling. Should have been an orthopedic surgeon it would have fit, just would have been spelled incorrectly.

    Or my sister's friend in elementary school named Penny Nickel. Kids use to call her six cents, which undoubtedly wore thin very quickly.
