In Israel, I had a 105 yr old female, brought in from a nursing home, completely out of it, we had no idea why she was there, but when you pushed on her abdomen she would go, "WEEEEEEEEEEEE." Anyway, her name was Ima Gomer.

 

[kungfufishing]

I had a girl named Sprinkles (last name HIPAA withheld). Im sure "sprinkles" is an old family name?

When I used to help teach fire recruit school, there was a probie named Randy Beavers. "Uh, you might want to either go by your middle name or by Randall." I didn't have the heart to check and make sure his middle name wasn't Harold

 

[GeneralVeers]

Had two patient names in med school:

Old lady complaining of feeling sick: Lottie Payne

The best one ever was another old lady: Ada Beaver

That last one almost got me kicked out of the ER for laughing too much.

Mike Hunt

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Hunt

I personally know someone with this name. When he first joked about it, I didn't get it. Went right over my head. Not till he said it like 3-4 times did I get it. I'm a little slow sometimes.

 

[southerndoc]

I've always found the name ****head (pronounced Sha-teed) a little concerning.

Edit: S-h-i-t-head, but it's pronounced Shateed. See, even SDN censors it!

 

[Apollyon]

I've always found the name ****head (pronounced Sha-teed) a little concerning.

Edit: S-h-i-t-head, but it's pronounced Shateed. See, even SDN censors it!

It is also pronounced "Shih-theed" and "Shih-thay-ed".

Yup, there must be a few. There is a Sh&#head running around with a brother named (first and middle) Cash Money. No joke. I hope the mom's name was Stupid A$$ Woman but was not able to get that info. Those poor kids are destined to suck at life.

 

[docB]

So how many of these can be backed up? I think a lot are medical urban legends.

 

[MirrorTodd]

I'd put 100 bucks on southerndoc's being real.

 

[Beau Geste]

In college, I went to an OB/GYN named Dr. Klam.

Nicest guy.

 

[trkd]

checking the white pages online would work for adults. So far, I would believe most of what was given (although, if I were not the one sure of Cash Money, I would have some doubt about that one).

 

[deleted87716]

One of my partners had a patient named Ho Li Phuk (she was Vietnamese). Calling her back from the waiting room was always interesting. 😉

 

[FoughtFyr]

Went to high school with and was friends with a young lady whose last name was "Doctor". Her father was a physician, and my friend aspired to be a physician. Now, if she reached her goal (we are now out of touch) and she and her father went into practice together, their nurse would be:
"The Doctors Doctors' Nurse"
Likewise, a physician in their employ would be:
"The Doctors Doctors' Doctor"

Just a thought...

BTW - I have had a young female patient named "Toshiba" and one named "Female" pronounced "fee-mal-ay".

well, there are Cash, Rope, and Tygh (pronounced Tie) Myers, all professional rodeo cowboys (well, Tygh's a cowgirl)

There is a pediatrician near where I grew up named Dr. Harry Pepe. Not a joke. He still practices in Hollywood, FL.

 

[Miami_med]

His group is Dr. Harry Pepe and Associates (Yes, I know that is worse).

 

[deleted87716]

You can bet he'll never abbreviate the word "associates." 😉

 

[NateintheED]

Once saw a kid named Ivory Snow in the peds ED in med school. Oh, and in same ED, one of the other resients had a kid with first name of Kingdavid (yep, all 1 word).

Why to parents do this to their kids????

 

[bjolly]

I once met a man named Paul Badmarriage. I can just picture his wedding: I now pronounce you...Mr. and Mrs. Badmarriage.

I had a patient while in med school named Cinderella. Also saw a patient with a last name of Gas. Went to school with a guy named Vu Vo.

 

[DropkickMurphy]

When I was in the Air Force there was some Nigerian guy on our base who his first name was an unpronouncable string of syllables and he went by the shortened version "Bubo" (bah-you-bo). He didn't get the joke (he worked on the flightline) when I asked him if he had siblings named Newmonica and Septicemika, until I explained the whole bubonic plague thing to him.

 

[Anuwolf]

There is a pediatrician near where I grew up named Dr. Harry Pepe. Not a joke. He still practices in Hollywood, FL.

hahaha I drive past his office all the time! I'll try to take a snapshot of his office.

 

[edinOH]

I did residency in Baton Rouge, partially at the Charity hospital there.

There was a well known patient there by the name of...

Delicious Peters.

I loved it when ol' Delicious would present for her clinic follow up. Being a charity hospital, we were about twenty years behind the times in patient privacy.

I can still hear the lady at the front announcing on the overhead speaker "Delicious Peters, please wait outside the A hall treatment room."

You just can't make this stuff up.

 

[EMDrMoe]

First names in the Peds ED:
Phalacia
Candida (knickname: Candy)

Mike Hunt

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Hunt

A little behind cause I never opened this thread before but,

HA ha. I went to school with a guy named Mike Hunt. I never understood why he didn't just go by Michael. I mean when we were kids we had no idea but sometime around 6th grade or so his name turned pretty funny.

 

[beanbean]

Harry Hoar, MD

Graduated from UConn several years ago and gave one of the funniest performances at the annual "Culture Shock" skit show in recent memory....all about having such a special name. I am a "Hoar", my father is a "hoar". When my father married my mother she became a "Hoar".

 

[EM_Rebuilder]

In Texas, I have seen a few of the common odd hispanic names such as:

ABCDE (ab-sa-dee)
NEVAEH (Na-Vay-Eh) (Look what it is spelled backwards if you didnt get it yet)

 

[anonymousEM]

the one in the peds er i never figured out was THYROID ( seriously it doesn't even sound as nice as gon-nor-rea or nevaeh or even shi-thee-ad) I've seen all of those several times.
