Is it tacky?

[radxbandit]

I am going to deliver some letters to some doctors around town to discuss the possibility of shadowing them. There aren't a ton of different practices near me, but there are a few that have a bunch of physicians involved. Would it be tacky to deliver the same letter to each physician (or at least most of them) in the practice?

Probably not. Of course I'd be embarrassed if they all got together and talked about it or something.

Why don't you just call their offices?

 

[tiedyeddog]

I'd say it is tacky. An e-mail or phone call would be much better.

The letter may just be thrown out by the secretary. One never knows how creative some offices can get with a free sheet of paper.

thanks for the feedback

 

[blargh]

agreed, email is better than a letter. letter might be weird.

I'm going to go ahead and predict a match into radiology or pathology for this OP. And I suggest that when said specialty is attained, professional communication be done through person, telephone, or email rather than hand written letters.

yikes that's entirely opposite of what i'd like to do. i just wasn't sure how to pursue this, i guess what i should have asked is what is the best way to contact the physician? anyways, I'm seeing the trend in the responses.

OMG, I laughed so hard, I choked. Did you say SCOMBERDAE??? I'd love to punch that kid in the face.

Thanks for that, man.

I feel bad for that kid.

I called doctor's offices and that seemed to work just fine.

I refer you to The Merry Wives of Windsor, 2.1.61-70.

Sending the exact same letter to several people does not often work out well. Email a couple of them.

I feel bad for that kid.

Seriously. He has no social skills. What is his mum and dad teaching him?

I don't want to make fun of the kid if he is mentally challenged.

But if he isn't, then his parents seriously need to get him to socialize.

That kid likely has a form of autism, but even if he does, he should be interacting with other autistic kids on a regular basis. I'm angry at his parents for isolating him.

There's no license to breed....
