I read this today in the New York Times wedding announcements. this is the part of the blurb that describes how this couple met:

A malfunctioning heart provided the couple with an introduction in October 2001. Dr. Choi was tending to the patient and Dr. Fedson was called in for a cardiology consultation.

"This guy was a transplant patient — I think he had a kidney-pancreas transplant, but he wasn't doing very well," Dr. Choi recalled. "He had a funky rhythm."

When Dr. Fedson appeared, Dr. Choi was impressed by her.

"She was confident, intelligent, attractive and very approachable," he said.

Over the next couple of weeks, the two continued to talk about managing the patient's care. Then Dr. Choi added a new element to their conversation.

"I sent her a flirtatious text page," he said. "I didn't sign it, because I probably forgot and I assumed she probably knew it was me."

Dr. Fedson realized that she was being asked for a different sort of reading of a heart, and she knew without having to be told who was doing the asking.

"It was one of those things," she said. "This is Gene and Gene is flirting with me. Fortunately, I paged back the right person."

dude- according to that thread 35% of female physicians are NOT married, meaning 65% ARE married.

Haybrant- it takes a little more than a text message 😉 but if i were that cardiologist and you were the transplant surgen and you looked like Adrien Brody, a text message would be all you would need.
