1. Legally change your surname to "Doom".
2. Go to a bar and use the line "The doctor prescribes some sweet lovin'."
3. Start every statement, regardless of topic, with the words "As a doctor, my professional opinion is that..."
4. Write a medical romance novel starring yourself as the young, handsome doctor.
5. "Honey, swallowing really does have health benefits! Trust me, I'm a doctor!"
6. Diagnose people with rectoencephalitis.
7. Cut in line at the grocery store, claiming it's a medical emergency.
8. Wear a doctor's coat and stethoscope everywhere you go.


...add your own 🙂

3 is bad because it makes u seem like u have no personality.

i personally would change my license plate to something MD related, like my last name then MD.

i would also take a few moments, like few days recall all the things i have done to get to this point. i find relaxing to recall old memories.

I like #5. The possibilities to convince others to do things is mind bogglingly evil....
 
If I go into proctology, I will now be known as the "Assman"
 
9. Only ever "drop" in casual, unrelated conversation that I am a doctor when speaking with a man who would say #2 or 5.

haha,

as a woman, I would like to add: saying that #5 is detrimental to one's health. :laugh:
 
I'm sure I could offer a second opinion that suggests otherwise 😀

rofl, I'd hope there wouldn't be a third person in the room when the conversation took place. haha

I can just imagine a random doctor popping in during the act--"actually evidence suggests otherwise..."

come on nobody catch this gem yet? i'm gonna be using that one
 
Address yourself as "The Hero"in all situations...let me demonstrate

Stranger on the street: Hey! would you like a coupon for Jamba Juice, we're having a promotion that ends tomorrow.

You: The Hero would love some Jamba Juice but he doesn't need a coupon. The Hero is given free Jamba at anytime, day or night, because he is parched from saving lives all day...everyday.
 
Those are great OP! I love #6.

Also, in the same vein as #3:

10: Use the phrase "Trust me, I'm a doctor" after saying something questionable
 
Incessantly use the phrase, "I'm a doctor, not a _____!"
 
Introduce yourself as "John Doe, MD" instead of "Dr. John Doe."

For example,

"Hi. I'm John Doe (slight pause) MD"

Everyone is a doctor nowadays, but not everyone is an MD.

Get more abbreviations. Then you can say:

"Hi. I'm John Doe (slight pause) MD (slight pause) PhD (slight pause) MPH (slight pause) MBA."

And at that point, you can just start throwing in random ones you made up yourself if you want to.

For example, take this guy: http://www-hsc.usc.edu/~jadvar/

If he just added a PIMP and a DAWG after his already impressive list, who'd notice?

That's the most ridiculous CV I've ever seen.
 
I fully intend to make my coat "sweep when I go round a corner...with a sense of contained urgency, yet stylish elan"
 
Even though I have no interest in neurosurgery, it would be incredibly awesome to say "it's not brain surgery"... all the time..
 
immediately after becoming an MD, one must call all past lovers to see "how they've been doing" and inform them of your newfound glory!
 
i'm going to fly down to brazil for the world cup.

I hope by then, they'll have replaced the coach with somebody who actually knows what the hell he's doing and can create a good squad that plays well.
 
I actually got out of a speeding ticket already thanks to the white coat!

It was late at night and I was driving HOME actually. But the cop took one look at me in scrubs and coat, said "sorry doc" and sent me on my way.
 
Walk around with sad face 🙂() and cry🙂cry🙂 randomly. When someone asks you what's wrong, show them the educational debt on your credit report then run away while violently flailing your arms and legs. Repeat as time/work load permits.

Write people prescriptions for "More Cowbell."

Lol @ this CV
 
Incessantly use the phrase, "I'm a doctor, not a _____!"

I had a friend who joked she wanted to change her name to Jim and get a job working at Enterprise so she could answer the phone and say "Enterprise, this is Jim." This lead to several of us making comments about famous phrases at work (like one person worked with someone named Elvis and he heard "Elvis has left the building.")

When it was my turn, I turned to them and with the most serious expression on my face told them that the only reason I was going into medicine was so I say "I'm a doctor, not a ____!"

The sad part about this is that I own a Starfleet Medical uniform, a communicator, and lots of other Star Trek stuff and I want to go into aerospace medicine.

All I want to do is get my white coat lined with some amazingly flashy silk paisley fabric so that people can see I'm keeping it classy when my coat flutters as I walk.

I'm jealous. All I have is a Tribble.

I do not have a Tribble.... yet. Of course, how can one only have just one tribble given as though they are "born pregnant?" I live with someone who acts like a Klingon, so perhaps it is a good thing that I do not own a Tribble.

I've also threatened to follow in the footsteps of that dentist with the Star Trek theme if I go into private practice. If nothing else, set up my Star Trek Christmas tree with all the ornaments on it. 🙂
