[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the weirdest thing was from the moment of becoming pregnant, people in the medical field feeling entitled to call me “mom” or “mama”. I immediately shut it down in my OB practice when I switched (my original OB was older and very professional and would never have allowed it in her practice). The baby isn’t here. You’re not treating the baby. I’m your patient and I have a first name, or you may call me Ms. Surname, but I am not “Mama” to you, and if I was, I would have raised you better.[/quote] It’s because you probably have a hard to pronounce name, or you’re in area with a lot of other people who have unusual or hard to pronounce names. I’m not in the medical field but am bright enough to know that, at minimum, over half of their patients in the year 2024 with unprecedented immigration are not named “George”. [/quote] Nope, I have an easy phonetic name. And a medical professional who can pronounce cholestasis and episiotomy can be expected to ask a patient with a non-phonetic name how to correctly pronounce it. Do you think when men with “hard to pronounce” names show up in the doctors office the nurse calls them “dad”?[/quote] Tell me you’re not in the medical profession without telling me. You would be sued in 2 seconds flat. [/quote] Weird, my concierge PCP asked in our first appointment what I would like to be called, and whether I preferred to call her Dr. _______ or by her first name. She’s still in business so I guess she has great liability insurance.[/quote] Cuz you’ve got some red effing flags already written in your chart, lady. Your future providers are forewarned. [/quote]
