[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Im an MD, [b]I only allow my patients to call me Dr.--it creates boundaries [/b]that are there to protect both of us and to define the relationship. I want to barf when all these school educators go by doctor. [/quote] Ok, I’ll preface this by saying I’m on your side and agree with you on the last part of your post - but the [b]other part[/b] makes you sound like an arrogant dick. If you told me that, I would never call you anything but your first name. See, the thing is, I have boundaries, too. And not suffering people who are full of themselves is one of them. You need to work on your bedside manner, Doc. [/quote] +1000 I call the doctor I see the most (a specialist) by his first name, and he's more than fine with it. I guess he lacks the insecurity PP suffers from. [/quote]
