I wonder how many doctors are sick of being mistaken for nurses and how many nurses are sick of being mistaken for doctors. Too many scrubs, not enough proper lab coats. That’s probably what it is.

I used a vet clinic where the woman vet (two men one woman) had a plastic engraved nametag that said ‘Yes I AM the Doctor’ as she was getting tired of being mistaken for one of the Vet Techs.
Some hospitals went back to the nursing staff dressing in white instead of scrubs. No mistaking who the nurse is…
And doctors usually make the worse patients. The downtown doc probably came up there so his office wouldn’t find out (at least right away)
I’m actually married to a vet who has her own clinic. The other two Doctors there are women and all three are Native American, and at this time they have an all-female staff – by coincidence. But we go out often on wildlife rescues and people often assume that I’m the Doctor.
Well, actually I am the Doctor. I have my doctorate in Historical Linguistics and its still perfectly good because I’ve never used it.
I have titles I don’t use. Makes life easier in a lot of ways. Most people still do believe Doctor=medical and most of those doctors are male. Congrats Dr. Uncle 🙂 giving birth to a thesis and defending in your orals is an ordeal I would not wish on MOST of my enemies… People also can’t get over ‘Mr. and Dr. Vet’ or better ‘ Dr’s Vet’ or ‘Dr’s A and B Vet’ … rarely encountered, we need more of those!
Taxi, cab, uber, a friend with a driver’s license, a stranger with a car and 15 minutes’ free time…
is this a trick question Kara? am not sure there lol
hoo boy.. I.. (somehow gets noticed by Kara) s-shutting up.. ma’am..
“You may be A doctor, but I am THE doctor”…
It happens daily. I’m a nurse in an ER, but because I’m male, everybody assumes I’m the physician. We have several female physicians who get called ‘nurse’ all the time.
Ugh.
Yeah, my cardiologist is a black woman. I bet she’s just about sick and tired of that kinda thing.
When I need a nurse, I don’t care if you shave or not. Male nurses are just as dedicated, caring and skilled. 🙂 Thank you, for making a difference. Nursing is a hard profession.
shave your face or shave your legs hehe
I must be an imbecile, I’m having trouble following this one.
Nah. Blame my writing. Give it a couple more cartoons, then read back over a half-dozen or so in one go. Then, if I’ve done my job, you’ll go “Ooooohhhhhhh!”
Really? No discussion about this guy being the prophesied romantic rival to Hubris?
OK, I’ll start. Hey Folks, I think this guy is the prophesied romantic rival to Hubris
I think you just started the discussion.
nah am not worried for Hubris.
it’s like they say “too many cooks in the kitchen…” you know.
she would end up KILLING that guy. while hubris “just” gives her work and doesn’t try to argue about it. hehe
not all men are imbeciles just some who cross kara’s path . for hubris is not one. lowel just a friendly pain.
Lovin’ Kara’s partner’s name on the marquee.
I have a fondness- or is it a weakness- for absurd and apropos names.
I will give the guy on the curb a pass. If he’s gone into shock all logic goes out the window. I have been known to do strange things and say stranger things when in shock. (though I have been known to recite the important parts of my medical history and my allergies to ER people despite the fact I couldn’t tell them my name-as I said, shock does strange things)
