The only time I've ever had a doctor do something like this was while visiting my dr after my freshman year.  He asked what I wanted to do and I told him I wanted to go into physical therapy.  He ranted for like 5 minutes about how "I guess they'll let anyone be called a doctor these days".

Your doctor sounds like an insecure loser.

I forget people's names like a second after I"m introduced.  Maybe less.  Maybe it's not even forgetting because I never took it in to begin with.  So I guess anything funky that would make me remember their name would be good.

Maybe give your name and @.  Hi, I'm Trim, @TrimGoEMAW.  @ me if you're gonna talk bad about me.

also, i know a couple that received a wedding invitation and it was addressed to mr and mrs _______. the guy is a doctor and the wife made a really hilarious remark to the effect that the couple getting married would not be getting as nice of a present from them because of this mixup and that they would be getting a "mr type of present" and not a "dr type of present". oh my god i said to myself. what a clown. :lol:

but did they take their kids to the wedding???????

i hate (really hate, not an exaggeration) the use of dr. with a first name.  i'm fine with it with a surname, and for most of my life have almost always addressed anyone older than me by dr./mr. surname unless instructed not to.

the dr. first thing name is a juxtaposition, as well as insulting.  first names are familiar, honorifics are formal and indicators of status.  you can't use both at the same time unless you're a complete bad person.

That settles it, you are in the top 5 posters dobber wants to meet. I don't know who the other four are, so the rest of you can all just relax. Looking forward to meeting you Dr. sys!

it really is pretty stupid that a lot of healthcare jobs/degrees are moving to a doctoring level profession, but in the case of physical therapists and some other comparables, i understand it. they want true autonomy and direct access to patients without the patient needing a physician referral and they weren't going to get there with the designator being a masters.

also have never thought about it but i agree with sys. dr and then first name is just the worst. like, hey you should call me doctor but to liven it up and show you how fun i am, you can also call me by my first name. just horrible.

my brother bought me a plane ticket one time as Dr. Mikeyis4dcats.   When we checked in the lady at the counter was all "Welcome Dr. Mikeyis4dcats" and very nice and stuff, and we got bumped to 1st.    So there's that.

I was totally confused....and he was laughing his ass off.

One time I selected "Dr" as the title when I was booking my flight, it showed up on my ticket as "Dr. Ben Ji". Security guy asks my name and I say "Ben Ji" and he is all like, "Is that it?" and I was all like..."Um, yeah?" Then he asked if I was a Dr and that if I put that on my ticket I have to say my name as "Dr. Ben Ji".

Whatever, I got on the flight.
