Yesterday, a female resident went in to see a patient. A bit later, she returned with her male attending.
Patient (to the attending): "You're so lucky you get to bring your wife to work with you!"
Attending: [horrified] "She's not my wife!"
Patient: [winks] "Even better..."
I don't even know what to say...

I am a practicing female hematologist/medical oncologist. Just last week I was seeing a new patient in the clinic who was 98 years old. After I met the patient and left the room, the patient asked my nurse practitioner, "Am I going to get to meet the doctor today too, or just his wife?"
ReplyDeleteWhen I did my FP preceptorship in a small town several people called my preceptor's wife because they thought she should know about "this young woman who's running around with Hisname." Oh, well
