Some of you may have doubted that I actually was a practicing doctor. Here is a photograph that just surfaced from Dover General Hospital and Medical Center, c. late 1970’s. I don’t recall, but I was either making an announcement or amusing myself with a silly joke. Of course, I had no idea that someone would be taking my picture.
Jeannie: Part of my job was to amuse the nurses and part of their job was to give me coffee in the middle of the night. I hope one of you RN’s would also mention my miraculous cures like the case of the upside-down girl or the blue lady (whose story I already told on Blogfinger).
And, that was my telescoping pointer, used for lectures. If I had used those ECG calibers, it would have caused brain damage. Paul
Surely someone must have a photo of you with the ‘telescoping’ EKG calipers in your ear!!
OK: I see a Dover General CCU nurse lurking behind that Anonymous ID. Thank you for remembering an old joke–one that I don’t get to use any more. But hearing from you now is wonderful. I’m proud of the job we all did back then. Paul
Thanks for the memory…maybe you were trying to sell your famous “Heparin locks and Heparin bagels”!
Why is a doctor’ work called practice? How long do you have to practice until you are perfect?
It doesn’t look like you. However, with the “coffee shop” sign over your head, it’s just gotta be you!
Well your stethoscope technique does not do a great job of convincing us. However I do see the same sense of humor that I see in you these days. By the way…….nice tie.
Ha, we all know this is Elliot Gould in a famous scene from Mash, keep trying to convince us Paul…..
