What's in a name?

The Powers That Be at our hospital put up a decorative historic display about the origins of the place and its role in the history of the community.

Apparently in 1918 they started accepting female residents. They put up a picture of the surgical residents from that year, including the first woman.

Her name? Dr. Goodenough.

Did they have a woman's baseball league too?

My dentist's name is Dr. Lichtenfelt. No kidding.

My uncle's urologist is Dr. Kutzntusoff. Needless to say he goes by his first name at work.

I know a urologist named Dr. Leek. True. I used to care for the patients of a resident in the vascular surgery program named Dr. Payne. Well, at least the spelling is a little different (though the pronounciation is not).

Ummm... my U.S. History teacher was Dr. Olds.

(Yes, he drove an Oldsmobile, too.)
