You’re right, those are great suggestions! Dr. Shepherd was a character on Grey’s anatomy tho so that’s a hard no.

Wait Dr. Hope is so sweet! I love that. And no problems with people misspelling

Idk about the optics of Dr Danger

I reject the concept of automatically taking a partner’s last name, as a woman. I also don’t want my father’s, for personal and professional reasons. It’s wack that we have all collectively agreed that a woman trades ownership and a large part of her identity when married. He should have to do it. I know a woman with the last name Palo who changed her name to something I find ugly when she got married and it ticks me off. It’s sexism for her to change it and not him, but we all ignore it?
I will change my name to a partner’s if they have an awesome last name, but I can’t wait on a hypothetical partner. I actually do know a couple women in my line of work who have ethnic last names that have confused patients. Einstein would be funny but I dare not.

I’m just glad you got to go down a rabbithole. I could riff off old and go with Gold, since that would be a great last name and a nice and convoluted backstory for my hypothetical offspring.

Hiver!!! It means winter in French! I don’t care if people mispronounce it but omg it looks so good spelled out!

I love that, it sounds so classy. I don’t mind if people say things that get old. With my first name, I learned a long time ago to not get annoyed by it, because I would always get “like the spy?” I secretly think a little less of people who say that. Then again, I knew a guy, absolutely beautiful in a gay mysterious way, and told him he looked like a Twilight vampire, and he gave me this withering look and was like “Yeah, I’ve heard that.” So I was the annoying one to someone else with the same problem ahshhahhfhhahhbhhhhhh

Thank you and I appreciate the sentiment. It’s just like if someone comes in for Dr. Chen they might feel some type of way when they see me because I don’t look Asian and need to call the translator. Maybe my last name should be Rootless or Rudderless

That’s beautiful! And good point, I’ll look at more H and nature words.

I went into this field so I could wear PJs to work lol.
This is a whole nother post but the funding is not coming through and I think my lab at the cancer center might close. I’ve been begging my PhDs to go on the local news and kick up a little fuss, but they are camera-shy, and I would be comfortable being on camera but I don’t have knowledge of the ins and outs the way they do. So nobody is comfortable and knowledgeable enough to be the face of our lab. We need a charismatic leader and can’t find one amongst our ranks.

Why do i need to be a hoar? That’s a cool name tho I’ll play with that idea

I graduated last month and I’m doing a research year before applying for residency so yes I do have my certification, but I am not in a place to give advice to others.

You’re being excessively rigid rn

I didn’t even think about the alphabet problem! Now I’m definitely picking one in the early half because that would bug me a lot.

H!

It wouldn’t have my police blotter attached to it though. I’m being jokey about it but it sucks that something I was wrongfully arrested for a decade ago is just there every time you search me. Like, I wasn’t even charged, I was just arrested for a second, but since I don’t do anything to get into papers that’s one of the top things.
Might be worthwhile to look into SEO optimization instead of changing the name. Seems like it’ll be a lot of work either way.

Lmao I was kidding (maybe)

Dr. Hacker would be interesting. I had a Dr. Ripper in training who was brilliant.

What if I did Hard? Dr. Hard sounds kinda cool
- Comment on I'd like to change my last name and want suggestions 4 days ago:
That is actually a really good idea because since I am the only person in the world with my exact name when you google me the police blotter about me being arrested is one of the top results. It sucks because I didn’t do it but the stain is there. If I wanted to pick a famous person I’d have to have the last name Tubman or Beecher-Stowe and I don’t love those, aesthetically.

I don’t get along with my dad either, I feel you. My mom’s maiden is Chen and I don’t look like a Chen so I can’t. I guess I’ll think about the things I love and make a portmanteau or just pick one good one.
- Comment on I'd like to change my last name and want suggestions 4 days ago:
Damn that is a long list. First thought is thank you for taking the time to type it out, second thought is how crazy it is that married women just quietly swallow this additional burden. Saving this comment.
- Comment on I'd like to change my last name and want suggestions 4 days ago:
It would Chen in that case but I don’t want to go too Chinese with the last name because I’m not fluent in Chinese and since I’m a doctor I don’t want patients to assume I can speak Chinese. I have no problem with patients using any language and we have translation services, I just don’t want them to book with me and be disappointed/confused.

Taste is a real talent. Whether it comes to decor, music, apparel, etc it fucking matters. When people have really horrible highlights or facial filler, it matters. Beauty matters. Try living in a beautiful environment and then an ugly one and the ugly one hurts.
I judge people harshly on this matter and I’d be a much happier person if I didn’t. I feel something close to physical pain when something is ugly.

I am a medical expert. I’m not trying to be overly pedantic but my point was that regular sea level air is around 21% oxygen so you were making it sound like the air at high elevations is higher than it is at sea level.
It’s not a wording issue. The link you posted has a table that says 100% O2 at sea level. Literally every single figure in the chart on that page is wrong because they list it as “%O2” instead of saying percent of baseline, which would be out of 21%. So at sea level you’re getting 100% of the normal oxygen in the air, which is 21%, and that declines, but the table is written incorrectly. It says that 8848 meters above sea level the content of air would be 33% oxygen. The table under that is more accurate.
It’s just a bad table and bad writing. Idk if I’m explaining any of this properly.

Re: point 6, oxygen content of air is usually 21%. Did you mean it’s 30% of that normal 21%?
- Comment on Lefty tax 1 week ago:
I don’t consider myself stupid at all but being at a new job with poor training was discombobulating and really hurt my feelings. I was supposed to call someone to let them know something they should have known themselves and then they got irate about not being told and left a review the higher-ups got upset about and I was like damn, am I actually dumb? Because a lot of people are criticizing me right now. In retrospect it was silly but at the time…
- Comment on Dunno where else to post a gripe 1 week ago:
First off, I’m really sorry about your relative and I hope you’re doing well. That’s terrible. Secondly, that isn’t something that can be purely blamed on an automated system. There were people at multiple steps who could have made that stop happening and just didn’t.
I have a funny one. In med school I had a patient with a BMI of 6,000+ and as most probably know 30+ is obese. As a med student I didn’t have the power to change the chart, and I had to go find the charge nurse, which was a struggle in and of itself, and then get her to change it. It took like an hour of my time and her like 15 minutes because she didn’t know how. Someone had entered their height as 5.6 inches instead of 5’6" and we struggled with that. I could have been learning that whole time. We need quality support staff so badly.
