"M.D. stands for 'Mostly Divinity' " and other True Stories of a Medical Secretary(Anticoagulation)
Whoever thought M.D. stood for Medical Doctor is dead wrong. Doctors can do anything they want. A case in point: Dr. A.J. McDady has his office just two doors down from mine. His appearences are deceiving. Grey hair, a calmly controlled face, but... He brings his electric guitar to work and plays in between patient visits. On good days he brings his acoustic guitar, and works on his finger-picking until someone reminds him that he is late for a visit.
And he plays extremely well.
Though I work with the anticoagulation clinic, the pharmacists actually work in a different part of the building. The only place for a file room was right in the middle of the radiology and anesthesiology(sp?) units. So the people in radiology and anesthesiology (there's that word again) are really the ones I know the best. There's Dr. McDady, Greg (who I am convinced is ex-army), Paul (who's wife I lead a seventh-grade girls bible study with, and they just had a baby), as well as countless interns and residents that come and go. (At least I think they do. Which comes first Cal-el, being a resident or an intern. And they both come and go, right)
Anyway, lots of people, and I cook cookies for them every Friday.
Hospitals are very busy places. Which is why I haven't posted in so long.

Sounds like the hospital is a very fun place to work. Hectic, yet fun, and interesting.
Btw, sorry I havent talked to ya in awhile. I've been really busy over the past month or two. But now school is finished for the summer so that should lighten my load a bit. Keep in touch and cya at Harmony Hill, Lord willing.
God bless,

Duh. That's an obvious question with an obvious answer josiah. Miss you guys, tell the others hey.
Cal-el RN here!! "Dr. McDady".... that has GOT to be the most AWESOME last name I've EVER heard!! I would trade my entire name and a hundred dollars just for his last name! And yes... MANY-a-doctor develops a "god complex" and they pretty much do what they want and when they want... they have that power. I dare say you spelled anesthesiology correct. And I'm not quite sure, this late at night, about the resident vs. intern thing...I'm confusing myself so... I'll get back to you on that.
OK.... it's the following day and I'm thinking clearer now... the route goes... med. school, then your first year out of med school you're called an intern, followed by 2nd year, 3rd year, 4th year resident, finally after your completion of your final year of residency you are an attending physician!
I'm sure they all look forward to your cookies. Sounds like a great job: interesting place, interesting people, and neat office-y things to do like filing papers while drinking coffee and eating cookies.
Glad to see you back on. I hope that you are having fun at work. Almost cookie day.
