There's an orthodontist in the 5 Towns named Dr. Sicklick. Also an allergist by the same name, maybe father and son?

There is a real person named Itchy d!ck, but he is not a doctor.

It seems there are 2 dr Dicks. Both Pediatricians. I know Dina (Donna) and her husbands family and they are all amazing people.

It makes you wonder if there isn't some kind of bas kol, that directs people into professions that match their names.

As a kid I went to a dentist named Dr. Chewback (I doubt that’s how it was spelled but I was a child and thought it was so funny!)

There was an Ob/Gyn who practiced in Monmouth County named Dr. Payne. My aunt used him and the name just stuck in my brain - also because this was a time when children weren't allowed to visit their mother and women actually stayed in the hospital a few days even for an uncomplicated vag*inal delivery.

My cousins and I were taken outside so my aunt could wave to us from her hospital room window.

My mom had a dentist Dr Payne. Yikes!

I work with a guy in IT whose first name is Tech.

And there's a dermatologist at the office we go to named Dr. Demento. (Just a crazy name. Anyone remember the Dr. Demento show?)

My husband refers to our babys doctor as Dr. Starbucks (name is Scharback)
and another dr. as Dr. Pencil (name is Blei- which is yiddish for pencil)
He gives everyone a nickname...
so dr. Pusic was "di pusic zugt"...

night nurse named Kristal- he said "oh, today will be a kristallnacht"

There was a NICU nurse with the last name of Sexton. I'm glad its not my name...
