But I was a pharmacy tech with no medical training... but you just get to where you know, y'know? You see enough people coming in with cholesterol problems and they all have that same skin tone -- whether it's from the cholesterol, or the cholesterol-fighting drugs tearing up their liver, I'm not sure -- that sort of thing. It's been nearly 7 years since I worked in my pharmacy, and I can't remember as many people (or conditions) as I used to, but every now and again, I come up spades.

As for the being recognised by strangers, I apparently have "one of those faces also". On one occasion thought I was aproached (in a pub) by someone who thought I was an actor from a hospital based TV programme called "Casualty", I had to point out that she did recognise me from Casualty (the old English name for the Emergency Dept.), but not the TV programme. She left looking foolish! As for your NP saves lifes...you nougat! I case it has missed your attention this blog attempts to be humourous and I am of course a Brit! I was perfectly aware and trying to keep the post clean! But bless your heart for thinking I was so innocent! Thanks for that Paula!

Probably was from England somewhere. Too funny! My patients also insist on calling me Doc sometimes but they know that I will always correct them.

Well as we say in Spanish: Lo prometido es deuda (it means I keep my promise). I've called so many things today (not so bad,anyway),I'm starting to have identity problems.At least five times I've been called Maria by an elderly gentleman who wouldn't believe my name was just Paula (many Spanish women are called Maria something: Maria del Carmen,Maria Dolores...)No matter how seriously I try to introduce myself as the nurse in charge (I work in Emergency Room Area in a hospital).People would call me Doctora (and God knows I insist I'm a nurse).That's when they don't call me things such as NENA (baby), CHICA (girl),BONITA (pretty),REINA (literally,queen),CARIÑO,MI AMOR,MI CIELO...Or tell me I remind them a relative from an exotic country they haven't met in centuries (my height,my voice,the shape of my face, so familiar...)And the funniest of it all is that these words come from people I've never seen in my life (and do hope not to see again) and usually behave in a passive-agressive way.And last but not least: TU,LA MORENA BAJITA (HEY,YOU, THE PETITE BRUNETTE).Maybe I should have drunk some more coffee to finish my shift in a better mood.It really should't happen in health care. Buen fin de semana para todos.Enjoy your weekend! Buenas noches,Max! Well as we say in Spanish: Lo prometido es deuda (it means I keep my promise).
