I do not know my orthos' first name, and I only know his last name the day of the appointment. Burrell picked my first GP, and my second GP was "who has an appointment soon in the same office?" My migraine doctors were a) the first neuro my GP mentioned, the second neuro the first neuro mentioned, another neuro the first neuro mentioned, an ENT two nurses mentioned. I think there's an Ernestine and a Charles and a Baldeep in the bunch, but even though there are a broad mix of ethnicities, there's not a strong accent to be had.
I've rarely known the name of ER doctors, but never had accent problems there either. I'd never even thought about it as an issue. Doctors in this nabe tend to be all about the Miss and the Mrs, so they don't use my first name, I don't use theirs, so if I am presented with two all else equal choices (never happened yet), maybe it subconsciously affects my coin toss?
I might as well pick based on their star sign, because Dr Alice Watson might very well be using Alice as her English name and married into Watson and have a thick whatever accent. How would I know? I'd just ditch her after the first unsatisfactory appointment, and that would suck. But given the docs I've had, evaluating names wouldn't give me accent information.
I want asshole information. I want front desk information. I want timely response information. Name? Please.
