Open Letter to Medical Professionals

You are my dentist. You have a last name. I do not want to call you "Doctor Bill." I will call you Doctor and then I will add your surname.

I don't want to be cute. Just fix my teeth. I will try not to cringe when your staff calls you Doctor Bill, but that's not something I can do.

And that goes to any other medical personnel. I cannot feign a chumminess that doesn't exist by calling you "Nurse Nancy" or "Doctor Trish".

Sorry, no can do.
