I just heard yesterday about a doctor in Grand Rapids whose last name is Doctor. Yes, Doctor Doctor. As in a nurse asking, "Dr. Doctor. Is the patient patient?". One of the good Doctor's patients told me about the name.
It made me think of some funny doctor names I have seen over the years. All of these are ones I have met in person, seen their business signs, or one of their patients told me about them. I've gleaned none from Internet lists.
- Dr. Bump (gynecologist)
- Dr. Lung (Cardiopulmonary.... yes that includes lungs)
- Dr. Hurt (dentist)
- Dr. Butt (not a proctologist. Shame)
- Dr. Paine (another dentist)
- Dr. Mandeville (a dentist. Think mandible)
- Dr. Foote (not podiatry)
- Dr. Gum (not a dentist)
- Dr. Bruce Lee (a dentist)
- Dr. Clinton Gore (another dentist. And a Republican, to boot.)
Surely others have encountered doctors with funny names. Any to add to this?

My Dr. is Farah Khan. It always gave me a chuckle
That's pretty funny. Do this doctor's bills always end in 19 cents?
I can't think of any funny doctor names, but Dr. Doctor is my favorite :-)
Our eye doctors when I was growing up were Dr. Snow and Dr. Fog. That is the honest truth. In fact, it was Pepper Snow. Yes, Dr. Pepper Snow. hee hee
I have none to add to this list. Of course, now I will be on the lookout.
Ananda: I love Dr. Snow and Dr. Fog. I could imagine them being rivals, like Heat Miser and Snow Miser.
There is a Dr. Doctor in South Bend also. Along with a Dr. Dew. I remember a Dr Paine in the Frankfort area. A friend who went to him, described him as "an old school dentist who didn't like to use Novocaine".
Ah, a Robert Palmer reference. One of my favs. My doc doesn't have a funny name (until I receive his bill)
Oh, what was the name of that veterinarian over on the highway when I was a child? Not the one we went to! If I can think of it, I'll get back to you, because it was a name I found very off-putting in relation to my dogs and cats.
Indiana: "Dr Dew" sounds like some sort of unholy mixed softdrink popular in the South.
I totally missed the Robert Palmer reference until DaBlade pointed it out. Must not have had enough caffine this morning.
Isn't Doctor Doctor a Thompson Twins song?
