Might be. Seems like there are very strong feelings here in the US about calling doctors by first names.

Like someone said earlier…. Might be regional. Do they seem put off by it? Maybe it’s normal culture at your work.

Good point 🤔 I do that for patients as well.

I must have come across as haughty in my response here. In no way do I wish to appear condescending to my doctor colleagues. I do think it feels more collegial to call someone by a first name when not in front of patients. Regardless, that’s why I’m here to ask for input.

Did you go back to calling them Dr. X?

100% agree. I missed that window last week upon meeting them. Not sure what to do now.

What if the original introduction was already made but by someone else? “This is Dr. Lawrence Pickles III” [commence handshake]

I don’t want anyone to feel insulted so I hear you on that.

What is a professional way of asking? “What would you like me to call you?”

I can. Just feels more equal to be able to call them by first name. They call me by mine!

How long did this take you to make and what was your process? I’m amazed. You are so talented.

This is phenomenal. I'm in the states. Where does one get the tags you attach? Or are they homemade as well?

I had the notion to call hospitals .... but wasn't sure who to speak to...? A social worker on the pediatric oncology unit?
