TEWKS Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 We had a medical call last week & the elderly woman that we were treating described her symptoms as "loosey bowels". This gets me thinking of all the names we used to put on the attendance sheet back in school when we had a substitute teacher. Lucy Bowels Dick Hertz Pat Magroin and so on, lets hear what ya have. You have to admit, it's funnier than guns. Pat Link to comment

Les is more Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 We actually had a pair of doctors in practice together in the '70s named Yellin and Halleran. My friend's OBGYN was Dr. Butcher. The Doc who did my appendectomy was named Tremblay. I pronounced it Tromblay as in French. "Oh no,"" I was told, "it's pronounced Trembly." Lovely name for a surgeon. Link to comment

TEWKS Posted April 11, 2008 Author Share Posted April 11, 2008 I know a person with the last name Butt & also one named Gass. Can you imagine if they got married, it would be the Butt Gass wedding. Seriously though, can someone tell me how we got our last names? I can imagine back to the day when they were handing out names & some make sense but, Lipshitz, what the heck were they doing to end up with that one. Pat Link to comment
