Terrible

One of the few things I remember about working in the emergency room at the VA Hospital in March is the new nickname I got there.

The ER nurses and nursing students used to sit together in their break and start making fun of doctors and we kinda got used to it.

We were 3 doctors in the ER one day, my friend Dan and I and whoever the boss would be during the shift.

One day the three of us were sitting at the doctors' desk waiting for someone to come in. Dan went to get a cup of coffee and on his way he could hear the nurses talking to each other. He came back laughing.

Dan, "Dude, the nurses had a new name for you."
Fares, "What new name?"
Dan, "OK don't get mad, but it's the name of a TV character"
Fares, "What is it?"
Dan, "Uncle Fester" and he burst laughing

I didn't know who Uncle Fester was, so I had to google it. The least thing I could say is that I wasn't happy.

I'm glad I worked there for only one month.

Meet Uncle Fester....

i would not be happy either if i was called after Uncle Fester!! i have a feeling they picked this character just because your name is Fares and it is close somehow to Fester..not because of your looks, i am pretty sure.

Considering the medical implications of the word "Fester", I hope the patients didn't hear them calling you that! I don't think they'd want to be treated by a doctor that the nurses nicknamed "Fester".

If you've watched "Patch Adams", you can learn how to win these nurses as your friends.
The nurses in "Patch Adams" were just mean and treated Patch in an awful way, but with time, with humour and caring for patients, he succeeded in winning the nurses to his side.
You can even try to give them a copy of "Patch Adams" to watch :)
try it.. it might succeed.

sary i'm actually on good terms with nurses more than most other docs , even this group of nurses were OK but they liked to make fun of everyone to show that they are stronger as a group than doctors!

I watched patch adams long time ago i'll watch again, some of the crap they have in these movies is real but a lot is an oversimplification or an exaggertion about what happens in real.
