Geena from Code Blog writes over on Nursing Voices:

Do you call the docs you work with by their first names?

Docs get to call us by our first names, but why is it not reciprocable? (Yes, I made that word up)

I’ve been at my current hospital for 7 years, but there are only a handful that I call by their first names. One or two have told me that I can; with the other few their first names just came out one day and since they didn’t seem offended, I just kept at it.
I always call them “Dr. SoAndSo” if we’re in earshot of patients or families.

There are some nurses I work with that call many doctors by their first names, but those are usually the nurses who have been there for decades working with these docs.

What do you do?
