Today, despite me basically screaming my name into a patient's ear, he still thought my name was Judy.
All the other patients in my infusion room know me, and they were all there just giggling at me yelling into the man's ear, "MY NAME IS SUZI!". To which he replied, in a very soft tone, "Oh, Judy! That was my third wife's name".

Hi guys! I'm not new, but I'm introducing myself anyway!
I'm Suzi, and I'm a very busy infusion nurse working 2 jobs.
In my full-time job, I have about a 50-100 patients I treat per month.
That's a lot of people! The majority of them are senior citizens, and they can't always remember my name (I pride myself in being able to remember most of theirs!)
I've been called Judy or Stacy quite often!
Once I was called Jennifer, by a patient I've treated dozens of times lol
Today, I got Robin!

I never correct them, however. I know they know who I am; I'm the only pink & purple haired, tattooed nurse at the practice!
Some patients don't even bother anymore, and just call me Mermaid.
That's all, just wanted to share

Watch out Judge Judy or you might end up in one of our tanks
I'd make a great addition to any large enough tank! I don't think any of you can afford this mermaid

Hi Suzy

part of aging is accepting names or being addressed in any way .

I’ve been called almost anything imaginable but as long as it’s not late for dinner
And I just noticed I spelled the name wrong .
