Hospital staff is being urged to stop addressing patients by their first names. The head of the British Medical Association said that too many nurses and doctors were making elderly patients feel uncomfortable by using first names, when many preferred to be addressed more formally. Dr Hamish Meldrum said: "I have noticed it especially in residential homes, where you will get a wee young girl addressing a man of 90 by his first name, not realizing that he is clearly uncomfortable with that."
"Mr. Smith, I've come to shave your willy." Please feel mercy!!! You can call me anything you want as long you are careful with those razors!
