Dr. Tyler Sherman D.O.

It's hard to get use to hearing Dr. Sherman! It's good though! Here he is on one of his first days of work. This first month has been full of orientation, re-certifying classes, lectures, and a rotation of pediatrics. I dare say that he seems to have a lighter load than some of our other medical school friends. Tyler is a little frustrated with it starting out a little slow, but it won't be long when the work will come. He has Friday and Saturday night call every other weekend. He has to be at the hospital and cover for several Family docs. He is suppose to monitor any of their patients that come in. Well, he hasn't gotten any pages this whole month, which seems hard to believe. There were no interns last year, so they believe the other hospital staff have gotten out of the habit to contact the FP intern. So Tyler is trying to get his name out there so he feels a little more productive, especially when he hears that his ER colleges are swamped. (Now some people may like the "no calls/no work" attitude, but not Tyler. He is ready and willing to do his job.)

Southern Ohio Medical Center: Very good things are happening here.
That is their motto. Yes, good things are happening here.

So here is the story behind the sign:

Tyler has a tendency to forget his name badge and pager when he goes to work. Those are 2 very important MUST haves. He will probably hate that I'm telling you this, but I think it's so funny. He likes to blame the kids in misplacing them. But in reality they are often just left in the same spot he left them. This has been going on for the last 2 years of rotations. So the first night of call, I get a phone call about 20 minutes after he left. Sure enough he left his name badge on the counter and he was coming back to get it. The next night, 20 minutes later I get a phone call telling me he forgot his pager which was sitting on top of the fridge.

So as he walks out all frustrated and with me laughing, I decide the next day to make him a sign to help him remember the essentials. Of course I must remind him about the most important thing to do before leaving.... and that is kissing the wife!
