Who happens to be a Neurologist, btw. I know – he was my doctor after an injury many years ago.
St. Louis also boasts (or at least did at one time) a surgeon named Dr. Butcher. :eek:

Can we still call 'em bum-lookers?

What, it’s not bad enough being called “bad smelling” in English?

Didn’t someone once post a link for a doctor named Richard Titball?

Noone’s yet commented on the fact that this guy is certified by the International Society of Clinical Densitometry?
And what about [Dr. Thomas Glasscock](http://www.poncacitynews.com/NewsArchives/0899folder/lo082999.html#Reception%20for%20Retiring%20Physician,%20Dr.%20Thomas%20Glasscock,%20Set%20Today)? He should have been a proctologist!

No, no, no – a Urologist!

My wife’s old gynecologist was Dr. Kristina Box. She’s still listed in the Indianapolis phone directory, too…

One of the leading urologists in the field of male infertility is a guy named Eric Seaman.
(I found this out while Googling a rare kidney tumor.)

I was a patient transporter for a while, and I remember wheeling patients past a door plaque at the University Hospital which read “A. B. Crummy MD.”

His site is getting like hundreds of hits now that it is on the Straight Dope. I hope he doesn’t find us pretty much making fun of his name. Poor Guy.
I once had a Doctor named Bonebrake.

I only read the OP - but wouldn’t it be funny if this guy was a proctologist?

I’m sure glad that I’m not a proctologist with that name!

I could not find Dr. Box in the white or yellow pages, but I did find Kum Marks on page 601.

I’ll not be borrowing your telephone directory, then.
I blinked a couple of times when I clocked the midwife’s name-tag when Mrs M was in with our second: don’t think it mentioned the surname, but the midwife’s forename was “Cruella”. And yes, that was her real name.

Having worked in the same organisation as this poor chap, I can confirm that there is a Richard Titball eeking a living out there. What is even more amusing, though, is that his parents went the extra mile - his middle name is William.
Dick Willy Titball.

Whacking it to the phone book? Now _that’s_ a fetish.

Gotta be carefull though, although there is only one mention of Crabbs in the Indianapolis phone book, there are aparently 25 instances of Clapp.
This Anil Warrier guy sounds familiar though, wasn’t he a professional wrestler? Either that or a proctologist?
