I wonder what it is like if your name is the same as that of a famous celebrity. There must be lots of incidents where the name is used as a joke or a means of humiliation.
I have treated quite a few patients with such names. I have treated Michael Jackson, Tom Jones, Kevin Costner, Joan Collins, Dean Martin, Paul O’Grady. and a few others.
No, I don’t make fun of their names, and treat them like everyone else
I am just very curious how they find living with such famous names but I feel it is too rude to ask them (obviously I’d be making conscious mention of that fact which is unprofessional given I am their consultant).
I wonder how many more celebrity names I will come across.
