    My dad is a doctor. I grew up around him and his partners.

    They don’t. Outside of work, they don’t talk shop and want to do anything else. Usually golf.

    I won’t say never, but work is very stressful, so they do their best to leave it behind.

      Interesting. I’m going to need to hear from more people if I’m going to buy that’s standard, though.

      There’s established medical acronyms like “Funny Looking Kid” or “Get Out Of My ER”. The stress thing depends heavily on specialty once out of residency, and a stressful job can actually mean more story time once they’re done with a patient - just ask a paramedic.

        I also had a good friend who was a paramedic until recently, and those are some gossipy bitches, lol. That guy would never shut up about work
