I am ashamed to say that I’m one of those guys who throws out the MD card readily. I dunno, it’s just such an easy way to get people’s trust and it’s a conversation starter. But after reading everything you wrote (which was awesome), I’m rethinking my strategy. It’s gotten me into some pickles already. So…. I’m going to try your method.. I shall report back!

So much truth. Enjoyed the read. I will definitely use the “I work in a hospital, how about you? transition.
Fortunately, many folks have no idea that a radiologist is a doctor. Or if they do know, they feel like an old acquaintance, “don’t tell me you’re one of those useless doctors.”:)
thanks for the laughs

As a Momatrician, I like the overall theme. Except I don’t ever approach an intro of what I do with the mindset of “bragging”. I think the intent must be considered before assuming it’s all “a brag”. I LOVE being a pediatrician, been one for almost 30yrs now. Happy with my decision, and proud to defend us momadocs any day Just my two cents. ;) Have fun in Thailand, I just returned from a retreat there

I agree with your reasoning do not brag about your profession.
I can truly relate.
Thanks for the great post!
