There’s a sweet security guard who works the night shift at the biomed library. (As I found out when I offered him a cookie one day, he’s “got the sugars”…must be from Pittsburgh.) Every time one of us enters or exits, he excitedly waves at us with a huge grin stretched from ear to ear, an whispers (so as not to disrupt others), “Okay, Doc, hi there, Doc.”
I recently found out that he calls us as such so that he can say, when we graduate. that he was the first one to call us “Doctor.”
