My wife, who teaches nursing, has long been dissatisfied with the typical test-questions which refer to patients as "Mr. X, age 72" or "Miss Z, age 27", etc.
She instead uses made-up names keyed to the medical problem involved. Thus, the patient suffering from effects of alcoholism is the noted British peer, Sir Osis. The female VD patient is Lucinda Streets. More technically-named patients are Al Kalosis and Acey Dosis.
She would appreciate further names, and asks me to solicit your ideas. (Of particular interest are names relating to the courses she is teaching this semester: (a) surgical nursing; and (b) development of young- to middle-aged adults.)
PS: uniformly, her students entirely fail to get the joke.
