Question for #doctorsandmedicalprofessionals of Mastodon (#medstodon ? #doctortoots ?)
As an MD in Sweden I introduce myself to patients as “Name Surname, Physician” & expect them to call me by first name. Colleagues & nurses use first name. In charts it’s usually Dr Surname. When abroad, I’m not sure how to introduce myself. In a professional setting, is Dr Surname the way to go? What about social gatherings? My Swedish instinct is to drop the “doctor” - what’s the custom where you are?
