Normally I don't care if someone gets confused over my name. It's very Chinese and I don't look like I fit the name so I can understand. I also don't really run into issues with it but dear God, medical people, please get your heads our of your rectums. I was halfway through the wrong imaging procedure because they screwed up the patients assuming there was no way the patient name on their charts could look like me. Good thing I caught it.

I'm going to have to be more careful from now on. At least it wasn't something where I got a wrong medication or surgery meant for someone else.

As soon-to-be one of the "medical people," I am sorry to hear that

But yes, being careful is the key for everyone...that really makes things safer, especially since in hospital, people are either extremely busy and make careless mistakes, or they are just dumb.

Mistakes happen. Telling me they didn't verify based on my race and name scares me. Guy told me point blank "You're not Chinese so I didn't think you were [this patient]." Good grief. Oh well, at least it wasn't a biopsy or colonoscopy.

As I said, people are either busy or they are just dumb

That wouldn't happen here. 50% of hospital medical staff are guess what, Asian! Surprise...
