Do you think it's at all possible that when you said, "No," they tuned you out immediately and it didn't register that you went on to say you're a doctor? You know, they'd already dismissed you as "not a nurse" without ever considering that you might be another medical professional? (Just as insulting, actually, but it makes a little more sense than for them to totally disregard a doctor....)

Or am I giving them too much credit?
