I generally call my pdoc by Dr. so and so, when I use his name at all, but my mom calls him Doug which is really weird to me. However they were classmates in Med School so that it a bit of a different relationship. I guess I don't want to get to "friend"ly with him, since we aren't friends. I'm the patient and he's the doc.
