Funny story at ACEP conference
I'm here with 'Doctor Wife'.
We wander through the exhibits together. She had to go to the bathroom so I waited for her outside the exhibits. They had some photography set up and someone asked if I wanted a professional head shot. They would send it to me and said I could use it for LinkedIn or whatever.
I said sure. They had me sign a waiver that they could use my face. I figured, standard stuff, sure.
So I go to the photo area and they have cameras and a neutral background set up and everything. They had props and asked me if I usually wear a white coat at work. I said; "No, but my wife has suggested one with long sleeves and straps"
They start taking my picture from multiple angles as I realize they must think I'm a doc. I dont say anything because I like the shots they took and I want a few.
They take about 15 shots and tell me about how good the shots are. Great, I think, these will be good for my resume and dont look to techie.
As they are taking a picture someone drapes a stethoscope around my neck and they take four more before I realize what is going on.
I say; "that's good" realizing that I really dont want people to think I'm pretending to be a doc.
The pictures stop and someone says we just need to ask you a couple of questions.
Long story short, before I even know what is going on, I'm miked up in front of a green screen and they are asking me about diversity in medicine.
I'm answering the questions when my wife comes out of the bathroom.
From the outside she can see that green screen background is projecting me into a panel of doctors answering questions about emergency medicine.
After I get out she tells me; "I can't leave you alone for 5 minutes. Even the dog is better behaved "
