The Unknown Doctor

Dr. Dev (fictional name) asked his friend to drop him off at the hospital as his car was in service center for maintenance service.

His friend was driving and he was sitting in the front passenger seat.

When the car entered the hospital gate, the parking attendant stopped the car and demanded parking charges from Dr. Dev’s friend.

His friend looked with surprise and anger at the parking attendant and remarked while pointing towards Dr. Dev, “How dare you ask parking charges from us?” “Don't you know this is Dr. Dev, senior surgeon of this hospital?”

The parking attendant, who had not paid any attention towards the passenger side seat till now looked at Dr. Dev.

Dr. Dev calmly told him, “I am a faculty member in surgery department at this hospital.” “You can see my ID card if necessary.”

The parking attendant recognized Dr. Dev and said apologetically, “Sorry Sir, I did not notice you. Please go ahead.”

Turning towards his friend who was angry at the attendant for stopping and demanding parking charges from them, Dr. Dev said, “It is not the parking attendant's fault that he didn't recognize me. It is my fault that I am not so famous that everyone recognizes me.”

It is great ego buster that you are not recognized at your work place especially if you are in senior position and that too in front of others. Instead of getting angry or embarrassed just take it lightly.

After all it is rumored that even Napoleon Bonaparte was stopped once by one of his soldiers from entering his own camp due to lack of identification papers. And there are not many of us who can claim to be more famous than Napoleon.
