Spent the morning making phone cals, and four out of the six people I talked to were named Dave.
After 24 years working in the retirement home, I've lost count of all the Marys, Gladyses, Helens, etc.
I often try to guess what a client's age will be based on first name when I get a new person. I can get it within a decade pretty often.
Then, based on age and/or insurance, what their problem will
really be. Or to guess partway through the first interview. I have never intaken a grateful dead fan who didn't have a HELL of a drug history. I also sometimes wonder if anyone in the area I work in in their 20s
isn't addicted to opiate pills.
