Let's Just Tell Everyone The Story

One morning a pharmacy tech came to the desk looking for a nurse. She looked at the assignment board to check the name, accidentally read the doc's name (which was Diamond) and assumed it was the nurse's first name. In what I believed was a totally racist fashion, she asked me, the only black girl on the floor, if I was Diamond and was so-and-so my patient. I was immediately offended that of everyone present, she had to ask me first if I had a ghetto ass name like Diamond (no offense to any Diamonds out there). Apparently this has been found to be hilarious. And Diamond has now become Miss Diamond(s). And the stories made up about her have become more and more ridiculous and ghetto fabulous.
