A medical doctor shared an interesting story on the social media platform, X, through his account, @TheCruiseDoc, recounting a unique encounter.
In his own words, he explained, “My secondary school classmate was the delivery man that brought pizza to my doorstep yesterday. I was thrilled to see him, and in that moment, I dropped my “Dr status.” We embraced, chatted, laughed, shared stories, I offered some financial assistance, and pledged to stay in touch. God has blessed me, and I seek to share those blessings with others 🙏🏾”
However, this tweet sparked controversy among netizens, with some feeling that the doctor was condescending in stating that he dropped his "doctor status" when reconnecting with his secondary school classmate.
Here are some reactions to the post:
@SkinwithLolami commented: This is reminiscent of the way many Nigerians express gratitude in church.
@hikmat_oteniya playfully asked: 😆 Did you pick him up?
@OwadeDerin inquired: 😭 Did you make it clear to him that you don't usually drop it, but he's an old friend?

@Chiora__ expressed: I swear, medical doctors give me a headache. You and your "Dr status" have issues 👍🏾
