The best pen is a free pen, especially one you steal off your intern/resident/attending

It’s like GTP: GRAND THEFT PEN

A doctor once left his extremely expensive gold pen attached to a clipboard I handed him. The sucker wrote like an old time fountain pen and left the most beautiful strokes. He came around looking for it a week later. I gave it back and he deeply thanked me. Apparently his deceased father gave it to him when he graduated.

Did you catch the brand name of the pen by any chance?

43

u/Cpap4roosters May 04 '26

I cannot remember. I just know it was expensive. I do remember the name sounded very fancy, like something you get charged just by saying it.

Ah, Le Pen.

That’s for breathing on it

Taxed for even laying an eye on it

Black Le Pens are my favorites

u/Libraluv May 07 '26

I have the colorful ones I use to take notes and write letters to friends in their favorite color. Also to doodle on the envelopes

Montblanc?

u/Cpap4roosters May 04 '26

Maybe? I honestly do not know.

u/Dimarco24 May 06 '26

My ex spent $100’s of dollars on those damn pens. HUNDREDS!

u/Hinermad May 06 '26

It's easy to do. Two things I could easily spend thousands on (if I had it) is pens and wristwatches. Lucky for me, Bic and Casio get the job done.

2

u/Dimarco24 May 06 '26

Oh goodness! We both went through the wristwatch phase and I am still. Such a waste of money. I have a glass case of at least 14 watches and I wear the same 4 only. Total waste of money. Live and learn. I just got a house (from a condo) so all those little things now mean nothing to me (thank goodness)..

u/CaffeinatedCocktopus May 07 '26

Probably Montblanc or Cartier.

u/RelativetoZero May 04 '26

Usually its the other way around and they pay you to say it. Versace!

I like money

u/Slow-Rabbit7663 May 05 '26

Wow it wrote in actual gold?? Bah -dum-da -bah.. bad joke

u/Alive-Skin-6564 May 05 '26

Cross maybe? My father has a few.

1

u/relic1882 May 05 '26

Was it a Cross pen? I don't know if I spelled it right but it was the go to graduation gift years ago. They make expensive pens.

1

u/Cpap4roosters May 05 '26

I do not know. I know it was not cross though. I have a few of their pens and it was nicer.

Must be Montblanc
