Today at my annual eye doctor appointment, an intake person asked for my middle name. She said she needed it because the office has two patients, both named Daniel Shaviro and both born on the same day in the same year, but only one of them has a middle name.
I suggested that perhaps they had entered me into the system twice, but she seemed skeptical about this. If I am wrong, I wish my mystery doppelganger would get in touch with me already.
