Who are the people in my neighborhood?

There was a recurring bit on Sesame Street where various people would sing the song "Who are the people in your neighborhood" and they would meet people and then guess their career and then sing a little bit about it. Plumbers, grocers, librarians and such. An example of such:

Which got me thinking, who/what career are the people in my neighborhood? I think you'll find the results surprising. All of these people are people I know by name and live within 4 houses of me.

The people in my 'hood are:
a MRI technologist
a dental hygenist
an optometrist
a food scientist
a mortician
a OB/GYN doctor
a pediatrician
a pulmonologist
an internvetional radiologist
a nurse anesthetist (two of them!)
a pharmacist (two of them!)
a physical therapist
a nuclear med technologist (and it's not me!)

It seems my neighborhood is entirely, or at least 95% in the medical/health field. Who would have guessed!

A picture of me with a stethoscope to prove I can fit into my 'hood. I guess a white lab coat or scrubs would have to be our hood's gang colors. HA!
