I used to work at a practice where receptionists had to answer the phone: “Department of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery. How may I direct your call?” Had a couple of people quit/get fired because they couldn’t learn to pronounce Otolaryngology.

Why, Monty, why? Since when did you take up reading the dictionary for fun and pleasure?
And besides, if you get over your fear, it is not really all that hard to pronounce!
