It would be rather silly to use a brass nameplate on the inside wall,
since the diplomae and certificates displayed there identify the
occupant.

Let's hope the doc actually did her own homework and earned her
diplomae....

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
When I was in school, learning to repair Multi's, we were given "problems"
on the machines to diagnose and fix, and we were allowed to use any of the
facilities available in the classroom. One of the students used the phone,
to call Tech Support.

If it changes - the color is pleasing to the eye and common.
Bronze gets dark, brass turns green.
