You should stay away from doctors then. Probably for the best. |

As a medical provider, this is wildly inappropriate. Do coworkers talk about patients in private? Yes. Do we have a dark humor? Yes. But posting like they did is so disgusting. Mocking someone for bodily fluids is so ridiculous. 1. It's healthcare. No one should be that weirded out by bodily fluids. The things I've seen....
2. We are around patients at their most vulnerable times. It's shitty to mock them for it. I'm glad they are getting such negative backlash and have gotten fired. |
Thank you for this. I agree. |
You clearly don't work in gastroenterology or in an ER. |
| Actually, OB practices are the crassest. |
NP. If someone works in either of those, they should be posting tik toks making fun of their patients? |
I don't see why you're stuck on the Tik Tok angle here. They certainly like to tell funny stories to their friends. |
If you’re not talking about posting it online, then your comment to PP makes no sense… |
Some people in this thread don't understand crass humor is common in medicine. But there are a few people that seem to accept that, but are saying this case is much worse because it was shown on Tik Tok. I don't understand that when the comments aren't traceable to a patient. |
Lots of things that you would say in private are “much worse” if you decide to share them publicly online where anyone can see it, especially if you hold a position of trust. |
| Any stains left behind are 100% the result of excess lube used in exams or ultrasounds. I think that makes this whole thing particularly heinous, like the doctors/nurses caused this situation themselves and are now trying to shame people over it. |
Why, given that most of us know they say these things? |
Are you asking for someone to explain to you how society operates? |
I'm asking someone to provide a rational explanation for why the difference matters to them. |
+1000 Anyone who thinks this was okay is as immature as those who did it. |
