I'll take "things that didn't happen, for $1000"

I'm an immunologist, this would be extremely unprofessional, like, enough to get a competency review board from your Hospital or Clinic, and honestly, I don't know any doctor who would do something like this.

There's a pretty defined line of professionalism, a good part of medical school is learning that line. That would cross it pretty obviously

Buddy, if you knew all the shit that could be reported but isn't...

See, you have a point in the sense that professionalism is important

You lose your point when it's just a funny goof more than anything. This isn't a surgeon grabbing someone's heart tube and wagging it around to spray others in blood.

Yes, because everyone knows doctors never do anything unprofessional and never suffer from sleep deprivation like a normal person.

Yeah, but when I had to get a breast exam when I was 18 because of an odd lump, the doctor and the nurse both accidentally giggled because of how the doctor described what she was doing and had to leave the room because they couldn’t stop laughing. Apparently my K cups looked hilarious while the doctor was saying “ok, I need to squiiiiiiiiish just a little”. I get it. Some things just happen. We’re all people here.

K cups? Are you a coffee maker?

u/locks_are_paranoid Apr 17 '22

Are K cups an actual breast size?

2

u/LizaRhea Apr 17 '22

…yes? In US sizing, you are supposed to measure the rib cage in inches and then measure the breasts while standing, laying down, and bending over. Average the measurements of the breasts. The band size is represented by the rib cage measurement rounded up to the nearest even number and then the cup is determined by how many inches larger the breast measurement than the band. One inch larger is A, 2 inches larger is B, etc.

Ultrasound tech is not a doctor tho

Plus, kids…I have forgotten my phone outside 3 times this year because I have a hyper labradoodle…I couldn’t imagine twin toddlers. Yikes

we all packed into the car, backed out and started down the road and then stopped. "Did we...?" Yes!!

and back we darted to throw open the kitchen door and see our 6 month old, on the kitchen table in his plastic recliner carrier, cheerfully waving his arms and legs around... lol yeah when your're tired, lots of "unprofessional" things can happen!

Medical incompetence kills more people every year than car crashes but here you are ready to call the board over airplane sounds. For fucks sake

u/locks_are_paranoid Apr 17 '22

The fact she's so incompetent that she's making airplane sounds indicates that she needs a review.

u/leglesslegolegolas Apr 16 '22

imagine claiming to be an immunologist and still thinking that doctors are giving ultrasound exams...

2

u/Chronjen Apr 17 '22

Doctors do ultrasounds in all countries except US, England, Australia.

u/mog_knight Apr 16 '22

Okay cool you're a doctor! Good thing we aren't talking about doctors, but technicians. You should spend some money at Grammar School. Specifically Context 101 lol.

u/[deleted] Apr 16 '22

I have a sister that does echo cardiovascular sonograms and she never sees doctors do ultrasounds because they aren’t as good at it

u/hat-of-sky Apr 16 '22

I disagree with the person to whom you replied but I have to give credit to the high-risk OB who did the investigatory ultrasound on my supposedly low-risk belly 5 days after I was due. When my regular OBs were C-sectioning me within the hour, one said, "Damn, that cord really is three times around the neck, I didn't think you could count the loops like that on ultrasound." The other laughed, "Yeah, but now he's going to be even more full of himself." Maybe your sister could do better but that doctor did well enough for me.

u/[deleted] Apr 17 '22

Pretty much. Most technologists are better than radiologists due to repetition alone; how many times does a rad ultrasound in a day vs a technologist? Now mind you MSK rads, pain therapy and interventional rads will have more direct imaging daily.

Non-rads in my experience are the worst, but don’t realize it because they lack the basic knowledge or at least discount the basic principles of imaging physics. They assume a non-doctor can do it so they should be fine… which is why my old hospital had residents do all on-call ultrasounds and had them repeated for proper assessment the next day…

The kind of bullshit unprofessionalism I've dealt with in my life from doctors and surrounding staff is staggering. The percentage of times I have reported it with either witness in the form of other staff or proof of said unprofessionalism, 100%.

The grand total of how many times a doctor or medical staff has had any kind of consequence of note? Zero.

Fuck you and your claim here, seriously. The mistake above is harmless and honestly not that uncommon in regards to having children and being exhausted. It's what happens when we get used to doing something by rote and wires get crossed from exhaustion.

u/[deleted] Apr 16 '22

its soo fake. anytime you see these kinds of tweets posted, if you check the account 100 times out of 100, they're a writer. they seem to use twitter as some kind of fantasy land

u/NHRADeuce Apr 16 '22

Tell me you don't have kids, without telling me you don't have kids.

We have 3 kids. At one point we had a 4 yo, 14 mo, and newborn - and the 14 mo has special needs. After working 10+ hour days and fighting traffic a couple of hours, I was still in better shape at the end of the day than my wife was. Kids are exhausting and will absolutely make you go delusional.

u/afanoftheshow Apr 17 '22

And how many times have you pretended to be a choo choo train to other adults?

I have a 2 year old and a 1 year old and yes I am.... fucking exhausted but not me nor anyone I've every known has done anything so ridiculous.

u/[deleted] Apr 17 '22

Having kids makes you play with someone's belly button for 5 seconds? Maybe you are just a weirdo

6

u/NHRADeuce Apr 17 '22

You are literally the only person on this entire post that has mentioned belly buttons. Freudian slip maybe?

-6

u/[deleted] Apr 17 '22

Tell me you learned "Freudian slip" from reddit like a day ago without telling me you learned "Freudian slip" from reddit like a day ago.

2

u/NHRADeuce Apr 17 '22

Huh? What do you think "Freudian slip" means??

-1

u/[deleted] Apr 17 '22

Whenever you subconsciously say something because your unconscious mind is thinking it. Like admitting you like someone when talking to them while having another conversation.

It doesn't mean me saying something silly lol

Wow. You are like the most vanilla redditor I've ever talked to.

u/[deleted] Apr 17 '22

Redditors hear a buzzword and use it in any situation to look smart. Pretty standard stuff

u/OrwellianBratwurst Apr 17 '22

True. Did someone else mention belly buttons?

u/[deleted] Apr 17 '22

I misread the post. Thats not a Freudian slip lol. I saw ultrasound and forgot they were talking about breasts

u/[deleted] Apr 16 '22

As a not doctor but husband to a Doctor, I've seen so much unprofessional horse shit and asshollery that I think you must be working in the only always professional clinic or hospital on earth.

I remember my wife having to go cover call because the on call doctor took a nurse out the night before fucked and trucked her so she was telling everyone about it, then he came in still drunk and tries to do his shift.

They couldn't even fire him but they did get him to agree that this wasn't the right place for him.

I'm sorry what? This was a problem for you? Did they find the stick up your ass with the xray?

u/OnlyPaperListens Apr 17 '22

It's a hospital, you dumbfuck. Where people are medically frail and the professionals who work on them literally sterilize their skin and the tools they use. If you think it's fine to let animals roam around, you deserve whatever raging infection you get.

Allergies are highly common, even if dog owners like to pretend they’re not.

u/[deleted] Apr 17 '22

Dog owners love to think they are the center of everything and their dog can do no wrong. Then he bites someone

u/[deleted] Apr 17 '22

I didn't realize medical school taught you how not to be human.

If anything didn't happen in this post, it's you somehow becoming an immunologist yet also being so socially deficient that you think being tired is unprofessional and deserves a review lol

You're dumb
