The Worst Thing I&#39;ve Heard A Doctor Say

I asked a bunch of doctors what is the worst thing that they heard another doctor say I'll go first when I was a third-year medical student and I was on my surgical rotation I watch the surgeon make a mistake in the midst of a procedure and then say not that big of a deal the patient is a UPS worker might as well get disability I thought that was a heartless cruel statement and it was clear that this doctor was incredibly disconnected from the empathetic side of healthcare my name is Dr Anthony Yun and I'm a board certified plastic Sur surgeon I'm a YouTuber and a podcaster I was in my training and I was working with another plastic surgeon and we were performing liposuction on an africanamerican woman who was HIV positive now we had gotten about an hour or two into the operation and we really didn't create a whole lot of a change with her when all of a sudden he said that's it we're done and I looked at him and I looked at the patient I said you know we could do a bit more to get her a better result and he said you know what I gave her a discount and she's got HIV anyway so let's just quit hi I'm Dr Siobhan desau although online you may know me as violin MD I'm a rheumatologist so I specialize in joints and autoimmune diseases back when I was a resident I was studying for my licensing exam and one of my supervisors walked by and with a completely straight face said don't worry about studying so much that's why we have malpractice insurance and at the time I just laughed it off but after spending a couple of weeks working in his Clinic I couldn't help but one Wonder maybe he wasn't joking hi I'm Dr Rosio Salas whan and I'm an endocrinologist and obesity board certified physician the worst thing that I've heard another doctor say and this was to a patient in the laor in delivery room a woman who was in labor and this female doctor was doing a public exam a digital exam to see how much she was dilated the patient was screaming out of pain and this doctor told the patient well I'm sure when your husband was sticking it up inside of you you are not complaining of pain right so suck it up awful hi my name is Dr L Patel I'm a pediatric hospitalist if a child is hospitalized my people are on it I once took care of a patient whose family only wanted to be seen by white healthc Care Professionals the father straight up said we do not want to see any black Hispanic Asian or Indian doctors or nurses it became a thing it was handled but in the breakroom I overheard one doctor def and the family this doctor was like Hey if they want to only see white people like let them only see white people kind of went down in the break room there was some drama because that's not right what's up guys I'm Dr Antonio web a board certified Orthopedic spine surgeon also called the back doctor one of the worst things I've ever heard a doctor say to a patient is this is my first time doing this procedure wish me luck oh hell no hello my name is Austin Chang and I'm an Interventional gastroenterologist one of the of the worst things I've heard other doctors say is that other health professionals like nurses medical assistants technicians Etc are somehow less important than doctors and that couldn't be further from the truth we literally could not do our jobs as doctors without the help of everyone else and it takes everyone coming together to take care of the patients I can't tolerate that because that sort of disrespect is what's contributing to a lot of burnout and why people are leaving the field we just need to respect each other more and value what everyone brings to the table to get this to work hi I'm Dr Dr Dana and I'm a podiatrist which is a foot and ankle specialist and surgeon occasionally I've heard doctors speak negatively about their patient while they're in the operating room asleep and I just think this is wildly inappropriate the patient's in a vulnerable position and it's just not okay to talk this way it's certainly something that I never tolerate in my operating room my name is Jake Goodman and I'm in my last year of Psychiatry residency the worst thing I've ever heard a doctor say about a patient was it's all in his head it's not real in our head is a really complex thing called a brain it's an organ just like any other organ in your body and it can get sick just like your other organs so like if your pancreas gets sick you can get pancreatitis if your lungs get sick you can get empyema if your brain gets sick you can get depression or anxiety PTSD psychosis insomnia it's in our heads but that doesn't make it not real it's it's as real as any other medical condition hi I'm Dr Reena Malik urologist and pelvic surgeon and a urologist is a medical and surgical doctor of the genitor urinary tract and we urologists take care of a lot of things that includes cancer sexual health for both men and women bladder health and so much more the worst thing I've heard people say has come from trainees and they've said that they don't want to go into a specialty like mine that takes care of annoying women now this is a real problem because there's a ton of bias against women in medicine even as patients and because of it women have worse outcomes and get listened to less often and it's time to change that hi I'm Dr Brian boxer Walker I'm an opthalmologist AK ey surgeon there was an opthalmologist who made a comment about patients years ago that had a procedure called RK or radial carit toomy which causes the cornea often times to become unstable and need subsequent procedures over the years and he said RK is just the gift that keeps on giving and I just found that really repulsive and really offensive hi I'm Dr Jack turban and I'm a Child and Adolescent psychiatrist who takes care of transgender Youth and I'm author of the new book free to be understanding kids and gender identity the worst thing I've heard another doctor say is that they wouldn't acknowledge a Young Person's gender identity until their Depression was cured because they thought their trans identity was from depression there's no evidence that depression makes someone transgender and also in Psychiatry it's really important to understand the whole person and often someone's depression is because they're being mistreated because of their gender identity hey I'm Dr D basali a board certified dermatologist here in New York City the meanest thing another doctor said to me in medical school I had a doctor ask me after I told him I wanted to be a dermatologist they asked why I didn't want to become a real doctor I guess we'll never know I'm Dr Gary linkov I'm an ENT specialist with subsp specializations in facial Plastics and hair restoration surgery one of my biggest pet peeves is doctors adding procedures to their practice just to make more money they might not care at all about the actual proced procedure but they're just doing it for the bucks and that I think is the worst way to practice I think that everyone should be striving to do the best possible work that they can and elevating their game constantly and doing things because they're passionate and because they're looking to deliver the highest level of expertise possible hello my name is Mauricio but everybody calls me Dr Ma I'm triple board certified in internal emergency and obesity medicine I assisted a female specialist in the hospital when I was a resident she needed to talk to an Spanish speaking patient and I offer translation services basically and they discussed many things including past romantic relationships and I was there in the middle of the conversation translating hearing everything about the love life of the doctor and the patient and it was truly truly weird TMI TMI my friends my name is Ricky Brown and I a board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon I was in my clinic seeing a patient and I have a health and wellness aspect of my practice where I always preach health and wellness first lifestyle change weight loss meal plans that's what I preach for surgery should be your last resort in plastic surgery so I see a man in my clinic who's got the classic very round belly a lot of visceral bulging in his belly so I walk in to interview this guy because his consult was for lipos suction I asked the guy I understand why you're here we had a conversation about why liposuction wasn't proper for him that a meal plan change and lifestyle changes were going to be the way for him to go first but I asked him I said why who referred you and why and his answer was my internal medicine doctor referred me and she told me to come get lipo because I could afford it really and I was not happy about it and needless to say I told him you need a new internal medicine doctor as of today hi I'm Dr glocken flecken I am actually a board certified opthalmologist the worst thing another doctor has said is what why don't you look that up and present it tomorrow during rounds it was an attending who said it to me hey newbie watch out for the bed pan hey everyone my name is Dr sanay janaa and I'm a hematologist and medical oncologist otherwise known as a blood and cancer specialist the worst thing I ever heard another doctor say was basically when I was empathizing with a situation that was pretty stressful for one of our medical assistants the advice I received was Sanjay you can't show care or get concerned about how someone may feel about a circumstance in your clinic because if you give an inch they'll take a mile and they'll just take take take until you can't make anyone happy so try and remove yourself from hearing those things and and not make yourself vulnerable which I think is completely Incorrect and wrong and that a strong team gives strong care and that it's you know really the most important thing when delivering especially Cancer Care in a stressful Clinic do you get hiccups I know I do do you know why they happen click here to check it out and how to stop them as always stay happy and healthy hey hey hey hey hey hey
