      But it's his knowledge, his willingness to listen to his patients, including his senior ones (like me), and his willingness to research anything he's not sure of, or to ask another doctor if that's what needs to be done.

      Do you consider some of that comes with the appearance of gray hair as the impression that you are now more experienced in the field?
      There is something to be said for experience. No offense, but if I am in a hospital, or a walk in clinic, and was asked if I wanted to be seen by the 28 yr old only out of med school now for a year, or a 48 yr old that theres a 30 minute wait for, depending on the level of pain, I might patiently wait for the person that I perceive as the more experienced in their field.
      Now is that fair? Maybe not fully, but experience cant be discarded either.
      There is absolutely fields where ageism is a poor thing to decide a decision on, but medical input, maybe not.

    • @mitchellscheer677
      @mitchellscheer677 Год назад +5

      While this is an excellent point, there very much is another end of that spectrum too. While all doctors are required to do continuing medical education, it's more likely that the younger doctors would have the most up to date medical knowledge. For example, a surgeon who recently completed their residency might know less invasive techniques that have been recently developed, which could lower your pain, recovery time, or even likelihood of fatality. An older surgeon on the other hand might not be capable of performing such a procedure since it's harder to keep up with new techniques when you're also busy practicing medicine and engaging in outside life.
      While I understand we all have our own biases, the best approach in my opinion would be to evaluate each doctor individually on how well they are treating you/ taking your concerns seriously. My best experiences are usually those where the first half hour is spent just discussing everything before beginning any sort of examination, and my outcomes from doctors where this has been the case have been phenomenal. @@Canadagraphs

This hurt so much because EVERYONE in my family has been pushing me to go to school and to get a job and when I FINALLY decided I wanted become a doctor, they shot me down.

At the time I was really poor and was struggling to eat, but I was happy I could apply for a job that not only was well paying but also I knew I would genuinely like since I absolutely love cleaning. So imagine my shock and disappointment when the only reason given to why I wasn't hired was because she felt that it would be a waste for my looks.

    I find another common addition to the entire “attractive must equal dumb” is that nurses only start in the field to marry a doctor! ESPECIALLY if you are considered “conventionally attractive!” This can also create another degree of detrimental separation within the healthcare team if one of the members within that team have this mentality. Nurses, respiratory therapists, social workers, etc are NOT necessarily less intelligent than the doctors on a team; they merely have a different role within that team whose goal should be to work together for the best possible outcome of the patient!!

I have gone to school for this too as well as have worked in the field for 7 years now. I dont have a doctorate but I do have a medical degree of my own.
      There's also the fact that people just with nursing is a step to being a doctor. While for many it could be, nursing is a valid degree and career choice in its own right. I am allowed to want to stop at the title nurse, however that looks to those with the degree. A CNA can strive for being a RN without ever considering becoming a Nurse Practioner, or even beyond that.

She felt insulted for herself, for her fellow students, and decided that she is gonna ace everything so that none can question her abilities. Savage woman.
    I didn't have that much strength as her but I still turned it out somehow :) Now I am a SysAdmin in IT so a male field as well. Previously I was IT Helpdesk Lead and had 8 guys, most of them younger, answer to me. At first people would come into the room and try to talk to the oldest guy in the room, or at least A GUY, and they would always direct those people to me or ask me what to do. Long story short when I was leaving that company I was nicknamed "IT Queen", almost everyone knew me but not our manager, and dozens of people predicted dark times.. xD

      When my mother was in high school she had a friend in her grade who's school counselor told her she couldn't be a nurse bccause "people like you(Hispanic) can't handle it" (This was 1950). So the young woman went to nursing school anyway, passed of course, took her diploma and went back to the school in full white uniform, and waved the document in front of the counselor, saying "See! See?"

      My HS counselor told me in 1966 that, as a girl, I had no business applying to university, since I could only get a job as a secretary. I became a National Merit Finalist, valedictorian at graduation, and received a Regents’ Scholarship to UCLA (as well as scholarship offers from two other universities). I guess I showed him.

      It feels sooooo good when you prove everyone wrong though.
      When I was in high school I decided to join the wrestling team. I wasn't fat, but not super muscular either. "Husky" is the right term I guess. My teammates underestimated me and berated me right from the start. What they didn't know is that my dad was a professional cage fighter, and that I probably knew as much or more about grappling and submission techniques. What I didn't know was the rules when it comes to wrestling. So when everyone saw my first sparring partner(who was a bit bigger and more muscular than me)on the ground in tears from an arm bar everyone gave me the respect I deserved...and coach wasn't too happy about his star wrestler getting wrecked, and explained to me that you couldn't do moves like that in that style of wrestling.
      I only lost two matches that season as a brand new wrestler.
      Be open to criticism, but never disrespect.

    “Why be a doctor when you could have been a model?”. This question seems to me like its more about the money than your capabilities. Like, why did you become a doctor when you are handsome enough to be a model, a job with much more income. Or a job with approximately the same income but much less responsibility. The question seems like its hiding the assumption that you became a doctor for the money. The answer is obviously because these are completely different jobs and you just love medicine, but, unfortunately , for a lot of people their choice of field is based on income and not on interest.

No offense to Dr. Mike, he definitely looks like he puts a lot of effort into his appearance and health, but the reality is probably more like any other artistic/expressive career... some luck is needed to make it big even when you look great. But I don't think people are thinking that far into it when they ask an offhanded question like that.
      Also from what I've heard, not all doctors make a whole lot of money! If a doctor decides to start their own practice they have to make sure their specialty isn't already flooded in that area and it's probably pretty expensive to run an office. Definitely needs passion for their specialty, or they'll sink. I don't wanna speculate too much on Dr. Mike's financial stuff but it seems like he's at least doing well, so sorry about my unrelated tangent lol.

    I am a board-certified anesthesiologist, 20+ years. You have NO idea how offensive it is to have to explain, sometimes multiple times a day, that I am a physician. That I have a degree from an accredited medical school. That the surgeon and I were classmates (well, that only happened twice). That, functionally, yes I'm a drug pusher but my role in any patient's care is infinitely more important.
    BTW, no one has ever mistaken me for a model. They've instead mistaken me for housekeeping, patient transport, customer service, administration--- occasionally, another will assume I'm a nurse. It is not my intention to minimize the various roles any person may assume on a hospital staff, but I had the same education you did.

I mean, your job is the only thing that makes surgery POSSIBLE. Without you, every operation would be an absurdly traumatic and horrifying experience that probably ends in death 3 out of 4 times from shock, rushed work causes issues, and accidents due to thrashing patients screaming till their vocal cords shred. Yeah the surgeon able to treat a blood vessel in the brain about to rupture may get all the glory, but you are the only reason it can even be tried in the first place.

    Ageism is a huge problem with a lot of industries too. As a guitar center employee, I constantly would have someone walk up to me upon entering the store, and immediately ask for someone more professional and experienced. I knew not to get offended, but when I would try to offer help or advice to an issue, many times the person would leave and just say they’ll wait for the older guy when he’s working. The issue was that i was early 20’s but have decent knowledge of analog and digital audio production, while most employees there just specified in guitars or drums. I’m very knowledgeable on those as well, but trying to explain that I was the audio guy, and that I had the most experience out of anyone in the store in that department, rarely gave anyone the chance to actually listen and consider that I wasn’t even trying to make a sale or push a credit card on them, but genuinely just try to help out however I can.

    Thank you for addressing the stereotypes associated with being a professional and also being physically attractive. I’ve found in a lot of my jobs that when I progress quickly, other people automatically assume that I must be sleeping with the boss. This type of thinking fuels the assumptions that 1) women can’t progress like men professionally unless they’re sleeping their way up the ladder and 2) that all of my hard work means nothing. So I appreciate you passionately addressing the fact that attractive people can be smart too and can succeed based on their brains, not just their looks.

    Sometimes, we forget that these "beautiful" people has their own struggles too. Everyone just assumes that good looking people don't even have to try and they just need to look pretty, as if that's all they got. I have a friend who experienced a similar struggle. She was the prettiest in our team but our co-workers often have these side comments whenever she achieved something remarkable and eventually got promotion. They always assume that she got it because she "slept her way through it to the bosses" to make it. Freaking disgusting and disrespectful at the same time, her looks that supposed to be a good thing became her biggest disadvantage in everything she does because it always voids her hardwork. Luckily, she transferred somewhere else with a better environment that actually recognizes her capabilities, and not just being looked at as "another pretty face".

He’s not offended because they are saying he’s so beautiful or handsome. He’s offended because they are implying that good looking people are dumb or should only have careers in modeling. If he’s smart and wants to be a doctor then he should be able to do that. I’m actually really proud of him for saying that. It proves that looks aren’t everything whether you look good or not.

This is because whether it is illegal or not, some employers will hire you based off the way you look and not your qualifications.

      @@HoHhoch Very true. A lot of times people dismiss younger ones even after showing capability, especially parents wih teens unfortunately. I do think it has a lot to do with pride and not considering children, teens or anyone younger an intelligent human just like them.

    Anesthesiologist goes on vacation with his wife. On the flight home he's sitting in coach and hears over the intercom "if there is an anesthesiologist on board, please come to first class cabin immediately." Guy shrugs it off. Five minutes later, another announcement: "we need an anesthesiologist to the first class cabin immediately." Guy isn't gonna go, but his wife is getting upset and tells him he has a duty to act.
    Anesthesiologist walks up to the first class cabin and finds a stewardess. He introduces himself and asks what the problem is. Stewardess points to a middle aged man reading a Dan Brown book. "See that guy?" she says.
    "Yes, he looks fine to me" responds the anesthesiologist.
    "Well," responds the stewardess, "you see, he's a surgeon, and he needs his overhead light adjusted."

      And he won’t do it because as a non-sterile surgical team member he won’t cross over the sterile field. He especially won’t grab the sterile light handle cover to do so, therefore I suppose that lady needs to call someone else. DC, always here to ruin a mildly comical but majorly contextually flawed joke.

    Sometimes I have to asks "Are you the doctor or the nurse". Sometimes it's not obvious. We deal a lot now with nurse practitioners. I'm always polite, no matter who I'm dealing with. I was raised to respect everyone. There have been a few doctors I haven't respected in my lifetime, but I'm still nice to them, I just find another doctor.
