I had a c-section. There was a male OB nurse. I am a single mom, multiple spine fusions in the lumbar area. I don't remember his name, but the anesthesiologist hadn't received all the spine records I had transferred. He was only going to try my spinal one more time and if it didn't work, switch to general. That male nurse stepped in to act as my partner, wrapped his arms around me and got me into a better position. Because of him, I was awake to hear and see my premie during the procedure. He put me so at ease. I thank my lucky stars for him.
My mom has a similar story with me. I was a premature baby and I’m named after the doctor who took care of my mom. Dr.Scott Edit: more info/more correct info now that I spoke to my mother recently about this topic. Since we are Japanese, when they asked what my middle name is gonna be, they had no idea what to name me let alone what a middle name is. So they looked at the doctor whose names was Scott. Just thought I should throw that in there too
This just happened to me last year but no male nurse and they let me try to stay awake but once the pain got to intense from the C-section they put me under. I woke up with no baby and it was the worst birth I ever had (#3). I got to see him the next day in NICU but I missed out on so much, his first breath, skin to skin ect ... I'm so happy your story turned out good!!
I enjoy flirting with everyone, man or woman. I'm straight. Actually, I enjoy flirting with women I know MORE than men, because they're safe. Safe is fun.
I'm just reading the comments and smiling. It's just nice to see people recognizing that we as guys can be nurturing and caring. Being able to help people....its the best feeling in the world.
@@WildeAbsinthe I've worked with many female nurses and I'm sorry for your experiences, but I just want to say i've worked with some truly outstanding and incredible female nurses who have gone above and beyond for their patients and have impeccable skills (ie injection technique). Not underplaying your experience at all, but law of averages means some people will have experiences such as yours and the reverse.
@@cartergomez5390…I’ve always preferred male doctors and nurses too…. But honestly I have a female doctor currently because she was the only available one at the VA. Have been with her for about 4 years and she has been great.
This guy is the complete opposite of nurturing and caring. You can tel by how he says "SHE slammed her fingers in the door". This diva is in it for the money and taking to colleagues all day long guaranteed. They are all the same.
I like having male staff around at my nursing home facility because patients tend to be a little more compliant and less likely to have behaviors when they are around. I'm teeny tiny, and patients sometimes don't take me seriously or try to get handsy with me, so having male staff around makes me feel safer
I agree. I’m a female nurse in a nursing home and most of our residents seem to respond better to male nurses - especially male residents. I think there’s something about having a male in a female-dominated environment 😅
That's pretty much what I would guess. On a related note, I was on a flight last year where all of the flight attendants were male - big brawny guys - and there was NO trouble on that flight. Coincidence? Maybe...
@@UrsantaHoHoHo Imagine you think that men can only me nurturing when they are gay. How sick and messed up is your society, please?? Do some introspection. Do learn about sexism, it's very helpful.
My mom was hospitalized a lot throughout the duration of her chemotherapy (she made a full recovery after one year of hell), and the hospital unit she had to stay in had two incredible male nurses that I'll always remember - the energy they were radiating was just different. They in particular and one of the female nurses (who's one of my best friends today) went above and beyond to cheer my mom up and they called me EVERY DAY, either right in the morning or late at night wherever they were on duty, to give me updates on my mom's situation after I woke up and right before I went to bed. And this attitude contributes more to recovery that you might think! I made little "snack gift baskets" for the nurses in both units with cookies, several flavors of instant coffee, protein and granola bars and they were so incredibly grateful, it was EVERYTHING. Bless ALL the nurses out there.
I wish I could pay back my nurses there was one who treated me differently and she didn't know i went through chemo but never seen her no more she was a traveling nurse.
When I almost died and was in icu male nurses were the people that kept me intact. I had a couple female nurses but the males were above and beyond the people that pulled me through. I was in an abusive relationship and be even sat with me and asked if there was anyone else I could go home with and flat out told me they didn’t trust that guy and they were right. Forever thankful and grateful to the male nurses they saved my life
When I was in the ER dealing with an aneurysm I wasn’t fully told what kind. My male nurse printed out an image and drew on it to explain to me in laments terms and brought me some ginger ale while he did so. He allowed me to ask as many questions as I had even tho my speech wasn’t great. His name is Justin I’m so grateful to him for that ❤🙏🏾
Wow, what a comfort while going through such a scary event. I love when healthcare workers answer my questions. It makes me feel a bit more confident and comfortable.
I Wish I met someone like that when I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. I had no idea what it is and was scared to Google it, because you know you'll find just the nightmarish stories... I had no idea until my appointment with MS specialist - three months after my hospital stay.
I once slammed my thumb in the sliding car door. I opened the door and rushed to my mom. She took me inside and I fainted in the bathroom. When I came to, I had a tiny, TINY scar on my knuckle. My thumb still functions perfectly and was never broken. I guess what saved it was the fact that I slammed it on my knuckle. Not sure though. That happened years ago.
Once slammed my thumb in the car door & that pain is the type of pain that makes you hysterical. You don’t know what to do with yourself. I remember I just ran inside & fell to my knees & cried. Next day? Nothing. No soreness or bruising. Nothing.
Recently in ICU for esophageal varices, I was on a respirator for five days. I woke up and my male nurse Johnathan was an absolute angel. He woke me up so gently, helped my brush my teeth and even did my hair for me. I felt so ugly and nasty. He had me sit in the chair, get some sun and eat my breakfast. He was so sweet and treated me like I was his child. I’ll never forget him. All my nurses were incredible. I also had another male nurse and every time I woke up, he would say “hi, friend” with the sweetest smile. Those got me there those horrible days.
2 types of male nurses- super smart, very helpful, organized and great team leaders or the dreaded I secretly wish I was a doctor and nurse work is beneath me, always chatting up the doctors like they’re all just the boys hanging out- and they are SUPER LAZY
I survived double pneumonia and sepsis… on my last night in the hospital I had a male nurse and he is one of my all time favorites. He plugged my phone in for me while I was asleep. He never stopped checking in on people, would answer quickly. Also would find a way to check on you without waking you. I’m a light sleeper, so I knew almost every time but I can promise you that if you were not a light sleeper you would have never noticed him.
Our nephew started in transport and I was a senior registrar in the ER. He was in nursing school. I moved to ATO when he became a very good nurse. I got sick (MS) and he got me the very best care. I gradually stopped working (doing really well) and he is now the Chief of Nursing!!! I still call him The Skirt!!
I’ve unfortunately been in the hospital a lot this past year with sepsis and other things and I have to say the nurses are incredible and in particular the male nurses are off the charts fantastic!
Me always wondering if the only reason we say that, is because male nurses are better trained at emotion skills and care-taking than most men and the bar is on the floor .... just like the pattern in men in childcare work or "awesome dads helping out at home (no, you jerks, he's just being a husband and parent, damn it!)" (=__=)
@@KxNOxUTAyep!! You hit the nail on the head. It’s not usually expected of them so when they actually do it like a woman does they get all kinds of praise lmaoo wild
@@emsa5034 I'm curious...do you feel it's equally offensive/ridiculous if a women is praised for succeeding in a male dominated field? Not trying to start a fight, but I don't get the negative outlook on this. Respect and praise is how you get people to change, not scorn and ridicule. If anything, we should strive to praise everyone, who does a good job at whatever they're doing - not treat compliments as some kind of scarce resource, that needs to be fought over, don't you think?
@@KxNOxUTAalmost certain this is it. Expectations are low. Make nurses would get praised more for the same work, it’s just expected that a woman does it
My wife's main nurse after he c section was male. The guy was fantastic. Always gentle and calm when he'd enter the room, clearly state what she would need to work on for recovery and got me in on reinforcing it with her, and he was incredibly respectful of our space.
I have Sickle Cell & I’m a really hard stick. Whenever I had to go to the ER for pain treatment & the nurses were having difficulty getting an IV they would call someone from the IV team. A male nurse named Nick would come in with his ultrasound machine & get an IV in. Eventually it got to the point where the nurses wouldn’t even try & would immediately call Nick. He was really funny & always tried to cheer me up. Every time he came to see me he would say “Jazz, where’s my burgers?” because he knew that I loved to cook. I wonder where he is now & how he’s doing. I hope he’s doing well!
Jasmine I hope the universe sends nurse Nick to this video, and he sees your comment. Best wishes to you. I know what it's like to have to go to ER for pain treatment.
Im chronically ill and have spent a lot of time around medical staff. I have noticed i get treated significantly better by male nurses and technicians, but worse by male doctors
Recently stayed in the hospital a week after I was told my kidney pain was anxiey and sent away until I fell into sepsis from ecoli. My night shift male nurse is the only reason I could make it through. I'm an insomniac. He was such a delight. Day shift was awful late, early morning shift was fun and attentive.
Edit: I'm sorry, the sleep was all I could think about. So sorry how you got dismissed. That's horrible!☹️ They should pay your bill!!! Uhg, I could not sleep in the hospital when I was there for sepsis. The only day I slept was after the surgery because of the drugs. I was so weak and pathetic, but somehow just couldn't sleep on that mattress. That's just ridiculous! They were good to me though ❤️
My grandfather used to teach my siblings and I etiquette at a very young age. He told us a story similar to that where he slammed a girl's hand in the door on accident on their first date. He learned from then on always to say "hands and feet" with with a quick visual check as he shut the door. I never thought etiquette training would be such a sweet memory for me.
I’m 5’0 & 118 pounds and when I was nursing, if there was a large heavy patient that needed to be transferred they would come find me. I was always tiny but boy was I strong! 💪🏻 and everyone knew it! My career was ended by a severe debilitating injury that left me with permanent restrictions and limitations. Breaks my heart to loose that strength and ability to help others the way I did. It was a rewarding 15 years 💔
That's the thing though, they take advantage of the staff willing to push themselves like you until you are left in ruin from injury and they are nowhere to help. They have the technology now to where you physically don't need to do any real lifting of the patient and have for several decades. Instead of buying the proper transport devices they run their staff into the ground. So many places they expected my mother to end up both harming herself and the patient Instead of someone getting, or grabbing for her one of said transport devices. Patients that coudlnt stand on their own were expected to somehow "lift themselves" by holding the railing to the bed despite my mother explaining that wasn't possible. Eventually higher staff would finally cave and grab them for her once she'd tell them okay then I want you to show me how you do it, and they couldn't because they were talking out their behinds and had never done it without a lift. I'm so sorry that was done to you❤ I hope you are in better health now and have a handle on your treatment❤ Thank you for all the love and care you poured into the lives of the patients you cared for❤
I had a craniotomy and my nurse was a male. He paid more attention to me than the female nurses. He gave me a sponge bath. But what I loved so much about him is that when I woke up from my sleep, he was standing there watching me. I got moved from the Intensive care unit to another floor and he still came to visit me to see how I was doing. ❤️ 💕 💗
Omg my hospital has the best male nurses they are the sweetest most attentive nurses. I'm a chronic illness patient so they see me quite a bit. I love seeing them and feel more at ease when they're there. I made a lifelong friend when I was in the emergency room alone because my ex was the reason I was there. I was losing our child and was in a panic my nurse sat with me held my hand talked to me sang, wiped my tears, held my hair when I was vomiting, reassuring me that I wasn't the problem etc. We are still friends today I was his wife's bridesmaid!
I’m a nurse who is female but most of the male nurses I talk to actually hate this cliche that they should be the ones who have to come lift the heavy patients, they have spines to take care of too.
Current student nurse, worked as a CNA for a couple of months. I agree, I don’t mind helping out my co workers but when they make me do their job it pisses me off. I get I’m a guy but do your job
@@descai10 Humans are humans. We are not wild animals with bones and a body made of steel. One wrong thing and no stretching over time, cause people work these jobs for long periods of time, your body just gives up
@@Fightanddie Yes, but for women the problem will happen even faster and with less weight. What we really need is ubiquitous tools to avoid anyone having to do it.
I was severely dehydrated and the female nurses kept messing up putting in my IV making me faint. They were at their wits end getting me ready to do an ultrasound-guided IV catheter placement, which was terrifying me and making me extremely anxious, when a male nurse from the ER down stairs happened to walk by, saw a bunch of people and eqipment with just me, poked his head in and was like, "whats all this now?" They explained what happened and he walked over, took my right arm, tapped the middle of my lower arm and said he'd be able to do it with a butterfly IV for children EASY. No fuss! Id just have to wait longer for the fluids to be done than normal. Instant relief for me! Bless male nurses! ❤
They struggle to find a vein every time I go for treatment every couple of weeks, and now the nurses are literally just saying “omg I’m so sorry” and whatever, every time they miss. It makes me feel really bad. They have suggested me to get the permanent thingy in the chest, but I’m absolutely terrified of it 😣
Also, it's hard when veins (like mine) will roll. They will close valves and not open again. They won't let the nurses thread the I've needle either. The only reason I don't have a pick line or port is because I would, most likely, not survive an infection. So I get my nutrition and fluids through my gj feeding tube, which is a hole that goes straight to my stomach, and part of it goes into my juendum (or however you spell it) I was at a hospital where they have a lot training docs and nurses, and I didn't care if I was their their lil pin cushion (within reason) 😂 but at least the charge nurse was always able to get it 😂
@@miegravgaardxoxoI’ve had nurses struggle to hit my veins too and so now I always let them know ahead of getting poked. Many times they’ve been able to switch to a smaller needle to make it easier.

I've been in and out of hospitals since I was 2. One of the best nurses I had was when I got chemotherapy at 8 yrs old for a rare kidney disease; his name was Levi and he let me color in his tattoos with markers. He tried to keep his arm out taking a shower so it didn't wash away. Brought me gifts and made sure I was comfortable. I almost died for the 6th time but thanks to Levi and Dr. Cabon I somehow lived. Let's give thanks to the awesome male nurses who help save lives too
My IUD fell out, the on call nurse told me to go to the ER to make sure I didn't have any injuries. All three of my nurses were good looking men. And everyone they changed nurses I had to explain why I came into the ER. My mom took me and I asked her, "do they only employ hot nurses here?"
On a related note, I had to go to the ER in 2022 with a possible clot in my leg. (Spoiler: the ultrasound showed it wasn't. It was a badly pulled muscle.) The ER doctors were actually young, good looking men. I was looking around for the TV camera...
You had three nurses come in to check on an IUD that fell out??? Honey, they went in to have a look. Anytime I’ve been to the ER broken bones, gallbladder, twisted hernia, injured kids I only saw one nurse and a doctor and was rushed out. You were being checked out
Nurses are angels, both male and female... I had a male nurse transporting me from the E.R. to the upper floors for admission. Unfortunately I have had such extreme trauma from certain medical events in my life, that the male being the one moving me from one bed to the other actually had me in full-blown shaking anxiety and in quiet tears... But I didn't say anything. The wonderful female nurse, that was accompanying us - she was an angel... Once we got into my room, she noticed my shaking, because I heard her say to the male nurse - "I've got it from here", the male nurse said, "You sure?" as I'm sure he is usually the one to physically help transfer people into the new bed - and I didn't see her but I could hear in her voice a sort-of head nod like, "I'm not going to say outloud why, but you know why..." Another female nurse stepped in and helped her move me into the other bed. I had in fact had an "accident" out of fear and anxiety (like a scared puppy)... Both of these lovely women helped me feel so comfortable, even talking about how it happens to them all the time because "after kids, oh its no big deal!". I haven't even had kids, at my age I probably never will... But they both made me feel so cared for with such compassion, even within such a traumatic reliving of an event. They'll never know what they meant to me in that moment. I don't even have any family, no one came to visit me except for my boyfriend when he could, but he works 12 hours a day. The nurses at that hospital all kept me company, and in return I have always treated them with as much cooperation, kindness, respect, and appreciation they deserve 🥺🙏 We always hear horror stories, but I wanted to share this beautifully wonderful experience of mine with nurses 💙
This story was beautiful, and I hope you're doing better, now. Also, I've had a couple kids. Every sneeze is a risk 😅 The best nurses are the most compassionate about things like that ❤
I loved working with male nurses. Every once in a while, you get that patient that has that crazy wild look, and I would ask one of the male nurses to come with me when I didn’t feel safe and every time I asked, they would always come with me. I absolutely adored the male nurses I’ve worked with over the years.
i had a male nurse back in 2023 when i was in the hospital after having major abdominal surgery. he was super sweet and funny too. one day he was making his rounds and i told him i was in pain. i couldn’t have any tylenol or tramodol since it was too early to take one of them again and the only thing left was dilaudid. i was a bit nervous/unsure about taking a narcotic pain medication since i didn’t wanna get addicted to it. he was so kind and understanding about it and reassured me that most of the time when patients take narcotic pain meds only as prescribed they usually won’t get addicted to it. after hearing that i agreed to take it and he was so reassuring and said “i think you made the right choice”.
If you were taking Tramadol, you were already on a narcotic. That is an opioid. Sorry they didn’t inform you well about the meds you were on until after you raised a concern- but just for your own knowledge, Tramadol is a narcotic painkiller.
This is the first time I've heard someone speak on their experience as a hospital transporter on Doctor Mike's channel! I currently do transport and it's sad how often the position is overlooked by some nurses😭
You are noticed I promise you, I have great relationships with a lot of them, they always come in with a smile. Particularly those of you who are really good at your job and can anticipate the needs of the patient (assist them walking, get covers, pillows) and can observe how busy (nurses) we are and save us a step or two (release form printed, monitor box retrieved). I've had transporters give me attitude for waiting (they are usually new on the job) while the experienced ones just save time by preparing everything instead of just waiting for the nurse to do everything.
When I had major surgery last yr I had two of the most amazing male nurses care for me that night. The kindness, compassion and ability to not judge me to my face was wonderful. They ensured I got my meds when the pain got too much, chatted with me when I did my walks, and even made sure to bring me hot cocoa. I might not remember their names, but I will never forget how amazing they were.
My favorite nurse when I was inpatient was the male nurse in our unit named Ivan! I’ll never forget him but he went above and beyond and made that stay good. If I missed breakfast he’d save my tray before they took the cart away so I could eat when I got up. He also let me have a paper airplane race in the halls(which another nurse later yelled at me for😅)
I have several male nurses on my unit. I'm the clerk/sometimes a CNA. I have one malr nurse who i always ask to move the copy paper to the conference room for me (because they always deliver all of them to the nurses station). I love my male nurses. Oh and they are all straight dudes
I have heard from multiple accounts from my female friends that they always request a male nurse/doctor when it comes time for physicals and other sensitive procedures because the male staff was always more courteous and gentle than the female staff was. They had a female doctor doing a physical, and when they told her she was causing them pain, she brushed them off and told them everything was fine before continuing. The next time they asked for a male doctor, and the moment they said they were uncomfortable he pulled back and let them recover before continuing much more gently.
Hector was my nurse when I had a hysterectomy at 34. He was my sisters nurse shortly after. I was at that hospital a couple years ago to get some lab work (I’m 58 now) and I saw Hector & spoke with him. He remembered me and my sister. Great nurse. Great person.
I had a male nurse for the delivery of my youngest son. My husband asked me if I was ok with him being my nurse. I said sure I am fine with it. I can only say thank goodness we had him in that room. My delivery was a bit scary and urgent. He kept his cool and was able to handle flipping me back and forth for the whole time trying to get my extra large child out. He was the best and I thanked him so many times. ❤
I’ve never had a negative interaction with a male nurse. They have always been kind, caring, compassionate, understanding and the key..EMPATHETIC! I’ve only had a handful of males in my last 12 years of fighting for my life but I’ll take a male nurse on my team any day!!
I had this awesome tech at one of the hospitals locally and he was the sweetest and kindest guy. 25 with a ❤ of gold and the best smile and held my hand and helped me not pass out while waiting for blood to come out of somewhere. I was super dehydrated and I can only use my right arm and I need those tiny butterfly needles and even then I'm lucky if anything comes out or stays in. It's awful. Kenny was just so kind and even wheeled me out when my neighbor picked me up.
I've never had a problem with a male nurse. The only nurse I've had a problem with was a woman. After having surgery on my wrist, she didn't want to bother trying to put my bandaged wrist through my tshirt sleeve or even putting my jacket on me and was just gonna send me home with half of my chest just out in the open (as a grown woman). I was like yeah, no, we're not doing that. And then she had no idea how to put my sling on so my arm (with a nerve block) was BARELY supported. My dad fixed it when we got in the car.
@souldancersbyjennifer she was the one caring for me after surgery. I called her on the shirt thing and she helped me get my arm in. My dad came back in the room after i was dressed as he was my ride. She draped my coat over my shoulders, which covered the sling, and my dad was like don't worry, we'll fix it at the car
As a transporter for a hospital, discharges for the elderly is scary for this reason and a few others. I’m so hesitant to shut the door because I’m scared to slam some old ladies leg in the door
Lol I worry about my seven year old the same, I'm always scared I'm gonna slam the door on her fingers or foot the times that I close it. So now whenever I shut a door, I always ask "Everything inside?" first or "OK, now?" before I do it just to be sure 😊
My brother accidentally did that to his wife back when they were dating. He was being a gentlemen and got the door for her but accidentally close her fingers in the door. He felt so bad and from then on let her close her own door. His face was so sad for a while after that.
A radiographer weren’t looking where she was going when the A&E nurse was pushing me in my wheelchair to the exit where I’d wait for my parents. The radiographer fell over the foot plates landing heavily on my shoulder😖It was unavoidable the nurse couldn’t move me out the way quick enough. My shoulder dislocated which i popped back in myself, I’ve done this multiple times. My joints dislocate easily as I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome🦓So the nurse had to book me back into A&E for x-ray 🩻 When I went for the X-ray I heard that radiographer ask her colleague should she get her foot x-rayed as it got knocked by a wheelchair and hurt🤨 My X-ray showed Shoulder back in place but pulled ligaments, plus bruising and soft tissue damage to my hand and thumb. So lucky I didn’t break a bone but it still caused damage🦴 Was put in a sling for a few weeks. Unlucky should be my middle name 😕
My best friend works as a nurse aide, it’s a hard job and difficult to continue being a kind person but it makes a world of a difference. Patients can choose to write cards about employees if they felt like they did a really good job (so management can see) and he brings all of them home. Dozens of cards of people being overjoyed he held a conversation with them, got them water, did a magic trick etc just any sort of compassion. It makes me feel slightly better about the world.
My brothers were nurses starting in the 70’s , ran an ER in Seattle, the other became an ER MD,inspired me to be a nurse, my SIL is a nurse and sister is radiologist. Grew up in Rochester MN and worked and trained at Mayo Clinic.
From the country with the most nurses exported to other countries (Philippines) Females tend to be more nurturing and kind, and sometimes people don’t take them seriously because of how nice they are. (Older females not so much because they’ve been around BS for way too long). But people tend to be intimidated by male nurses no matter how nice they are, simply for the fact they’re male and (for example) they HAVE to get a needle in you whether you like it or not, and theyre gonna put it in quick rather than female nurses’ gentle coaxing.
Yeah the social stuff is really sucky, however I gotta say I love the nurses and phlebotomists who just get it over with because the coaxing makes me more nervous and tense whereas I’m so used to getting poked and blood draws and such that it doesn’t bother me UNLESS they start all that “ooh just a little pinch, you’ll do fine it’s not a big deal” that triggers something on me that says DANGER OMG THEY’RE PRETENDING IT WILL BE FINE! As opposed to “alright you’re done, you can go now.”
@@NEPAAlcheylol it doesn’t matter, it was done by the hospital’s employee in the course of their duty. A nurse who does off-site visits is still covered by their hospital’s insurance policy
As a mother is a habit of any car for our trunk shutting I make sure it's all clear. If I'm closing the door for anybody I mage sure they are fully in the car, belted up if they need assistance then say, careful I'm closing the door or something similar once they are fully clear of the door. My mom accidently shut the car door on my little sisters thumb at a gas station. She locked the doors before closing them so as my at the time preschool age sister was screaming my mom has to use her key with shaking hands to unlock it and release my sister. My mom ran into the gas station to buy some ice, she was holding a $20 bill and she was shaking so bad she ripped it in half. Thankfully the workers were empathetic taped the $20 back up and gave my mom the ice. Shockingly no broken bones but that's why I'm always extra cautious. That was well over 30 years ago and I still remember the panick when my mom realized what happened.
When taking an EMT class, I had to do 30 hours of clinical with 10 of those being ride along on fire station calls. The first one I did was a three hour ride along. There were two calls during that three hours (with a third just as my time was up leading to the chief on duty saying he was beginning to suspect I was a curse. In fairness, I was thinking the same thing, lol) and the second call was to the nearby main street where there was a three-car collision. No one was seriously injured but five people had to be driven BACK to the hospital as they'd only just been discharged about 15 minutes prior. With the ambulance that packed (I think there was two ambulances, but don't fully remember) there was no space to sit so I was riding to the hospital, standing up in the back as I watched the paramedics do the questionnaires with the patients and such.
When I was in hospital to deliver my child I got a male midwife and at first I was a bit nervous but I soon realised that he was a great midwife and looked after my needs so delicately. I was blessed for having him there.
I did that to my father in law... I'd been driving, he was sat behind me and went to grab the door pillar to pull himself out of the car as I closed my door. Luckily modern doors are apparently designed to prevent injury from trapped fingers so aside from it hurting like hell he was fine. Obviously I felt bad but the family all acted like it was my fault, I was like why the heck would I think to check for someone else's fingers in the door I just used for myself?!? And who puts their fingers in the doorframe of another door while doors are opening and closing?! 😬👀 Love them to bits but I still don't understand that one!
Well, I believe it's just one of those things older people do because they have less strength so they need to grab on to things more to support themselves and are a little clumsier hence they sometimes make choices that seem illogical to us. Surely, one wouldn't have expected to need to check for that, but perhaps it's something to add into our considerations as some people around us get older
@@souldancersbyjennifer Yeah I totally agree, I don't think it was at all my fault but it's something I will be more careful of now whenever I have someone elderly sitting behind me in the car!
Years ago, my little one got a fever when she was only 2 months old, I had to go to er at 2am. My husband was out of town so I had to take my 1,5 year old with me. I was on a verge of mental breakdown, just so worried, emotionally and physically exhausted. I got a male nurse and he was an angle, I can not thank him enough. Helped me to get my oldest comfortable, calmed me down, was checking on me and my little one while we were waiting for a doctor. I will never forget him! Nurses are truly the heart of the hospitals.
Can confirm, I was scooped up off the lab floor by a male nurse after nearly fainting from stress during clinical rotations. I was like “oh this is why your a part of the rapid response team”
After I had my second child c-section, I had a male nurse. I was in a lot of pain and he was kind and helped me sit (he just flat out pulled me up). There are times you need both strength and gentleness and this wonderful man had both.
My husband who’s not my husband but soon will be my husband wants to be a nurse and all I can think about is him picking me up. I hope he doesn’t break his back picking up his patients because I wanna be picked up 😩🥺❤️
Me and my buddy were transporters together. One time I was training him and we had a patient who was going home. He had just finished doing physical therapy as he could quite stand or walk unassisted. We were able to get him to his car with no issue. Even had one of the physical therapists help us get him stood up to take a seat in his car. Well the patient decided to celebrate getting to the car while he was leaning up against the seat. His knees buckled and he ended up on the floor yelling out in pain. To this day, my buddy being up how I dropped a patient while training him.
I prefer male nurses. I find them kinder, gentler and more respectful. One at the hospital remembered me. With the hundreds of people they must see every day, that made me feel special.
Because they are rare and if they make any mistake they can be easily removed from their job so they are a little bit careful don't complain on me my friend told me he is also a nurse
It probably helps that you know they aren’t interested in you sexually. I bet if a male nurse looked creepy and you knew he liked women you wouldn’t prefer them so much. Gay men are immediately less threatening to women
I always find that the tiniest nurses are always the fiercest at lifting/ transferring, because they have a chip on their shoulder and trying to prove themselves💪😅
In my 20 years of life, I found male nurse more comfortable and understandable to me as patient. There's one nurse who try to change my iv drip and suddenly there is emergency situation, but he still doing it gently, no rush whatsoever but immediately run after he exit the room. There is one female nurse or doctor who inject medicine from my iv drip, it is so ducking hurt my body feel like having a spasm, and that nurse pause for a second then continue without batting an eye to me. To this day that blood vessel is dead, like it closed up, and it is very long blood vessel. It draw from my hand, forearm, and, biceps.
What do they say about male nurses? I've been a nurse for 35 years. We do a lot of heavy lifting, we don't gossip or complain. People mistake us for doctors and we have to set them straight.Oh, I am also a Mikhail. I'm a Yakut. I look like Yul Brynner. I don't get a lot of "male nurse comments". I'm a very empathetic person however. I've mellowed after 62 years.
I’d argue it’s not a stereotype if it is true 100% of the time. That’s like saying it’s a stereotype that tea is just hot water with tea leaves in it. That’s just reality. Not a stereotype.
I was in the cardiac ICU and quite a few male nurses cared for me. I remember my first nurse teaching me some new relaxation techniques. He told me, “you’re about to do the hardest thing you’ve ever done but I’ll be here with you.” When I realized I was going to die alone (covid) he said, “First, I’m not going to let you die and second nobody dies alone in this hospital. I’ll be here.” That man felt like my guardian angel. He was compassionate but also bolstered me for battle. He was right - that was the hardest thing I have ever done and it got pretty scary, to the point where I needed an Impella, but I did it. I will never forget him.
As a former cna I have to say that ya all nurses don’t like to help worth a damn. I’ve heard multiple times I became a nurse so I don’t have to do your job. I quit being a cna specifically because of incredibly rude nurses. I’ve been cussed at by a nurse in front of residents. I’ve had multiple nurses ask me to endanger residents. I had one nurse tell me to dump a full empty brief barrel on the floor of the nursing home and when I told her no she walked me out and I was fired. None of the higher ups listen to you either. I figured healthcare workers would actually like helping people and boy was I wrong. Most of the ones I’ve met have also had the absolute worst attitudes too.
Cerified Nursing Assistant. Basically people who help take care of patients by performing "simple", but crucial tasks, like taking care of thejr hygiene, feeding, turning immobile patients around.
@@taan1424 ah ok thanks, they aren't a thing in my country then. We have porters to help with moving patients around but nurses are the ones doing all the other things you mentioned. There are kind of "ranks" of nurse that determine your tasks and pay that you generally move up through over the years as well as specialisations but they've all been through the same basic training at a nursing college.
@@taan1424 Thank you! Yes they are simple but absolutely crucial! We are the ones with the residents the most, we do most if not all of their daily care. Our nurses here especially in nursing homes just pass meds and chart. That’s about it. If they didn’t have to chart as much maybe they wouldn’t be so grumpy all the time.
I'm so sorry you had that experience. That is terrible. As a nurse in management/leadership, I BETTER NOT EVER catch one of my nurses saying anything like that. There is value in every level of care that we deliver. It is true that work needs to be divided and delegated for efficiency. I.e. nurses need to prioritize tasks that only nurses can do (like giving meds) but that doesn't mean that we can't help out once those higher priority tasks are complete. It sounds like you worked in a nursing home, is that right? I only worked in one for a rotation back in nursing school, but they seem like the worst places to work.
I've consistently had great quality care with male nurses. They were focused on their work, highly attentive and their method of communication was phenomenal. They stayed productive and mindful while working. All male nurses I've had.
My sister slammed three of my fingers in the car by accident when we were kids my mom opened the door and we just went home 😂 one is a little crooked at the end and I blame her.
He’s definitely not the nurse that’s going to make your day better. He already gave me flashbacks to every preppy airhead in my high school back in the 2000s and every corny jawbreaker type movie with those looks.
While in postpartum unit after having my daughter, I had a male nurse, Chris. He was fantastic! I was happy to see him the following night since I knew we’d be in great hands.
I had a c-section. There was a male OB nurse. I am a single mom, multiple spine fusions in the lumbar area. I don't remember his name, but the anesthesiologist hadn't received all the spine records I had transferred. He was only going to try my spinal one more time and if it didn't work, switch to general. That male nurse stepped in to act as my partner, wrapped his arms around me and got me into a better position. Because of him, I was awake to hear and see my premie during the procedure. He put me so at ease. I thank my lucky stars for him.
I like that testimony of yours. It's great! 👍🏻 There SHOULD be more male nurses.
Stop. I’m going to cry. That’s the sweetest thing ❤
My mom has a similar story with me.
I was a premature baby and I’m named after the doctor who took care of my mom. Dr.Scott
Edit: more info/more correct info now that I spoke to my mother recently about this topic.
Since we are Japanese, when they asked what my middle name is gonna be, they had no idea what to name me let alone what a middle name is.
So they looked at the doctor whose names was Scott.
Just thought I should throw that in there too
@@Mr.Scootini wtf stop that’s like 90’s television levels of wholesome 🥲
This just happened to me last year but no male nurse and they let me try to stay awake but once the pain got to intense from the C-section they put me under. I woke up with no baby and it was the worst birth I ever had (#3). I got to see him the next day in NICU but I missed out on so much, his first breath, skin to skin ect ... I'm so happy your story turned out good!!

@@WildeAbsinthe I've worked with many female nurses and I'm sorry for your experiences, but I just want to say i've worked with some truly outstanding and incredible female nurses who have gone above and beyond for their patients and have impeccable skills (ie injection technique).
Not underplaying your experience at all, but law of averages means some people will have experiences such as yours and the reverse.
@@cartergomez5390…I’ve always preferred male doctors and nurses too…. But honestly I have a female doctor currently because she was the only available one at the VA. Have been with her for about 4 years and she has been great.
And there are the hordes of molesters, secret video tapers, and outright grapists. Fix that
This guy is the complete opposite of nurturing and caring. You can tel by how he says "SHE slammed her fingers in the door". This diva is in it for the money and taking to colleagues all day long guaranteed. They are all the same.
I like having male staff around at my nursing home facility because patients tend to be a little more compliant and less likely to have behaviors when they are around. I'm teeny tiny, and patients sometimes don't take me seriously or try to get handsy with me, so having male staff around makes me feel safer
I am so sorry you have to deal with that, and so glad you don’t sound super bitter about crappy behavior from men. And still appreciate the good ones!
I agree. I’m a female nurse in a nursing home and most of our residents seem to respond better to male nurses - especially male residents. I think there’s something about having a male in a female-dominated environment 😅
@@anneannie1296 Its just natural that masculine energy commands and feminine energy nurtures , you need to have both the hammer and the scalpel
That's pretty much what I would guess. On a related note, I was on a flight last year where all of the flight attendants were male - big brawny guys - and there was NO trouble on that flight. Coincidence? Maybe...

Male nurse in training here. I am heterosexual. Stop the stereotyping.
My mom was hospitalized a lot throughout the duration of her chemotherapy (she made a full recovery after one year of hell), and the hospital unit she had to stay in had two incredible male nurses that I'll always remember - the energy they were radiating was just different. They in particular and one of the female nurses (who's one of my best friends today) went above and beyond to cheer my mom up and they called me EVERY DAY, either right in the morning or late at night wherever they were on duty, to give me updates on my mom's situation after I woke up and right before I went to bed. And this attitude contributes more to recovery that you might think! I made little "snack gift baskets" for the nurses in both units with cookies, several flavors of instant coffee, protein and granola bars and they were so incredibly grateful, it was EVERYTHING.
Bless ALL the nurses out there.
Nah, not all, lol. Met quite a few that was horrible
aww amazing! praise the Lord ❤❤❤
My Dad went through chemo and we brought his nurses chocolates, they were blown away.
I wish I could pay back my nurses there was one who treated me differently and she didn't know i went through chemo but never seen her no more she was a traveling nurse.
@@mark-jw1phYOUR nurse did not know you had chemo? what did she do to you then, how was she even involved with your stay?
I love the comments section, with people adding their anecdotes of wonderful male nurses! So wholesome 🤩
When I almost died and was in icu male nurses were the people that kept me intact. I had a couple female nurses but the males were above and beyond the people that pulled me through. I was in an abusive relationship and be even sat with me and asked if there was anyone else I could go home with and flat out told me they didn’t trust that guy and they were right.

When I was in the ER dealing with an aneurysm I wasn’t fully told what kind. My male nurse printed out an image and drew on it to explain to me in laments terms and brought me some ginger ale while he did so. He allowed me to ask as many questions as I had even tho my speech wasn’t great. His name is Justin I’m so grateful to him for that ❤🙏🏾

I once slammed my thumb in the sliding car door. I opened the door and rushed to my mom. She took me inside and I fainted in the bathroom. When I came to, I had a tiny, TINY scar on my knuckle. My thumb still functions perfectly and was never broken. I guess what saved it was the fact that I slammed it on my knuckle. Not sure though. That happened years ago.
Ahh the thumb is the worst
How long were you out, where a scar had time to form? (Lol)
You are lucky it wasn’t on the nail

Recently in ICU for esophageal varices, I was on a respirator for five days. I woke up and my male nurse Johnathan was an absolute angel. He woke me up so gently, helped my brush my teeth and even did my hair for me. I felt so ugly and nasty. He had me sit in the chair, get some sun and eat my breakfast. He was so sweet and treated me like I was his child. I’ll never forget him. All my nurses were incredible. I also had another male nurse and every time I woke up, he would say “hi, friend” with the sweetest smile. Those got me there those horrible days.
I always got nothing but compliments from My patients

2 types of male nurses- super smart, very helpful, organized and great team leaders or the dreaded I secretly wish I was a doctor and nurse work is beneath me, always chatting up the doctors like they’re all just the boys hanging out- and they are SUPER LAZY
My step-dad was a CNA. He was rugged, manly but sweet and strong. RIP
I survived double pneumonia and sepsis… on my last night in the hospital I had a male nurse and he is one of my all time favorites. He plugged my phone in for me while I was asleep. He never stopped checking in on people, would answer quickly. Also would find a way to check on you without waking you. I’m a light sleeper, so I knew almost every time but I can promise you that if you were not a light sleeper you would have never noticed him.

I’ve unfortunately been in the hospital a lot this past year with sepsis and other things and I have to say the nurses are incredible and in particular the male nurses are off the charts fantastic!
Me always wondering if the only reason we say that, is because male nurses are better trained at emotion skills and care-taking than most men and the bar is on the floor .... just like the pattern in men in childcare work or "awesome dads helping out at home (no, you jerks, he's just being a husband and parent, damn it!)"

Not trying to start a fight, but I don't get the negative outlook on this. Respect and praise is how you get people to change, not scorn and ridicule.
If anything, we should strive to praise everyone, who does a good job at whatever they're doing - not treat compliments as some kind of scarce resource, that needs to be fought over, don't you think?

Edit: I'm sorry, the sleep was all I could think about. So sorry how you got dismissed. That's horrible!☹️ They should pay your bill!!!
Uhg, I could not sleep in the hospital when I was there for sepsis. The only day I slept was after the surgery because of the drugs. I was so weak and pathetic, but somehow just couldn't sleep on that mattress. That's just ridiculous! They were good to me though ❤️
The mild flirting is so obv in this I'm SHOCKED
My grandfather used to teach my siblings and I etiquette at a very young age. He told us a story similar to that where he slammed a girl's hand in the door on accident on their first date. He learned from then on always to say "hands and feet" with with a quick visual check as he shut the door. I never thought etiquette training would be such a sweet memory for me.
I’m 5’0 & 118 pounds and when I was nursing, if there was a large heavy patient that needed to be transferred they would come find me. I was always tiny but boy was I strong! 💪🏻 and everyone knew it! My career was ended by a severe debilitating injury that left me with permanent restrictions and limitations. Breaks my heart to loose that strength and ability to help others the way I did. It was a rewarding 15 years 💔
I'm so sorry to hear about your injury... Hope you heal that somehow eventually
So sad! I hope you found a different job that allowed you to continue working but not be as physical…. 😞
That's the thing though, they take advantage of the staff willing to push themselves like you until you are left in ruin from injury and they are nowhere to help. They have the technology now to where you physically don't need to do any real lifting of the patient and have for several decades. Instead of buying the proper transport devices they run their staff into the ground. So many places they expected my mother to end up both harming herself and the patient Instead of someone getting, or grabbing for her one of said transport devices. Patients that coudlnt stand on their own were expected to somehow "lift themselves" by holding the railing to the bed despite my mother explaining that wasn't possible. Eventually higher staff would finally cave and grab them for her once she'd tell them okay then I want you to show me how you do it, and they couldn't because they were talking out their behinds and had never done it without a lift. I'm so sorry that was done to you❤ I hope you are in better health now and have a handle on your treatment❤ Thank you for all the love and care you poured into the lives of the patients you cared for❤
Damn 😅

I had a craniotomy and my nurse was a male. He paid more attention to me than the female nurses. He gave me a sponge bath.

I got moved from the Intensive care unit to another floor and he still came to visit me to see how I was doing. ❤️ 💕 💗
Omg my hospital has the best male nurses they are the sweetest most attentive nurses. I'm a chronic illness patient so they see me quite a bit. I love seeing them and feel more at ease when they're there.
I made a lifelong friend when I was in the emergency room alone because my ex was the reason I was there. I was losing our child and was in a panic my nurse sat with me held my hand talked to me sang, wiped my tears, held my hair when I was vomiting, reassuring me that I wasn't the problem etc. We are still friends today I was his wife's bridesmaid!
I’m a nurse who is female but most of the male nurses I talk to actually hate this cliche that they should be the ones who have to come lift the heavy patients, they have spines to take care of too.

I was severely dehydrated and the female nurses kept messing up putting in my IV making me faint. They were at their wits end getting me ready to do an ultrasound-guided IV catheter placement, which was terrifying me and making me extremely anxious, when a male nurse from the ER down stairs happened to walk by, saw a bunch of people and eqipment with just me, poked his head in and was like, "whats all this now?" They explained what happened and he walked over, took my right arm, tapped the middle of my lower arm and said he'd be able to do it with a butterfly IV for children EASY. No fuss! Id just have to wait longer for the fluids to be done than normal. Instant relief for me! Bless male nurses! ❤
They struggle to find a vein every time I go for treatment every couple of weeks, and now the nurses are literally just saying “omg I’m so sorry” and whatever, every time they miss. It makes me feel really bad.

@@miegravgaardxoxohey I’m a nursing student and it happens like it’s tough to find the veins for certain patients at times 😭
Also, it's hard when veins (like mine) will roll. They will close valves and not open again. They won't let the nurses thread the I've needle either. The only reason I don't have a pick line or port is because I would, most likely, not survive an infection. So I get my nutrition and fluids through my gj feeding tube, which is a hole that goes straight to my stomach, and part of it goes into my juendum (or however you spell it) I was at a hospital where they have a lot training docs and nurses, and I didn't care if I was their their lil pin cushion (within reason) 😂 but at least the charge nurse was always able to get it 😂

Nurses are angels, both male and female... I had a male nurse transporting me from the E.R. to the upper floors for admission. Unfortunately I have had such extreme trauma from certain medical events in my life, that the male being the one moving me from one bed to the other actually had me in full-blown shaking anxiety and in quiet tears... But I didn't say anything. The wonderful female nurse, that was accompanying us - she was an angel... Once we got into my room, she noticed my shaking, because I heard her say to the male nurse - "I've got it from here", the male nurse said, "You sure?" as I'm sure he is usually the one to physically help transfer people into the new bed - and I didn't see her but I could hear in her voice a sort-of head nod like, "I'm not going to say outloud why, but you know why..." Another female nurse stepped in and helped her move me into the other bed. I had in fact had an "accident" out of fear and anxiety (like a scared puppy)... Both of these lovely women helped me feel so comfortable, even talking about how it happens to them all the time because "after kids, oh its no big deal!". I haven't even had kids, at my age I probably never will... But they both made me feel so cared for with such compassion, even within such a traumatic reliving of an event. They'll never know what they meant to me in that moment. I don't even have any family, no one came to visit me except for my boyfriend when he could, but he works 12 hours a day. The nurses at that hospital all kept me company, and in return I have always treated them with as much cooperation, kindness, respect, and appreciation they deserve 🥺🙏 We always hear horror stories, but I wanted to share this beautifully wonderful experience of mine with nurses 💙
This story was beautiful, and I hope you're doing better, now.
Also, I've had a couple kids. Every sneeze is a risk 😅 The best nurses are the most compassionate about things like that ❤
I loved working with male nurses. Every once in a while, you get that patient that has that crazy wild look, and I would ask one of the male nurses to come with me when I didn’t feel safe and every time I asked, they would always come with me. I absolutely adored the male nurses I’ve worked with over the years.
The nod gestures, face expressions, the back and forth banter, the inflections in tone - hmmm … 🤭

i had a male nurse back in 2023 when i was in the hospital after having major abdominal surgery. he was super sweet and funny too.
one day he was making his rounds and i told him i was in pain. i couldn’t have any tylenol or tramodol since it was too early to take one of them again and the only thing left was dilaudid. i was a bit nervous/unsure about taking a narcotic pain medication since i didn’t wanna get addicted to it. he was so kind and understanding about it and reassured me that most of the time when patients take narcotic pain meds only as prescribed they usually won’t get addicted to it. after hearing that i agreed to take it and he was so reassuring and said “i think you made the right choice”.
If you were taking Tramadol, you were already on a narcotic. That is an opioid. Sorry they didn’t inform you well about the meds you were on until after you raised a concern- but just for your own knowledge, Tramadol is a narcotic painkiller.
This is the first time I've heard someone speak on their experience as a hospital transporter on Doctor Mike's channel! I currently do transport and it's sad how often the position is overlooked by some nurses😭
You are noticed I promise you, I have great relationships with a lot of them, they always come in with a smile. Particularly those of you who are really good at your job and can anticipate the needs of the patient (assist them walking, get covers, pillows) and can observe how busy (nurses) we are and save us a step or two (release form printed, monitor box retrieved). I've had transporters give me attitude for waiting (they are usually new on the job) while the experienced ones just save time by preparing everything instead of just waiting for the nurse to do everything.
When I had major surgery last yr I had two of the most amazing male nurses care for me that night. The kindness, compassion and ability to not judge me to my face was wonderful. They ensured I got my meds when the pain got too much, chatted with me when I did my walks, and even made sure to bring me hot cocoa. I might not remember their names, but I will never forget how amazing they were.
My favorite nurse when I was inpatient was the male nurse in our unit named Ivan! I’ll never forget him but he went above and beyond and made that stay good.
If I missed breakfast he’d save my tray before they took the cart away so I could eat when I got up. He also let me have a paper airplane race in the halls(which another nurse later yelled at me for😅)
Omg that’s so sweet
I have several male nurses on my unit. I'm the clerk/sometimes a CNA. I have one malr nurse who i always ask to move the copy paper to the conference room for me (because they always deliver all of them to the nurses station). I love my male nurses. Oh and they are all straight dudes
Well, that dude isn't 😂
@@DaneOrschlovsky "✨️i had a little accident 🥰💅" Confirmed the stereotype in seconds lol
@@DaneOrschlovskyLol I said the same exact thing before saw your comment 😄
I have heard from multiple accounts from my female friends that they always request a male nurse/doctor when it comes time for physicals and other sensitive procedures because the male staff was always more courteous and gentle than the female staff was.
They had a female doctor doing a physical, and when they told her she was causing them pain, she brushed them off and told them everything was fine before continuing.
The next time they asked for a male doctor, and the moment they said they were uncomfortable he pulled back and let them recover before continuing much more gently.
Hector was my nurse when I had a hysterectomy at 34. He was my sisters nurse shortly after. I was at that hospital a couple years ago to get some lab work (I’m 58 now) and I saw Hector & spoke with him. He remembered me and my sister. Great nurse. Great person.
I had a male nurse for the delivery of my youngest son. My husband asked me if I was ok with him being my nurse. I said sure I am fine with it. I can only say thank goodness we had him in that room. My delivery was a bit scary and urgent. He kept his cool and was able to handle flipping me back and forth for the whole time trying to get my extra large child out. He was the best and I thanked him so many times. ❤
I’ve never had a negative interaction with a male nurse. They have always been kind, caring, compassionate, understanding and the key..EMPATHETIC! I’ve only had a handful of males in my last 12 years of fighting for my life but I’ll take a male nurse on my team any day!!
can anyone else sense a little energy between these two, didn’t expect it dr magic mike

I had this awesome tech at one of the hospitals locally and he was the sweetest and kindest guy. 25 with a ❤ of gold and the best smile and held my hand and helped me not pass out while waiting for blood to come out of somewhere. I was super dehydrated and I can only use my right arm and I need those tiny butterfly needles and even then I'm lucky if anything comes out or stays in. It's awful. Kenny was just so kind and even wheeled me out when my neighbor picked me up.
I've never had a problem with a male nurse. The only nurse I've had a problem with was a woman. After having surgery on my wrist, she didn't want to bother trying to put my bandaged wrist through my tshirt sleeve or even putting my jacket on me and was just gonna send me home with half of my chest just out in the open (as a grown woman). I was like yeah, no, we're not doing that. And then she had no idea how to put my sling on so my arm (with a nerve block) was BARELY supported. My dad fixed it when we got in the car.
Wtf... What about other nurses? No one bothered to fix what she did?
@souldancersbyjennifer she was the one caring for me after surgery. I called her on the shirt thing and she helped me get my arm in. My dad came back in the room after i was dressed as he was my ride. She draped my coat over my shoulders, which covered the sling, and my dad was like don't worry, we'll fix it at the car
Yea I've dealt w mean women nurses and nice male ones
As a transporter for a hospital, discharges for the elderly is scary for this reason and a few others. I’m so hesitant to shut the door because I’m scared to slam some old ladies leg in the door
Lol I worry about my seven year old the same, I'm always scared I'm gonna slam the door on her fingers or foot the times that I close it. So now whenever I shut a door, I always ask "Everything inside?" first or "OK, now?" before I do it just to be sure 😊
My brother accidentally did that to his wife back when they were dating. He was being a gentlemen and got the door for her but accidentally close her fingers in the door. He felt so bad and from then on let her close her own door. His face was so sad for a while after that.
My dad has been a male nurse for at least 30 years. He's amazing and is a rock in my life. Love you dad 🩷
A radiographer weren’t looking where she was going when the A&E nurse was pushing me in my wheelchair to the exit where I’d wait for my parents. The radiographer fell over the foot plates landing heavily on my shoulder😖It was unavoidable the nurse couldn’t move me out the way quick enough. My shoulder dislocated which i popped back in myself, I’ve done this multiple times. My joints dislocate easily as I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome🦓So the nurse had to book me back into A&E for x-ray 🩻 When I went for the X-ray I heard that radiographer ask her colleague should she get her foot x-rayed as it got knocked by a wheelchair and hurt🤨 My X-ray showed Shoulder back in place but pulled ligaments, plus bruising and soft tissue damage to my hand and thumb. So lucky I didn’t break a bone but it still caused damage🦴 Was put in a sling for a few weeks. Unlucky should be my middle name 😕
the question really was:
💅🏼 is it true about male nurses ✨ 🕺🏾 ? 👀

My best friend works as a nurse aide, it’s a hard job and difficult to continue being a kind person but it makes a world of a difference. Patients can choose to write cards about employees if they felt like they did a really good job (so management can see) and he brings all of them home. Dozens of cards of people being overjoyed he held a conversation with them, got them water, did a magic trick etc just any sort of compassion. It makes me feel slightly better about the world.
My brothers were nurses starting in the 70’s , ran an ER in Seattle, the other became an ER MD,inspired me to be a nurse, my SIL is a nurse and sister is radiologist. Grew up in Rochester MN and worked and trained at Mayo Clinic.
Wow! A whole line of great healthcare workers! Thank you for your hard work and care. You are never appreciated enough.
From the country with the most nurses exported to other countries (Philippines) Females tend to be more nurturing and kind, and sometimes people don’t take them seriously because of how nice they are. (Older females not so much because they’ve been around BS for way too long). But people tend to be intimidated by male nurses no matter how nice they are, simply for the fact they’re male and (for example) they HAVE to get a needle in you whether you like it or not, and theyre gonna put it in quick rather than female nurses’ gentle coaxing.
Yeah the social stuff is really sucky, however I gotta say I love the nurses and phlebotomists who just get it over with because the coaxing makes me more nervous and tense whereas I’m so used to getting poked and blood draws and such that it doesn’t bother me UNLESS they start all that “ooh just a little pinch, you’ll do fine it’s not a big deal” that triggers something on me that says DANGER OMG THEY’RE PRETENDING IT WILL BE FINE!
As opposed to “alright you’re done, you can go now.”
I like the older nurses. The younger nurses are taught by social media that it's OK to be burned out and complain about it.
Does the hospital pay for her finger injuries then?
Yup
I'm sure they fought tooth and nail not to since he's wasn't on their property but in her own car.
He sounds gay ass hell
They probably did fight it but he was on the clock she was his patient. They def transferred him to a dif unit tho 😂
@@NEPAAlcheylol it doesn’t matter, it was done by the hospital’s employee in the course of their duty. A nurse who does off-site visits is still covered by their hospital’s insurance policy

As a mother is a habit of any car for our trunk shutting I make sure it's all clear. If I'm closing the door for anybody I mage sure they are fully in the car, belted up if they need assistance then say, careful I'm closing the door or something similar once they are fully clear of the door. My mom accidently shut the car door on my little sisters thumb at a gas station. She locked the doors before closing them so as my at the time preschool age sister was screaming my mom has to use her key with shaking hands to unlock it and release my sister. My mom ran into the gas station to buy some ice, she was holding a $20 bill and she was shaking so bad she ripped it in half. Thankfully the workers were empathetic taped the $20 back up and gave my mom the ice. Shockingly no broken bones but that's why I'm always extra cautious. That was well over 30 years ago and I still remember the panick when my mom realized what happened.
When taking an EMT class, I had to do 30 hours of clinical with 10 of those being ride along on fire station calls. The first one I did was a three hour ride along. There were two calls during that three hours (with a third just as my time was up leading to the chief on duty saying he was beginning to suspect I was a curse. In fairness, I was thinking the same thing, lol) and the second call was to the nearby main street where there was a three-car collision. No one was seriously injured but five people had to be driven BACK to the hospital as they'd only just been discharged about 15 minutes prior. With the ambulance that packed (I think there was two ambulances, but don't fully remember) there was no space to sit so I was riding to the hospital, standing up in the back as I watched the paramedics do the questionnaires with the patients and such.
"welcome back to the hospital" is DIABOLICAL
Oh, I'm picking up some VIBES. Is Dr. Mike...?
As an ICU nurse, I loooovvvveee all the male nurses I work with. They’re rockstars!!
When I was in hospital to deliver my child I got a male midwife and at first I was a bit nervous but I soon realised that he was a great midwife and looked after my needs so delicately. I was blessed for having him there.
"I was gonna let you fill that in" Dr. Mike would be a good cop 👮
I did that to my father in law... I'd been driving, he was sat behind me and went to grab the door pillar to pull himself out of the car as I closed my door. Luckily modern doors are apparently designed to prevent injury from trapped fingers so aside from it hurting like hell he was fine.
Obviously I felt bad but the family all acted like it was my fault, I was like why the heck would I think to check for someone else's fingers in the door I just used for myself?!? And who puts their fingers in the doorframe of another door while doors are opening and closing?! 😬👀 Love them to bits but I still don't understand that one!
Well, I believe it's just one of those things older people do because they have less strength so they need to grab on to things more to support themselves and are a little clumsier hence they sometimes make choices that seem illogical to us.
Surely, one wouldn't have expected to need to check for that, but perhaps it's something to add into our considerations as some people around us get older
@@souldancersbyjennifer Yeah I totally agree, I don't think it was at all my fault but it's something I will be more careful of now whenever I have someone elderly sitting behind me in the car!
This is literally why i always say "Watch your arms. watch your legs." When i go to close doore. This is a fear of mine
Same, except mine is "Everything inside? OK good". I got a young kid so I'm always mindful of that as well 😊
Years ago, my little one got a fever when she was only 2 months old, I had to go to er at 2am. My husband was out of town so I had to take my 1,5 year old with me. I was on a verge of mental breakdown, just so worried, emotionally and physically exhausted. I got a male nurse and he was an angle, I can not thank him enough. Helped me to get my oldest comfortable, calmed me down, was checking on me and my little one while we were waiting for a doctor. I will never forget him! Nurses are truly the heart of the hospitals.
😂 I loved being a transporter and if something like that would’ve happened to me I think I would’ve discharged myself out of this world.
😭
Not sure what "they say" about male nurses.... but this one is, for sure! Lol...
Can confirm, I was scooped up off the lab floor by a male nurse after nearly fainting from stress during clinical rotations. I was like “oh this is why your a part of the rapid response team”
After I had my second child c-section, I had a male nurse. I was in a lot of pain and he was kind and helped me sit (he just flat out pulled me up). There are times you need both strength and gentleness and this wonderful man had both.

Me and my buddy were transporters together. One time I was training him and we had a patient who was going home. He had just finished doing physical therapy as he could quite stand or walk unassisted. We were able to get him to his car with no issue. Even had one of the physical therapists help us get him stood up to take a seat in his car. Well the patient decided to celebrate getting to the car while he was leaning up against the seat. His knees buckled and he ended up on the floor yelling out in pain. To this day, my buddy being up how I dropped a patient while training him.
I prefer male nurses. I find them kinder, gentler and more respectful. One at the hospital remembered me. With the hundreds of people they must see every day, that made me feel special.
Because they are rare and if they make any mistake they can be easily removed from their job so they are a little bit careful don't complain on me my friend told me he is also a nurse
It probably helps that you know they aren’t interested in you sexually. I bet if a male nurse looked creepy and you knew he liked women you wouldn’t prefer them so much. Gay men are immediately less threatening to women
Why’s bro so zesty
You: “whys a gay guy acting gay and feminine”.😮
Because he is a male nurse, tf you mean 😂 shouldn’t that be a dead give away?

In my 20 years of life, I found male nurse more comfortable and understandable to me as patient. There's one nurse who try to change my iv drip and suddenly there is emergency situation, but he still doing it gently, no rush whatsoever but immediately run after he exit the room. There is one female nurse or doctor who inject medicine from my iv drip, it is so ducking hurt my body feel like having a spasm, and that nurse pause for a second then continue without batting an eye to me.
To this day that blood vessel is dead, like it closed up, and it is very long blood vessel. It draw from my hand, forearm, and, biceps.
The narrative that women are super empathetic is fake. I usually find them cold and uncaring in the hospital setting.
What do they say about male nurses? I've been a nurse for 35 years. We do a lot of heavy lifting, we don't gossip or complain. People mistake us for doctors and we have to set them straight.Oh, I am also a Mikhail. I'm a Yakut. I look like Yul Brynner. I don't get a lot of "male nurse comments". I'm a very empathetic person however. I've mellowed after 62 years.
It probably has to do with the thick lisp and the stereotype that male nurses are gay. My cousin is a male nurse and is gay.
Yh majority are nothin wrong with it it’s just fact 🤣 this guy is too
I was waiting for a comment like this. Can't be just me thinking what do they think about male nurses? 😂
I’d argue it’s not a stereotype if it is true 100% of the time. That’s like saying it’s a stereotype that tea is just hot water with tea leaves in it. That’s just reality. Not a stereotype.
I wouldn’t say a majority but definitely a higher percentage of males in nursing are gay I’d argue a majority are straight
I was in the cardiac ICU and quite a few male nurses cared for me. I remember my first nurse teaching me some new relaxation techniques. He told me, “you’re about to do the hardest thing you’ve ever done but I’ll be here with you.” When I realized I was going to die alone (covid) he said, “First, I’m not going to let you die and second nobody dies alone in this hospital. I’ll be here.” That man felt like my guardian angel. He was compassionate but also bolstered me for battle. He was right - that was the hardest thing I have ever done and it got pretty scary, to the point where I needed an Impella, but I did it. I will never forget him.
They also say male nurses tend to be gay
Bro i was thinking is he gay because he’s a nurse or he chose that cause he’s gay 😂
I’m also a male nurse, and I’m also gay, so I can say that. 🙃
As a former cna I have to say that ya all nurses don’t like to help worth a damn. I’ve heard multiple times I became a nurse so I don’t have to do your job. I quit being a cna specifically because of incredibly rude nurses. I’ve been cussed at by a nurse in front of residents. I’ve had multiple nurses ask me to endanger residents. I had one nurse tell me to dump a full empty brief barrel on the floor of the nursing home and when I told her no she walked me out and I was fired. None of the higher ups listen to you either. I figured healthcare workers would actually like helping people and boy was I wrong. Most of the ones I’ve met have also had the absolute worst attitudes too.
What's a cna? I don't think they're a thing in my country.
Cerified Nursing Assistant. Basically people who help take care of patients by performing "simple", but crucial tasks, like taking care of thejr hygiene, feeding, turning immobile patients around.
@@taan1424 ah ok thanks, they aren't a thing in my country then. We have porters to help with moving patients around but nurses are the ones doing all the other things you mentioned. There are kind of "ranks" of nurse that determine your tasks and pay that you generally move up through over the years as well as specialisations but they've all been through the same basic training at a nursing college.
@@taan1424 Thank you! Yes they are simple but absolutely crucial! We are the ones with the residents the most, we do most if not all of their daily care. Our nurses here especially in nursing homes just pass meds and chart. That’s about it. If they didn’t have to chart as much maybe they wouldn’t be so grumpy all the time.
I'm so sorry you had that experience. That is terrible. As a nurse in management/leadership, I BETTER NOT EVER catch one of my nurses saying anything like that. There is value in every level of care that we deliver.
It is true that work needs to be divided and delegated for efficiency. I.e. nurses need to prioritize tasks that only nurses can do (like giving meds) but that doesn't mean that we can't help out once those higher priority tasks are complete.
It sounds like you worked in a nursing home, is that right? I only worked in one for a rotation back in nursing school, but they seem like the worst places to work.
I've consistently had great quality care with male nurses. They were focused on their work, highly attentive and their method of communication was phenomenal. They stayed productive and mindful while working. All male nurses I've had.
I had a couple of nurses and every single one was respectable kind, professional and definitely exactly where they needed to be.
