I received feedback that holding the patient’s hand as they are put under is not in my job description as a medical student intending to apply to surgery and I gotta say, the idea of that being a negative thing about me really sums up a lot of what’s wrong here

I was in the elevator coming off a rough shift and an older couple got in with me. The man said that I was brave to wear my pride pin bc “we don’t tolerate ~your kind~ around here” and I was like, “…you don’t tolerate DOCTORS? Sir are you aware that you’re in a hospital” 😌🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

The rest of the surgeons in the room are always just standing with their arms crossed, waiting for the patient to be asleep. Is it really so bad for me to not do that? I’m still helping prep before and after. This doesn’t detract from my other duties.

A dentist told me I needed $2500 of work done urgently and I was so freaked out bc I’m uninsured so I got a dental discount plan and went to a dentist who takes it, who said, “uhhhhh no they were taking you for a ride, come back in 6 months for cleaning” and didn’t charge me 😑
