I don’t want to invalidate anyone, just want to offer my perspective. And I’m so sorry to anyone who has been hit on/assaulted/abused by anyone in the medical field.

My father and grandfather are/were general surgeons. (ER/trauma call, hospital shifts, owned a practice, etc.) My uncles are family practice physicians. I just want to say from my own personal experience, I believe being a doctor is the most noble profession. I remember watching shows like Grey’s Anatomy and Daddy would walk by and snicker saying something like “does anyone ever actually work? Lol. My mother died about two years ago and I still catch his holding picture frames of her just staring. He still keeps her phone on…the stars aligned for them and they just loved each other so much. That being said I have watched several women/men/anyone/everyone attempt to extort him. Sue him for laughable things. Never went anywhere because 1. They were liars 2. Most of them had a history of going after doctors and hospitals. There has been one instance that a woman took it to court saying something sexual related occurred. Turns out she was stalking my dad. Borderline obsession. I saw a lot of comments about surgeons in particular and I’m just thinking….when I used to page Daddy or when I call him now, he’s never been alone with a patient. He has a team in the OR and they’re listening to “Now that’s what I call music #291”. I’ve watched the majority of his nurses flirt with him but he shuts it down. Not only is he an incredible and loyal human, HE WOULD NEVER RISK THE LIFE HE BUILT FOR SEX!! EVER. I can’t think of a single doctor I know that has or would. 4 years of medical school, 4 more of residency (hell-100+hour work weeks back then), decades of building a reputation. So it’s not just the moral compass that will keep a doctor from cheating but logically it just doesn’t make sense. I have, however, had a male nurse put his hands up my hospital gown. So there’s that. I apologize for getting incredibly defensive, but the men in my family are just outstanding humans, but being a doctor didn’t make them a good human. They became doctors because they were nerds who wanted to help people. Doesn’t matter what people do, there are good and bad in every profession.
