Alcohol and The Doctor – Part 2

Dr. Dev (Fictional Name) met one female dietician at a social gathering. When she came to know that Dr. Dev was a surgeon, she recounted one incident which happened to her.

The lady dietician once had severe colicky abdominal pain at around 12.30 am in the night. The dietician’s brother took her to the nearby nursing home being run by a senior surgeon of the city. When contacted by the hospital’s reception staff, the surgeon agreed to come down from his residence and look at the patient. The dietician and her brother were thankful that the surgeon had agreed to treat her at such a late hour.

Her thanks turned to amazement and disgust when the surgeon came down to see her, shirtless, wearing a cotton vest, a towel wrapped around his waist and breath reeking of alcohol. He examined her, advised some injections which relieved her of the pain. But due to his presentation in the night, she never went to him again for further treatment.

It is better to refuse to see some patient if you are not entirely presentable unless it is a dire emergency and there is no time for the patient to reach some other doctor or hospital.

A dress code has to be always followed, no matter what the time. If necessary, surgeons can follow the suggestion at  https://agnipathdoctors.blogspot.com/2016/04/the-ot-dress.html
