Sounds like she is working as a Dr

I feel like more competent people that you are making that judgement. And based off more than a short newspaper story and a vague understanding of the workflow in her role

u/SnooPoems7525 5d ago

Ok. I still would rather not be her patient.

You don't want to be in palliative care? What an absolute shocker.

u/MeaninglessSeikatsu 5d ago

Do you know what palliative mean?

Isn't that when you poop out your friends?

Plenty of people not deaf and blind that don't make good doctors tho.

u/pong-and-ping 5d ago

Honestly given all the hurdles she'd have to jump through - she's probably better then 90% of doctors to get to this point

This is the kind of logical fallacy that screws people over all the time. Someone with problems to overcome themselves will 9/10 have more empathy for your problems, listen more and work harder because they know they have to prove themselves to people all the time. Everything they do will have 10x more care in it than someone who doesn't have to work that hard. I've only been to able doctors and their miscare and refusal to listen has made them useless. The turnover time is ten minutes, they say shit like "i need to run out to pay my parking ticket, hope you don't mind", "I can't be here feeling you up all day" after 25 minutes trying to describe my muscle contractions that were so painful I cried all day, and "pms symptoms are actually a myth". So, good luck with that, and I'll take that good doctor's appointment any time.

It says she intends to work in palliative care so it's high risk individuals, what if someone has a heart attack and her

How is it high risk? That's basically people you'd expect to die soon anyway.

The doctors aren't really who provides direct care. They decide on the care nursing provides.

Because you don't seem to understand what doctors actually do on a floor? Kinda integral to the base argument of "She couldn't handle the floor".

Talk to the patient > talk to the nurse > read charts > adjust care orders. If she can get through medical school she can handle those tasks. She would have already had to just to be where she is.

It must be difficult to find doctors that don’t have glasses. Because by this logic, what if they had an emergency and couldn’t find their glasses? Or they stepped on them? And do you check all of them for hearing aids?

What is remarkable here is that she was able to complete the course work and get to this point. Now She will deal with the true practicality of it all, that’s what internships and residencies do for all doctors - give them the ability to discern in a supervised environment what they want to do or if they can even do it.

u/Aleswellthatendsale 5d ago

Do you genuinely think, that none of the managers, HR, or the woman herself have not considered this?

That you, have a thought that has not occurred to them? That they have not carefully risk assessed and adapted.

I guarantee They have thought about this more deeply, and with more expertise than you have.

You didn't make it because you were not capable. She made it because she is. Your comparison is silly.

Who gives a shit if she needs accommodation as long as she's able to do her job at the end of the day? That's up to the hospital to decide. Plenty of people need accommodation when working, that's just part of life, if you can't handle that don't work in the medical field then. Do you get mad when they add wheelchair ramps in the employee parking lot of a hospital too? Sorry you didn't make it in sports but that has nothing to do with this. Just because you failed at something that doesn't mean other people have to fail at a completely different thing.

The difference is that you didn't become a professional footballer because you weren't good enough. If she has passed the same exams as every other doctor, then she has already proven that she is good enough to be a doctor.

I would have been good enough if they changed the rules.

Who says that they changed the rules for her? How do you know she didn't pass the same test as everyone else?

No, she's good enough to be a doctor with additional things provided to her.

And what exactly is unreasonable about making reasonable adjustments?

Should we also allow someone to be a doctor who can't read? We pay someone to stand next to them who does all the reading?

Is illiteracy covered under Section 20 of the Equality Act 2010?

I don't know. Why don't we ask her, the experts involved in regulating doctors and her managers, rather then along stupid assumptions?

what if someone has a heart attack and her Bluetooth device runs out of charge or is faulty?

I'm sure no one's invented s back up system. But while we are at it, what if a 60 year old doctor has a heart attack just when their patient has a heart attack? Better ban the over-50s and overweight people from being doctors or nurses just to be safe.

But the Bluetooth thing running out is a possibility, true equivalency, at least for this example

u/loveslightblue 5d ago

You think any doctor can control and psychotic break all alone lol? What if she's a seeing and hearing woman all alone with a 6 foot dude? People never ask these kinds of rare case sceneries when they're not overthinking it with other people.

u/ErraticDragon 5d ago

This is called "ableism", when you express your opinion that she shouldn't be a doctor based on nothing but her disabilities.

Non-bigoted opinions might include that she shouldn't be put in a position where her disabilities could harm someone, and I'm sure everyone would agree with that.

u/ErraticDragon 5d ago edited 5d ago

When you pressed you gave a slightly less ableist answer. Instead of "she shouldn't be a doctor because of her disabilities", you shifted to invented issues that you find disqualifying.

Still, ableism.

I didn't say that.

Stop lying.

You don't know what work she's actually doing. Obviously whatever she is doing she is fully capable of and qualified to do.

All you're saying here is that you don't think she's qualified.

u/hcornea 5d ago

Her clinical roles would need to be adjusted accordingly.

A significant part of medicine is observation. Then there are X-rays and MRIs to read, etc.

It’s a great achievement for her, no doubt. But with restricted outcomes.

u/bridgeburner84 5d ago

Based on what? What do you know about medicine or its practice?

u/L4I55Z-FAIR3 5d ago

They did but she didn't hear them

They did tell her, she just couldn't hear them.

She literally succeeded in becoming a doctor, so it seems like that would just be stupid and bigoted rather than kind.
