  • @maxximusi5049
    @maxximusi5049 Місяць тому

    You ask females, would you be comfortable with a male sonographer. Do females ask males, are you comfortable with a female. Do female US techs feel hurt when males only want a make US Tech. Do female US techs ask males if they want male chaperones for testicular exams. Only female chaperones for transvaginal ultrasounds. Did you require male chaperones for testicular ultrasounds. If not, not very egalitarian. Why would be a double edged sword. It should be bilaterally enforced without question. If it were inverted, it would concisely be resolved no matter the circumstance if it were a female. She gaslighrs the situation and brings up the question for a testicular, or transrectal needing a chaperone (amusing that she says if they need a chaperone, not indicating the sex of the chaperone which would be female and exacerbate the situation for the male for the worse). I'm sure all the male "invasive" procedures she does it alone. Yeah, males be wary, and cautious of the vulnerable, and precarious positions, female healthcare workers when approaching you.

    I worked in the mental health field for 5 years, and it gave me PTSD. But it was from discrimination and dealing with the type of female coworkers that flock to that field. I’m not sure if I should work in public anymore or get a degree in something that has more wfh opportunities? I’d be good at ultrasound I think but I’m afraid. It’s either this or an MBA. I want to work with professionals
