  • Back at you with another ‪@DGlaucomflecken‬ reaction video. Today I break down Dr. Glaucomfleckens easy going surgeon. Well he is not so easy going in the end.
    This video inspired me to explore some surgical history. Scrub caps have created a bit of stir about 5 years. Dr. Glaucomflecken uses the scrub caps to portray different OR personalities.
    A few interesting links related to this video.

    Female surgeon from Singapore here. I didn't know this thing about the caps was an issue! Certainly isn't in my hospital. Everyone just wears whichever one they prefer. I have long hair and usually wear the bouffant cap, but managed to tie up and stuff my hair into a skull cap several times before when the usual disposable bouffant cap i use was out of stock. We don't seem to have that few male nurses also, but perhaps that's because i'm in ortho.

      Yes, hat type WAS an issue recently. But it had more to do with nurses declaring a power battle: nurses LOVE telling MDs what to do. I admit the "skullcap tradition" argument was misguided, but the science proved the nurses wrong.

      You do have a point. However, in an already extremely difficult field small barriers/benefits can make significant differences - if the small comfort of a patient thanking you every once in a while can be the reason you keep going to work, it stands to reason that the small barrier of being consistently treated differently based only on your professional attire could do the opposite.

    Our bouffant caps in way up northern Canada were green OR material like the skull caps.so our one long haired surgeon wore that and the 2 bald ones wore the skull caps and the female anesthetist with short hair wore the skull cap too. Us Nurses wore bouffants in green.Hated when the polka dot patterns and daisys came out, look like little house on the prairie in the OR.

    I always wore a hood and sweat band or tape to secure the front of the hood to my forehead. Why? Because it covered more skin and hair. Simple. If covering skin and hair is good, covering more of it is unlikely to be bad. I can reflect on a particular operation that I used to do for which national statistics indicated an infection rate of up to 9.5% I stopped counting at 1000 cases and had NO infections. Of course, I was a fanatic about aseptic technique and pt. prep. Minor alterations to what is often done in ORs can result in dramatically lower risks of infection.

    Frankly as a woman (not in medicine) I’m sure the bias is pervasive everywhere but I think mindset is the issue not the clothing. I wouldn’t love it if my job said everyone must wear a button up and pants. If I want to wear a dress or skirt then I can. We need to change how people think not what they wear. If a surgeon operating on me is more comfortable in a skull cap and it’s not dirty than let him. I care about living not about his hat.

      What if you walk into an op and you find that the surgeon is a female indicated by her clothing.. ok it's not common but what's the problem?? just carry on as normal..
      I see that we have a potential problem in the imbalance between women and men in becoming surgeons, but I don't see how gender normative clothing contributes to that issue.
      I have no experience in the op and so I can't imagine how that could be an issue, but I'm happy to be enlightened...

      @jazzycrescendo9465 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@daniaawni5180 I'm not in the medical field myself, but I imagine it's because the gendered clothing creates a visual hierarchy of sorts. Because women typically have to wear the larger hat while men typically don't, the hats immediately visually highlight the extreme skew in gender-it is immediately obvious visually that the one "in charge" (the surgeon) is male while those who aren't as "high" of a rank in the OR are women. That visual hierarchy with the hats then serves to reinforce people's stereotypes on who plays what roles in the OR, and does so in a way that places women in a more "subordinate" position. This could actually have a large impact, because whether we realize it or not, those types of images seep into "who" we think can fulfill certain roles. There are actually a lot of social psychology studies that have investigated that very topic (including using imagery actually from the medical field).
      Likewise, it could potentially feel female surgeons feel uncomfortable. Since I'm not in the medical field, I don't know if this would be the case or not, but let's say female surgeons wear the same or very similar uniforms to the nurses (including the hat). How many of their colleagues (particularly male surgeons) might assume those female surgeons are nurses when they actually aren't? I couldn't say for sure if this happens, but at the very least, it's certainly plausible. Perhaps that sort of thing is not enough to stop someone from entering the field, but if that were to happen, it would feel very degrading because to some it might feel like their male counterparts don't respect them. If there was no difference in what men and women wore though, you wouldn't have that problem.

    Theyre also used to be a tradition of not washing hands in hospitals well unless a tradition and more of they just didn't do it and then there was pushback whenever doctors were told to wash their hands especially whenever they were doing surgery. And now every doctor and surgeon out there knows that especially when doing surgery that if they don't wash their hands they could definitely be fired and they're okay with that if they're not fired they would at least get a reprimand and they're okay with that so basically they're just like every other human and they are afraid of change especially change that puts them on an even ground with people that they see as inferior even if it's just subconsciously

    One of the only Dr G. reaction videos that takes the comedy seriously, no laughing along with the characterizations or the poking fun at his own specialty. Frankly it sounds like the doc is sort of defensive, and less entertained...which reinforces the surgeon stereotype. I have seen other docs react more good-naturedly and laugh along. While I learned about table positions and head coverings, it was too much (and which I had already googled anyway) of this video IMHO. 3 stars.

  • @uinsel

    in the beginning you asked what people liked about your reaction videos.
    what I like is that - as a non med person from a different continent - I get information about medical puns I do not understand or that might not happen in my country. all doctors in my family are non-patient-doctors, from hygiene/microbiology or pathology so what I usually hear is "do not eat that, go wash your hands".
    especially good advice if you can not distinguish between noodles and parasites that are just for storage in the fridge.
    so for me, everything in ORs is a mystery between anesthesia and the wake-up room ;)
    however, as a non-native to English I would really appreciate if you formed many words more clearly and talked a bit more slowly - would make it easier to listen to you, would you do that for us non-US-people please? :)

    Fyi Doc,
    I have a Master's Degree in Counseling and promptly recognized the dynamics of hospitals matching the criteria for "Addictive Family Dynamics".
    The Surgeons (often character disordered - narcissistic men) are the alcoholic/addict, a person with infantile psychological development.
    Female nurses can be flaming Codependents/ enablers, often because they have romantic and/or sexual attachments with the powerful Docs, which makes them feel powerful / important.
    The patients?
    Well they are obviously the scapegoated "identified patient".
    IF something "went wrong" it's ALL their fault!!!
    Also, 15% of healthcare workers are chemically dependent!!!
    I had an experience in a top 20 hospital in the USA.
    My friend was admitted for a gastro surgery, thru the ED, the following morning.
    She was scheduled for 8:30 and I was directed to be there at 6:30 am as her support person. Then the (narcissistic) surgeon says the dreaded words: "tomorrow is my birthday".
    Why are those words "dreaded"?
    Well in my experience the narcissist's inner child wants to feel "really, REALLY special", not just every day but ESPECIALLY on their birthday.
    That typically means lots of sexual activity for them ESPECIALLY first thing in the am.
    I ask the surgeon "do you want to bump it back to later"?
    He says "no, I'll make it".
    I arrive at 6:30 am to my friends room.
    We are anxiously awaiting her to be transported to pre-op...and no one comes.
    For hours.
    Except the lying nurse.
    At first the nurse says "we're going to be a little late".
    Later this Codependent nurse starts to insist "the patient doesn't have a scheduled OR time". ( Really? How do you think surgery order is decided?!?
    Throwing dice?)
    Finally, we were told "that pre-op has been REALLY busy".
    See how she LIES to protect the surgeon/alcoholic/addict?!?
    Not once, but multiple times?
    Finally, at noon were taken to pre- op.
    I casually ask "has it been busy down here today".
    "No. It's been kind of slow".
    Next I'm taken to a waiting area and check in. The woman at the desk says "we were expecting you at 8:30".
    (Yeah, I know, but you just confirmed it.)
    Following the surgery, the surgeon reports "it all went well, she's doing fine"..."any other questions"?
    Yeah.
    How come the surgery got started so late?
    Well you'd think I accused the man of being drunk while performing surgery...he used all of the air one narcissist could muster and willed me into silence.
    "I'm NOT going to talk about that".
    I imagine you're not.
    So what do you do IF you are in a similar position?
    You write up the experiences, the names of the personnel, their position, witnesses present, and date and approximate time...then email or FAX it to the hospital administrator. For good measure you can send a hard copy via registered mail.
    Every act I identified is a potential LIABILITY issue for the hospital. A good administrator will thank you.

    I definitely wear a skull cap whenever one is available. The bouffants have so much extra fluff and space. The tactile feel of being able to secure the cap and feel it snug around my head is a better feel. Why are men no longer able to have something unique to themselves? If a woman wants to wear a skull cap, fine, let them cut their hair. To add to that, what is wrong with having gendered clothing? Just because men and women are different, it doesn't mean they are unequal. We shouldn't be afraid to make something like hair length a divisive issue.

    You know what strikes me most about the cap issue and there having been pushback? Seriously, what in the heavens had the overwhelmingly male staff push back at this at all, if not misogyny and their personal struggle to consider anything like patient safety or gender neutrality. It seems like their own comfort and misogyny based pride (aka not wanting "cute" caps that are typically worn by women) was more important than anything else. And that's unfortunately typical and quite disappointing :/ I can't imagine even pondering making a ruckus about a change in caps that countless of colleagues wear without issues. 🤦‍♀️

    To be fair there are still quite a many conservatives who are surgeons I know this because I've had a few surgeries myself and at least in South Carolina a majority of them were extremely conservative and I could tell this by the conversation I had with them in the few moments I had to talk with them by making certain statements and a couple of them even making inappropriate comments about my long hair which were just enough of a joke to not get them fired while also being just serious enough for me to understand that they don't even realize that Jesus had long hair or Samson in the Bible got his power from his long hair or one of the many other people in their cult book yes it's a cult not a religion because religion does not exist however back to the point I could tell that from that and other short-handed comments they made that they were conservatives however I knew that they were the only ones available and if I wanted my appendix removed in time then you know I had to do with what I got and whenever I had my jaw broken and I had the appointment set and did not meet the surgeon until the day of the surgery I knew I couldn't really reschedule the appointment and walk around with an Ace bandage holding my jaw in place for another week.

    In OR I work at at least, the vast majority of our staff wears cloth scrub caps. The women will wear ponytail caps, skull caps, euro styles, etc. and most all of the males will wear a skull cap. I’ve never personally thought that it was a gender thing- if anything we all have found caps that encompass each of our individual personalities. Complimenting each others caps throughout the day is common place! Even poking fun at the surgeon wearing their favorite sports team that lost the night before. Perhaps it’s because my hospital does not have gender specific or really any policy on what caps we wear besides them not having offensive language or imagery. In fact, most everyone chooses to not wear the provided disposable caps because we think they make us look silly. It was very interesting to hear about the issue revolving caps and their interesting implications of unity and fairness in the OR. It makes me feel lucky that in my hospital caps are seen as personality pieces rather than gender/ importance factors. Love the reaction!

    A similar gender normative debate is currently happening in Australia, though for us its gender specific titles. As you know Mr. has been the preferred title for a male surgeon since surgery emerged as a profession in the UK. Female surgeons tend to go by Dr. as opposed to Mrs/Ms (though they can go by either) and have contended that Mr. is in fact sexist (though I don't find that argument particularly persuasive).
    The original argument used to try and force everyone into going by Dr. was that it was worsening patient outcomes due to increased anxiety/stress due to confusion of not knowing if their surgeon was a real doctor (a ludicrous assertion). It was then quickly revealed that administrators and some female surgeons didn't like that males had their own title, now it is looking like the RACS is going to adopt the elimination of gender specific titles.

      @@RichHilsden At least half of surgeons (more in private, less in public sectors) here go by Mr., Australia is a hugely diverse medical community, to completely spitball I'd say 10% of our doctors (mostly specialists) are from India and Pakistan and 15% are from the UK (they bring their traditions, Mr. is also the tradition for local Australian surgeons), since we all share the same 5-6 year MBBS/BMBCh training programs and JMO -> RMO -> Registrar -> fellow -> consultant pathways, so IMG accreditation isn't as complicated. The difference is since Australia is a semi-privatised medical industry, specialist consultants here still earn upwards of $600,000, so we have many IMGs from the UK migrate here to escape NHS compensation.
      It's definitely been problematic in the eyes of some for a long time, however, in the last few years those concerns have turned into actions, to the point its likely the Mr. title will be entirely banned for public sector surgeons (possible even private through the college) within the next year or two.

    The root of the gender based clothing issue is placed squarely on the idea that any role in the operating room matters more or less than any other.
    No nurse? No surgery. No surgeon? No surgery. No cleaning staff? No surgery. No orderly? No surgery.
    Zooming out to a societal level of magnification of gender issues, all of society suffers from this idea that some roles matter more than others, granted, maybe a single president of the United States is more important overall to a single trauma surgeon, but are all presidents more important than all trauma surgeons? Remove one category hypothetically, then the other, tell me what society looks like without one or the other.
    Additionally the idea that only women have long hair and only men have short hair, is gender bias in and of itself.

    Yeah no offense but I'm pretty sure the push-back against the unisex hair coverings had very little to do with the science given that most opinions I've seen on the matter mostly talk about how it's traditional and cool.
    That being said, if the material is the issue, why not just change the buffon caps to reusable cloth ones?
    Especially since they also tested disposable skullcaps and found that they had no discernable difference to the disposable bouffant caps, that's a heavy indicator that in this case the difference lies in the material.
    For that matter I'm surprised they didn't try to test a reusable cloth equivalent. That does suggest to me a bit of bias in the study set-up towards keeping the status quo.

Why is this affecting... What is it affecting? All I care is that all genders are treated without a care for their genders unless it directly affects things. The jobs they choose is their own choice. If you're proposing people to wear unisex clothing at work places does that actually change any gender discrimination? Does it deal with the root cause?
