"Patients don't like medical students, they like 'trainee doctors'."

'LONDON (Reuters) - Patients reluctant to have a medical student sit in on their consultation are less worried if the student is introduced as a "trainee" instead, a doctor wrote on Friday in Britain's leading medical journal.

Patients are much more willing to accept the presence of a "trainee doctor" or even a "student doctor" than a "medical student," Hany George El-Sayeh wrote in the British Medical Journal.

He said patients feared they would be seen by a scruffy, disinterested youth who might later report their intimacies in the bar. Describing a student as a trainee doctor would also heighten the youngster's esteem, he added. But trainees themselves ought to counter stereotypes by making a greater effort to appear interested, smart and punctual, he said.'




If I ever open up a General practice, I'm going to make all the possible patients do an IQ test first.

You simply can't escape the fact that a doctor sees someone with 3 balls, everyone will know about it with 2 days. Whether he's a first year med student or a 50 year old doctor.

In a filtered sense.

No, it’s just that you have to realise some things in life shouldn’t be made light of.

In my opinion child abuse and rape are two of those things. I guess I’m just funny that way.

Not to be confused with my head on a palate....which is much better. Heh.

Arrgh. Mate, you've seriously got to lighten up a notch. This is just the internet, and teenagers, this isn't real life.


Man, I bet you can't even understand the concept of rude jokes...

Yow, that's nasty!!

I find it very strange to see a sentence with the words, “comedy”, and, “rape”, in it.

Oh, it was just a 'comedy rape'. As in 'I'll rape you of your high score at Sensi soccer' and such.
