I want to be a nurse when I finish college. I'm currently a senior in high school. I have 5 more years until I graduate college/ become a nurse. I already have 4 piercings on my ears. I want 3 more (second lobes and 1 more cartilage (helix)). Is it frown upon that I will have 7 piercings or should I stop? I also want a tattoo on my finger (not sure about it, but the size will be smaller than a quarter). But is it acceptable tho?
I know for a fact that he doesn't have any tattoos, he doesn't approve of them either, but when the people interview for a position, and have them covered, he can't ask if they have any tattoos or piercings. He usually finds this out, plus more, after they are hired. His wife has the same view I do on tattoos, we've had this discussion over many dinners out together.
Still doesn't explain your statement of how you expect to catch Hepatitis from staff with healed tattoos or why they can't touch you. If you go to the ER, you surely don't know if any of the staff treating you have tattoos that you can't see. I've never, ever heard of anyone discussing personal views on tattoos with their personal MD. This is related to your medical care how?
What in the world? How do you know if your MD has a tattoo on his shoulder or chest underneath his labcoat? Surely you're letting him touch you...

I am at the point that I wonder if this is for real or some elaborate play.
Really, there is so much more crucial issues in the world.
But, heck it is the internet and everyone gets their 5 minutes.

Peace out!
Right. What kind of doctor goes out to dinner with his patient to discuss personal views on tattoos? Apparently he has issues with tattoos AND with professional boundaries.
I've decided I'm totally okay with wearing long sleeves under my scrubs and I'm starting to design sleeves for myself. I'm a tatted and pierced girl at heart. Not sure why I'm sharing that now, here, but I figured this might be the place for it. lol

He's an excellent doctor. Why can't our doctor go out to dinner with us? With him being a concierge MD, he knows us better than a traditional MD. As I mentioned, we have gone to his children's weddings and he will be invited to our weddings. He has many friends that he takes care of. We are not numbers to him, we are patients, friends, family. Rather have a doctor who we can drink with, laugh with, have a conversation with than one who thinks he/she is better than us. We are more comfortable with him. We talk about a lot of different topics. His wife is a delight and we are friends. His children are friends with our children. The OB who we went to for infertility many years ago is our son's Godfather. Comes to family functions, etc. There shouldn't be a glass wall between a physician and a patient.
I'm looking for a micro practice provider (aka concierge medicine) because I like the practice model...but not if it means having to socialize with that person and listening to them criticize other people.

Actually, there should be. It's called professional boundaries. And what you just described crosses the line in so many ways.
