Has anyone seen tit? First I thought it was about nurses. There was a smiling elderly man in a scrub gently handing a baby over to a new mother, as soft background music played. Then I thought something was weird. The man was older - much older statistically than an average male nurse. Turns out, it's a doctor. A doctor! I've NEVER seen a doctor hand over a baby. I have nothing against doctors in general, with all that economic/work backlash against nurses, one of the only thing it seems, that we can still possess and identify with is our bedside care and compassion we give our patients - and this ad just bothers me because it's elbows the last shred of territory we call our own. Not because doctors are not allowed to do something like hand over a baby for the first time, but because they simply don't!
And the fact that they used someone that's demographically less likely to be a nurse, I think is intentional, and evident that they realize how people could immediately identify that gesture as belonging to a nurse. If it had been a woman or a less elderly man, you would think it's ad from the nursing association.
Has anyone seen this ad? What do you think, am I crazy?
