Would you marry a female MD?

nursemedic78 · Apr 5, 2008

...she'd have to be pretty hot. After a few years on the job of dealing with the grumpy old sexist bastards that they are forced to call colleagues, most female MDs end up with the personality of a used sheet of sandpaper.

Thats just sick, unless you swing that way (no offense to those who do, but just not for me).

LOL first you state it is "sick" and then you state "no offense"....Im not quite buying it.

I guess I think that in 2008, humanity in general shouldnt have as much of a problem with sexuality as they do. Especially for men in nursing, which I think is awesome because it takes a strong man to be able to handle a female-dominated profession (and vice versa), so I just get disheartened when I hear the word "sick" in association with sexuality, especially being gay.

I love gay men, and I love straight men. Hell I just love men.

Okay, I had to get my 3 cents in.

I will get my XX chromosome outtie.

I am a trophy husband. She got me just before she went to school and still can't do any better.

Oh boy, do we have to go here? If you read what this was in context to, you would see that this was just a comment. Nothing that should be taken with more than a grain of salt. I have no problem with homosexuals of any race, sex, or creed, but simply feel that sexuality should be kept out of the workplace. If you are going to bring it up, that's fine, but some of us (perhaps just myself) do have a comical side, and after a long days work, have to release some of my fury, in a slightly comical way.

No harm meant, ever!

There's a male nurse/female doctor marriage at the hospital where I work. I don't know how long they have been married but they are middle-aged and have no children.

I get ya.

Honestly, you will never find someone who enjoys humor more than myself, but not at the expense of a group of people.

Sexuality in the workplace, ew gross. Same goes for us 'straight' people, right?

But being sexual isnt the same as sexuality. Our sexuality is something we have no control over, so how can we take it 'out of the work place'. You cant take your sexuality out of the work place, its part of you, part of your essence.

A lot of men have issues with 'sexuality' because they are afraid if a gay man comes on to them, it might "turn" them around, but its no different if a gay guy comes onto you then if some women whom you dont find attractive comes onto you, different strokes for different folks.

I actually could not care about "sexuality" in the workplace....because you cant take it out, its impossible, its part of being human being. Otherwise please tell all men in the work force (and all women) that they must refrain from flirting, as that could be misconstrued as belonging in the sexuality category.

I dont mean to turn this into semantics, but seriously Im soooo over society making remarks about gay people. Its a little 1995.

Sorry, didnt mean to personally come at you, truce? :mad:

Truce...

Fellas,

long beefore I became a Christian, I was working as a medic. I remember dropping a pt off in the ER and standing at the counter filling out my ambulance report. I happened to look up and the female ER doc, who happened to be really young and good looking was standing over the other side of the counter, bent over talking on the phone. I did not set out to see this, but she was not wearing a bra and I tell you what, I would have married her right there. Now, in honor of both my wife and my God, I would turn my head, but back then....

I dont think wearing a bra or not is a moral issue

I dont think wearing a bra or not is a moral issue

I believe the moral issue was in the observing--or rather, continuing to observe--the exposed state of bralessness.

I further believe that the extent of my own moral integrity is that I would have the decency to feel guilty about it, later. But I'm probably giving myself too much credit.

climbsurf1 · May 29, 2008

I must agree that the guilt would pass very quickly or never come at all. Why not marry a lady who happens to be a Doc. If nothing else she prob has a good work ethic and may be of decent morals. As far as the braless issue goes, I do believe that being observant is a good trait for a professional nurse. Strong work fellas.

Why does any profession matter?

You marry for love, money or something physical.

The 1st sets you up for life; the other 2 set you up for divorce.

Good luck,

Mark
