I don't want to seem like I've had a total sense of humour failure, because actaully your first post did make me laugh, but it is a bit of a dated stereotype to think that a doctor can't be a fashionable woman with a personality.

Sadly, it still surprises people of all ages and backgrounds when their doctor is a young woman and I still get called nurse every day. Although your nickname is lighthearted it does reflect the belief that doctors have to be stuffy men in suits.

I don't dress glamourously for work, it wouldn't really be appropriate for the area I work in, but I'd like to think I have a personality. I certainly know and work with lots of dynamic, fashionable, charismatic and interesting women who also happen to be doctors.

Annaj, it is very true that people are surprised to see a young dynamic woman working as a doctor. I should know better than to quip about it. I used to work as an accountant in the city, and was often faced with surprised looks from people who had assumed I was a PA - so it happens in other industries too.

;-)


I'll stick to being an ex-accountant, now Mum, who must admit to feeling more than slightly jealous when faced with the lovely Dr Anu looking fabulous while I sit covered in baby sick/food, wearing whatever clothes I picked up off the floor that morning, looking like I've been dragged through a hedge backwards. Sigh.

Oh dear, serious wire crossing giggirl.

I don't work at DMC and I'm certainly not the fabulously glamourous Dr Bhatia. I work in a not very glamourous hospital far enough away from ED that I'm not likely to ever encounter any forumites.

I was just making the point that it shouldn't really be a surprise to find a female doctor who is also fashionable and has a personality.

    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.   
    • Everyone gets the point that Corbynites try to make with the "total number of votes cast" statistic, it's just a specious one.  In 2017, Corbyn's Labour got fewer votes than May's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes). In 2019, Corbyn's Labour fewer votes than Johnson's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes); and he managed to drop 2.7 million votes or 6.9% of vote share between the two elections. I repeat, he got trounced by Boris F***ing Johnson and the Tories after the Brexit omnishambles. It is not true that a "fairer" electoral system would have seen Labour beat the Tories: Labour simply got fewer votes than the Tories. Corbyn lost twice. There is no metric by which he won the general election. His failure to win was a disaster for the UK, and let Johnson and Truss and Sunak into office. Corbynites have to let go of this delusion that Corbyn but really won somehow if you squint in a certain way. It is completely irrelevant that Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer. It is like saying Hull City was more successful in its 2014 FA Cup Final than Chelsea was in its 2018 FA Cup Final, because Hull scored 2 goals when Chelsea only scored 1. But guess what - Chelsea won its game and Hull City lost. Corbyn's fans turned out to vote for him - but an even larger group of people who found him repellant were motivated enough to show up and vote Tory.
