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.

      Another recommendation for Adam on the Dartmouth Road. Have been going there for years. I will never go anywhere else (unless I move home to somewhere far away!) No faff, very reasonal price and nice atmosphere 👍

      Do air purifiers work?

      By kh71 · Posted

      Thanks so much I’ll try that too… might still try getting hold of an air purifier as well if at all possible - want to try cover all bases!

      The 185 is often the same. But that's why buses sometimes (and annoyingly) stop to "regulate the service". To be fair, it's often due to traffic conditions. If there is not much traffic, the one behind catches up with the one in front.

      I imagine this is because of the average  additional time involved, due to the styles. You could have asked the reason? I will ask, next time I'm in there.  Many salons have this differential pricing.
