Registered surgeons - men and women - were invited to take part completely anonymously and 1,434 responded. Half were women:

63% of women had been the target of sexual harassment from colleagues 30% of women had been sexually assaulted by a colleague 11% of women reported forced physical contact related to career opportunities At least 11 incidents of rape were reported 90% of women, and 81% of men, had witnessed some form of sexual misconduct

The 81% men stat, that’s emblematic that this isn’t being overstated. Sounds like a real shitshow. I’m not suggesting that men are more credible. Only that they’re less-likely to report the issue. If four out of five will admit that there’s a problem, holy shit. There’s a problem.

Wtf is going on in the UK, especially in the medical space?

Daddies are trying to discredit NHS in public eyes so they can defund it and privatize it.

[-] some_guy 7 points 10 months ago

That’s interesting context that I wonder about regarding accuracy. Definitely an interesting supposition that will stick with me.

Difference between a conspiracy theory and fact can be about 6 months, sometimes.

I like this phrase. This is mine now. I'm going to go use it in conversations with people with the explicit purpose being to condescend.

Question: Why do they refer to the surgery area as a theatre? Is it for entertainment purposes?

Maybe I'm an idiot, but I thought 'theatre' was for entertainment and surgery room was for medical surgery...

[-] Mannivu@feddit.it 21 points 10 months ago

I think that's because there were surgery rooms where students can watch operations from above

[-] over_clox@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

You're probably right. So indeed it's for entertainment. Gotcha.

[-] teddy-bonkerz@kbin.social 8 points 10 months ago

I believe it was for education, not entertainment (though some procedures may have been entertaining, or at least interesting, to watch)

[-] gullible@kbin.social 5 points 10 months ago

Surgery used to be, essentially, a speedrun. Sanitation and anaesthesia were near nonexistent so opening and closing as quickly as possible would markedly improve mortality rates. Appendix% was a popular watch.

Theatre has two meanings (it seems), one of them being "a room or hall for lectures with seats in tiers". The idea is that above the "centre stage" there would be seating for other doctors to watch the surgery for education/research purposes.

Interesting. Welp, bet the guys in the top balcony didn't get to see much detail...

Did the patient in the photo live at least?

[-] Norgur@kbin.social 2 points 10 months ago

Well,.chances are a solid "meh"

[-] thefartographer@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

Yeah, in fact the Jr. Mint saved their life.

[-] turtlepower@lemm.ee 5 points 10 months ago

Ever heard of a "theater of war?"

[-] thefartographer@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

No, could you be more Pacific in your reference? Explain it real simple, my level of comprehension has its Nimitz.

[-] over_clox@lemmy.world -5 points 10 months ago

Yes. Romans considered that as entertainment.

From the title, I immediately assumed it was the patient being whacked on on anesthesia drugs. Didn't even consider the doctors or other nurses. Damn... Do I have that thing where I just naturally trust figures of authority? 🤔
