Do anesthesiologists wear wedding rings at work?

[serenmoon]

Trying to figure out if this cute 'MDA' is single or maybe just can't wear his ring at work? Is there some occupational reason for you guys to leave your wedding rings at home? Help me out! 🙂

I wore my ring on my anesthesia rotation, took it off on my surgery rotations. Reason being there aren't really any truly "sterile" procedures in anesthesia. The closest you'd get is a central line, I guess, and you still don't scrub for those, just put on a sterile gown and gloves.

Haha, and I wouldn't recommend calling people "MDA"s on this board... 🙂

At Work, I prefer to not wear anything on my arms, below the elbow. I don't like the idea of getting nasty stuff caught under my ring or watch and unwittingly bringing it home with me. If I wear a white coat, I roll the sleeves up to the mid forearm.

Maybe I am a little paranoid.

Why don't you just start talking to him about where he is from, where he trained, if he is traveling to be with family for Thanksgiving or Christmas. He will let you know.

I don't wear mine. I'm taking gloves off & on all day, and I know it'll end up in the trash (accidentally, of course). Had some people say I should wear it since they didn't know my status. Maybe that was a compliment 😀

 

[coprolalia]

Everyone assumes I'm married. I take it as a compliment.

-copro, "MDA" (who is responding to obvious troll-baiting by a first-time poster who is likely a CRNA, and not even a chick at that, but who would probably still like to suck my **** anyway)

If I happen to squeeze out the door one day without it, my wife promptly replaces it as soon as I return home.

took it off on my surgery rotations

Oh, is that right?












Can't say I blame you. Some of those circulating nurses are hot.

 

[Leverage]

wear my ring everyday.

 

[Leverage]

You must work at the VA.

I had this discussion with my wife after I lost my ring in L&D. I was going from room to room placing epidurals, must have slipped off with the gloves. I went to the nursing station to see if they had seen it. One replied "Yea i noticed you had it on in room 5 but not on in room 7" 😎 Half the dept. help me dig through afterbirth looking for the thing with no luck. After telling the wife the story I told her i wouldnt wear the new ring at work to avoid this fiasco. "Wait",says wife,"You have nurses following you from room to room!" Im on ring number 3 now,

Hey guys,

He has slim fingers so maybe it kept coming off with his gloves as some of you have reported. I was watching a procedure yesterday and the anesthesiologist wasn't wearing a ring either, so that's why I asked if it was standard in the speciality. Maybe they're all divorced at my hospital (or after the nurses)! Thanks for the responses, I appreciate it!

And no, I am not male/troll/CRNA (what motivation would they even have to start such a thread, lol?).

Or...single?

I dunno.... to refer to us "MDA" to our face and, at the same time, suggest that we're all philandering a-holes not really interested in taking care of our patients but instead chasing after hottie-nurses.

Post a picture of yourself, preferably topless, to prove me wrong. 👍

OR... Taking you at face value and... better yet...

What are you? Twelve?

Why don't you just go up and ask him if he's married or has a girlfriend? There's no bigger turn-on and ego boost for a guy, and it makes it perfectly and completely obvious that you want to smoke his pole. If you're remotely attractive and he's neither of the above (nor gay), then you'll probably get lucky. And, if he is gay, you've got a new girlfriend.

That's golden advice. If you don't use it, I'll assume that you've got some sort of defect... again, you can always post that picture to prove me wrong. 😉

Copro, First of all, I used the term 'MDA' in jest, actually that terminology is not even used where I am from. I never suggested you were philanderers. If you read the thread, you will clearly see it was the jokes made by your colleagues that suggested that. I was merely asking about occupational factors.

About the topless pic, are you sure you're not twelve?

Actually, no.

Or, is it that you won't post one because the balcony is empty?

Actually it's far from empty, almost embarrassingly so.

Why don't you post a pic of what you're packing, let's see if you've actually gone through puberty...lol.

long time reader here.
you chastise others for their lack of tact in choosing words such as MDA. you discuss how insulting that is and seem very opinionated on what it means to be respectful to the field and yet you chide another responder into the only way of assuming she's not a troll and a respectable poster is for her (I presume you presume she's a "her") to post a topless pictures of her.

As a woman and future anesthesiologist, I find that pretty offensive. I side with sermon, please post a bottomless pic of your goods. in other words, put your money where your mouth is for once! and next time when I don't believe the sincerity of your words - the only way you are allowed to substantiate them is by the aforementioned posting of your "goods"

we need to know that you're a "real" man. although your comments are exceedingly prepubescent in tone..... just letting you know.

nola

If you are seriously offended by an internet post, especially Copros, you need to take a chill pill. He was clearly joking. You live in New Orleans for crying out loud. Go to Bourbon Street and get a Hand Grenade and show your titties.

I agree with you, it's best not to let Copro get to you. Some people just like to ruffle feathers for whatever reason. Your reaction is what he's going for.

That said, I disagree with the argument that internet posts can't be offensive. Just because it's the internet doesn't mean you're free to make statements with impunity. Someone couldn't make a hateful or threatening racist or religious remark and write it off as "joking." The question is, has sexism moved into that category? I don't know. It has definitely been tolerated in our culture forever, but that also doesn't mean that it's OK. I do commend nola and sermonmoon for calling Copro out, though. However, I would prefer that he not take them up on the challenge...

 

[nellinola]

I not seriously *offended* - as in getting all femi-nazi....I just laugh after reading so many of his very opinionated responses where the only way someone(i.e some presumed girl) can legitimize themselves as not a troll is by showing him that they're hot or are nicely stacked. you know he doesn't talk to his female colleagues like that in person. i just felt the need to call him out....as a non-troll/non-crna, female with breasts

as yes i live in nola....but locals do not spend their time on bourbon showing their titties as so eloquently put.

with all that said, the original question was a little bit silly.

No, that would be posting a pic of where HER mouth is!!!


(too easy, and it beats the auto-fellatio joke I was working on)

 

[serenmoon]

I have to say, I am impressed with the number of responses this thread has elicited. Keep it coming! Would love some more actual responses to the original question 🙂.

 

[error404]

I wear a ring. Of course, my husband was thoughtful enough to get the stone inset, so it never tears through my gloves.

I can't get him to wear one. I actually didn't get him a ring for the ceremony, just because the idea of getting him one that he *wouldn't* wear seemed odd.

His reasoning? He likes being able to flirt with other chicks without feeling guilty. At least he's honest... I would have thought he'd pull the "surgeon" card.

Oh, and I'd also like this thread full of pictures of people's junk. Not because there's anything to prove, but just because I've been on SDN a while without that happening, and it seems like an interesting change.

Okay, now you definitely have to send me a pic. I'm at half-chub.

Listen, honey, I'm calling the shots here. Send me a picture of that sizzle chest and we'll see what happens next.
