I walked out the side door of my school and saw a lady standing on the air intake vents smoking.
It pisses me off when Doc's smoke
The patient can't tell that you're a smoker. Keeping a straight face would be easy.
wanna bet? they can smell it immediately when you walk into that itty bitty examining room that you're a smoker.
i certainly wouldn't take a doctor very seriously if i could smell smoke on him/her.
There sure are some judgmental mo-fo's in here. I find it humorous how 90% of us will have no problem with a marijuana post on 4/20, but GOD FORBID a med student or doc have a cigarette every now and then...
I mean, we treat alcoholics and drug addicts with more respect than cigarette smokers. This thread makes me want to light one up...

Yeh, because smoking would really prevent your IM from properly performing your prostate exam. Hell, he probably wouldn't even be able to correctly prescribe your anti-hypertensive refills or interpret the cause of your elevated liver enzymes (12 pack a day? no problem!). What a quack. And don't even get me started with the dermatologists. If they smoked, I wouldn't trust them to distinguish a melanoma from a pimple, let alone snip that annoying skin tag off of my arm-pit.
No, it wouldn't prevent any of these things, but if the doctor even BEGAN opening their mouth about how someone should quite smoking, they will look like a tool.
