Professionalism on Rotations-To pull or not to pull

[JP2740]

---

Members do not see this ad.

So there's this attractive health professional student in a different field (not medicine) on my rotation right now. We talk whatever when there's down time so I got to know her pretty well and her me. Is there some sort of professionalism issue here about getting that number or no? I feel kinda lame asking but I think it's a legit question. I wouldn't actually take her out until after rotation is over end of august.

What is the meaning of "pull"?

 

[JP2740]

I don't use the word IRL, but it was a catchy phrase to put in the title. You obviously know nothing of the art of thread making and will make a poor doctor. I boast many 30+ page threads on this forum. I demand respect from you.

p.s. it's from "pulling a chick" you get it? Like when you get a chick's number at the bar, you "pulled" her

I just assumed you meant pull out, in which case the answer will always be yes.

There is no professionalism issue as long as you don't make a scene about it. Also, man up.

 

[PrideNeverDie]

if ur using the term pull, you are a virgin who read some PUA material. don't do it. you are going to make a fool out of yourself.

for the rest of you, just remember ur ABCs. Always. Be. Closing.

It was meant to be a PUA joke. But the thread in general is a serious question lol

No numbers

(except for the call room door code)

Give her the baby's arm.

Nice. I will man up sir. It shouldn't be a problem unless she really doesn't dig me as we do quite a lot on the same team without the residents around.

If your hospital is anything like the one where I work, four other dudes have already tried tapping that in the call room. You gotta hop on that like free jello!

But seriously, just ask her out. There's no code that says you can't, especially if she's in a different field. It will, however, make life awkward around the wards if she turns you down...

The only issue to avoid if possible is the evaluation situation where either your writing an eval as a supervisor or you're being evaluated as a supervisee. Other than that, you should probably take any open shot you have from here on out. We're a lot less attractive than we imagine to outsiders, we're not very healthy on average, night call does exactly put a glow on you, we're too tired too much, and we spend all our time around each other. No need to be ruling things out for no reason.

okay let me teach you a little about sexual harrassment and women in general

sexual harrassment has nothing to do with the action, but how the act was perceived by the woman

if brad pitt or george clooney whipped out their penis and told her to suck him off, she would later go home and tweet "omg a guy did the sweetest thing to me today!"

if an ugly virgin smiled at her in the hallway, she would tweet "omg why are guys so creepy!"

so the real issue is ... are you confident and good looking enough to pull it off?

in b4 delusional females pretend this isn't how the real world works

That's true. Anybody who makes such a thread is clearly looking to justify why he got rejected by a girl. Must be "professionalism".

That's an astute point.

You're right, this could go very badly.

I think I'd like to withdraw my comment in light of this gentleman's excellent argument that handing over a self-injurious notion to an unknown recipient is a real possibility.

This. Also, I'd recommend taking the rest of your rotation time to keep getting to know her & seeing if your chemistry keeps getting better or just fizzles. If it keeps getting better, then during your (or her) last week of rotation, I'd get her number at that time. Then, go out on dates when you guys aren't on that rotation anymore.

That's what I did while doing rotations in grad school and it worked well.

If she's not interested she'll want to stop you before you ask.

Yes. Therein lies the danger that pride alludes to. Without the requisite tact and intuition you run the risk of creeping out a colleague. And the possibility of rejection compounded with a professionalism allegation.

For The Todds among us this could be dangerous.

Well don't hit her with bedroom talk. "Wanna come over and play bend over and grab your ankles" is probably best saved for later. People without the awareness to know this WILL be deemed creepy.

JP, you tell her how big your Step 1 score is?

She's already not spending enough time in the kitchen. I say pass and move on to a better prospect.

 

[Arbor Vitae]

pull, can you make a pull poll?

 

[madchemist89]

Go for it, but you have to post the results.

lmao. i will.

the second u thought about making a thread on SDN about this was the same second you decided to Never. Be. Closing.

 

[evilbooyaa]

Good lord JP I figured you would literally be the last person (besides PrideNeverDie) to make a thread about something like this.

You like her, maybe she likes you, won't know till you nut up or shut up. Ask her out, it's not a professionalism violation unless you guys are banging on the table during rounds or if it's an attending/resident that is evaluating you. If it is someone who will be evaluating you, you have to report it and then that person won't be allowed to evaluate you. That is all.

Taking dating advice from SDN is like taking lifting advice from the 120 lb know-it-all fourteen year old kids on bodybuilding.com.

 

[targ489]

This whole thread, quite difficult to keep from laughing hysterically in the library.

 

[Kahreek]

i would say it would be better to not pull it off.
It is easier to build a castle of cards than trying to keep it from falling.

edit: sorry i didnt read the thread before replying, i though this was about getting honors in a rotation, through a profissional persona kind of look.

lol I know. I never said I wouldn't do it anyway, but I do admit I was still curious about people's answers.....



and I knew it would be a funny thread.

"pulling" is more of a college term, like you went out for drinks or a party and you "pulled some chicks" back home for the after party, at least to me and my friends it always meant to bring girls back with us after we went somewhere.

And here I was assuming OP meant 'pull the trigger' aka man up and ask her out! I think I like that interpretation better...never heard the other one, and it doesn't seem to fit the situation he described very well.

 

[CDI]

What places use the term "pull" anyways. Never once heard that in high school or college. Must be regional.

Whatever happen to plain old "FBGM."

It's a British term. Socal people may use it now but it started across the pond.

just lost it @ the AV.

completely aware. we both know that OP is ph*****, but we all gona make it brah

will rep on r/....whoops wrong forum.

 

[JP2740]

lmfao @ the responses in this thread. I will get number tmw and report back. Honestly since making this thread been busy everyday at the hospital. I'll update you ph*****

 

[JP2740]

+1, I wouldn't be surprised if the V-card is still in his pocket. "Is there a professionalism issue with getting her number"-- just wow. Maybe if you asked if you should keep banging this chick since she's on your service. But to ask if you should get a number to then take her out after your rotation-- I actually feel sorry for you.

lol we can always count on a dumb ****ing response from you in every thread you post in. You really think I was sitting back and saying I'll let SDN decide? Or you think when I made this thread, I was actually planning on getting a bunch of serious replies? I don't mind the other guys talking ****, because it's funny and I don't care, but your posts are consistently shi.tty. Have to call you out.
