Original Article: Unwanted Sexual Attention from Patients
Do med students get training on how to deal with sexual attention from patients?
Listener Zipadee Doodah (not her actual name) was the victim of unwanted sexual attention from a patient. Because her employer didn’t have a policy in place to deal with it, she fought for one. But she wonders, what sort of training do medical students get on dealing with unwanted advances from patients? Kaci McCleary, Erik Kneller, Eric Schnieders, and newbie co-host Cheryl Wang offer their perspectives. Plus we consider a clever approach from a restaurateur who was surprised to learn that her efforts to create a welcoming, inclusive place of business nevertheless masked a simmering harassment problem. How she and her crew dealt with it might be a model for medicine.
We also heard from Yanis, who’s got an MBA/MA and is applying to medical school. But he’s worried a lack of science-types to write letters of recommendation letters might hurt his chances.
Finally, Paulius responded to our recent episode on test anxiety–specifically, Dave’s painful ice cube technique–with a more gentle technique of his own.
