so this is one of these "degloving" injuries i've heard about
Orientedx3depravity
You like the skin on your hand? Cool, it's gone now. Ta-dah, de-gloved.
HungryFurBurger
Oh you sweet summer child!!
As a nurse I'd like to say you don't see shit like this, but there are way too many dumbasses around.
YouL0stTheGame
“I’m sorry you got a terminal illness because of my torn glove but I’m married and can’t take it off sooo”
madmanmoe64
This could just as easily be a laboratory, I'm pretty sure every hospital has the no rings rule.

Doctor? It's a janitor that just unclogged a shitty toilet.
Anthonlee
I love how you all just jump shit because one person assumed one possiblity of stupidity out of many less life threatening scenarios
SailorBOB
You lose that inside me, I'm fucking keeping it.
icecreamlorry
They could very well be in catering.
ANightAtTheCocksbury
I used to do sewer work. Actual 'this is where things that get flushed go' sewer work. The disregard for sanitary practices was horrifying.
Bregfret
You'd think a proctologist would know better...
georgedragonslayer
My sister in law is a doctor. She is one of the most intelligent and stupidest people I have ever met.
wangtangle
A tech I know always pulls off a glove finger tip so she "can feel the veins better" and I'm like why even wear them at all at that point.
wildcatfan4life
A nurse friend told me their rule for rings at work is that they can only be the plan band ones, like what men wear.
Muad
Here in Finland, nurses don't wear any rings, apparently because bacteria easily breed between the ring and the skin and get transferred.
Cereaza
"I'm sorry mam. But you've developed a deadly staph infection. One of the doctors got a big ass diamond, and refuses to take it off."
AzothTheGuildRat
Not supposed to wear rings on the health care field for this exact reason. My wife can't wear hers at the hospital she works at.
I thought it's because there's a nice breeding ground for bacteria between the ring and the skin.
That and in between the diamonds etc. But the ring rip the glives then get exposed to bacteria hence why they dont allow them most hospitals
TurdFerguson14
So she says... Most at mine wear wedding band only
Basghetti
There’s no way this person is in any legitimate medical field.
Imhappyhere
you'd be surprised...
UsernameTheMusical
I mean... She didn't claim that she was? She might have been cleaning.
bekkers78
My hospital has a rule about rings specifically because of this because you know...germs.
gerontophilia
Our whole country has a rule.
bubbleteapanties
But...but how will people know about my engagement?
jackalope2196
Yeah, and I hate what a dust collector my fire engine red Ferrari is. Life just isn't fair *sigh*
Dyslexicbirch
Thats an infection issue
FatLemongrab
They're obviously wearing it for a gag..
Hopefuly
tmspmike
I see nothing in the pic that indicates she is a doctor. Or nurse. I use identical gloves to clean my toilet. Hold up a bit before 1/2

looks like any chemistry lab.
lynching her for dumbassery.
Youdontdeservesteveharrington
Thank you. I scrolled way too far for this comment. Also, my nail technician also wears gloves like that.
Ivanaski
Take those off they're fucking filthy in hospital setting. Jesus
That might not even be a hospital..
zorrofuerte
I don't think it is. With the drawers and what looks like it might be a freezer or fridge I am guessing microbiology lab.

But then how would they let everyone around them know how wealthy they are?

don't forget about aids

You’re not supposed to wear rings like this for this exact reason... infection control... only supposed to wear a plain band if you must
True that. But doesn’t change we aren’t supposed to wear rings with big stones lol
jkwi
yeah but showing off in front of the girls seems to be more important
More likely this is completely set up
GrinchyGrinchy111
Nah dude
yeah
Osicat
You not even supose to have painted nails in a hospital, and absolutley no rings. Thats a infection issue not for you but for your patients.
Jillymaree76
Not all. I'm an rn and there was no policy about wedding jewelry
TwinkleBat
We’re allowed simple plain gold wedding bands beneath gloves in the UK. No diamonds or bling tho.
Is that even a hospital though..
Watchtheadventuresofpeteandpete
AORN has actually changed their stance on nail polish. No gel though or artificial ones
CaptainAhab0
It's a joke....relax.....it's ok to laugh

maybe it's not a hospital though
It is probably a research lab and the person might have been pipetting.

myloveforyouislikeatruckberserker
First read as 'for your panties' and was confused
johnnydarkside
But then you don't have as many reason to show off that massive rock.
for yourself too... i'd never bring home the filt i collect the the hospital, that why we have protocols and rules
Tinkrr
Thank you! At least someone said it...
ImANurse
Seen a tag heurer get shit on it becausw of dumb show off nurse
riyadhkhaddar3000
As a guy who's been in the jewelry business since I was a little kid, this is pain. YOU HAVE A BIG FUCK-OFF DIAMOND. DON'T WEAR IT TO WORK.
nerotep
You were a child jeweler? Impressive
My dad's been a jeweler since he was 8, and I pretty much grew up in the shop.
She doesn't. It's a huge infection control thing. It's a joke Jesus Christ no one gets it haha
GoochoLibre
I wear a cheap stunt ring anywhere except fancy events, then the real one comes out of its very secure box.
mentalpiggie
Idk if she can even take it off, looks like it's pretty tight around her finger
Schmongo
I'm not sure you get the point of the post. You see... she just wants everyone to see her snazzy African slave token.
sf111
It could be a synthetic. You don't know.
MAYORofTITTYciti
But isn't it more romantic if people fought and died for those stones?
NickGeer
I'm sure someone in Africa fought and died for the stones before we buy the stones.
SirPercy
Lol
You know, you could say it's about attention without the other junk, right? Oh right, you want it too. Here you go.
bigassdolphin
Hey, I ALWAYS want attention called to my slave. It gives them hope and they work faster.
curiouscatlearns
"the other junk" right the stuff about slavery and shit, yeah why would we want to talk about that.
MagWasTaken
There's a time and place. This is neither.
sorry if it like you know bums you out or whatever, I just thought it a bit cold to refer slavery as "junk"
It’s okay, for an SJW the proper time and place to them is always and anywhere.
alottabees
Now, all she has to do is pull the "Hey, where'd my ring go?" gag after performing open heart surgery
IrgendSoEinTyp
"Gag"
GeneralEcchi
House pls
YamatoIouko
Turk pls
K1ltu
Or a prostate exam
MisterDictionary
No, with a prostate exam, you pull a "Where did this ring come from?" gag.
VolvoSupportTeam
Lost a ring in another ring.
Just FYI no one is allowed to wear arm/hand jewelry doing surgery. It goes against all hand hygiene protocols.
OGsteelrain
How else would she let the other nurses know which of them the doctor thought was best in the sack
55minutesuntilareashutdown
This comment is a disaster
I knew how it was going to go when I posted it. No ragrets.
AllYourCoffeeAreBelongToUs
The best in the sack doesn't get a ring. That's how you make her worse in the sack.
GilderoyPopDropNLockart
That’s an old trope
GerberLegalTeam
Patients often call me doctor and my female coworkers nurse. We're neither.
Only if it's a joke and doesn't happen all the time. Also, I have an equal opportunity murse version above for you
And it's actually a real misconception some people have that they think doctor and nurse are gender specific terms for the same job.Like 1/2
Actor and actress.
This can't be true. Tell me this is made up and those people don't exist
Its rare. But you get all types of patients.
ForeignShepherd
No joke, but i've seen some pretty stupid people who are nurses and doctors. It's like their brain only works when they are working.
IPostKakapoGif
I’ve always said that qualification doesn’t equate to intelligence.
bpetersen
95% persistence 5% being smart. Given enough time, most people could do anything. It's choosing what ur good at is the hard part
coolkidwestern
Doctors know a lot about the human body, but the human mind is a beast even the best know little about
doctorbees
I used to live with 2 medical students. Can confirm.
Kitash
Parents are doctors I tell people that they are the smartest people I know and are completely without common sense
DieselBrother
A lot of them don't work when they're at work either. Source: I'm an EMT
lexifornow
I’ve seen physicians throw away $10k rings with their gloves.
If that. I supply nurses and they have done some DUMB shit on the clock.
Dragongurl392
I know a nurse who got pregnant right away after having her first child, because she thought she couldn’t while breastfeeding. Dumbass.
UmamiMama
Yup. My sister is a complete idiot
utur
I'm 90% sure that's a kitchen and gloves are for cleaning. Med-types don't wear at work because this+pathogen risk beneath the ring.
MrTegu
Takes dedication to become a doctor, intelligence not required.
Finrau
Doctors= badly partitioned hard drives. optimized for medicine, everything else is buffered then forgotten.
flamingflamingo

DianNaoChong
The amount of nurses refusing flu shots is incredible. It's on the job sometimes too.
number14
Smart and practical are not the same thing
CityYeti
Very long work hours can lower a person's cognitive abilities. So it's like they put all their brain power to being Doctors
Devil's Advocate here... perhaps she was posting the picture because she keeps forgetting to take the ring off...?
MitchBeaucannon
My SO works in medicine. The amount of supersmart idiots is astonishing.
EtaCatinae

Tupacabra

StopStaringAtMyUserNameItsVeryShy
I've had someone do surgery on me that after being told I'm a guy five times still called me 'she'.
Eldibs
They're categorically intelligent. As in, outside their chosen field, they're idiots.
LaronX
While you need a good grade to study medicine, the actual degree is mostly doable with memorisation. It isn't quantum science.
nerdyvet
Most people are fully capable of becoming any medical professional they want. We're only human. Which I DO wish some folks would remember...
Letstriptogether
I studied biology (waiting for a medspot) and medicine in university. No one believes biology was a lot more difficult. Medicine isn't hard.
Med degrees are more desirable, that is the only reason why it is hard to get in...and dead bodies to cut being limited.
Flyndaran
Most if not all degrees are doable with a good memory. And sans a good memory, many are simply impossible.
jezzacorbyn
As a student nurse I can assure you most nurses are idiots
Haiddon

As a housekeeper at a hospital, its not only when theyre off work. I had to get in an argumrnt with the head of ER that virus & parasites
Are in fact different, so the way we clean for them is very different.
UnassumingAscotCap
Who was this head of surgery, so I can make sure I never receive medical care anywhere near them
Haha no names or location, I still work here :) just trying to make it clean for your botched surgery
BellerophonM
Okay, that's... professionally concerning.
Yup. After 5mins of having a looping convo, she said "fine then I'm just gona go clean it" me"No, don-... Yknow what go for it." -click-
Commory
Dumbasses. If they only played plague inc then they would have known that Virus have a higher mutation chance while parasites cant get any
Yesssss I love the game ????
DNA by infecting new hosts. So simple....
SightlierGravy
Do you have to be more stringent with viruses than parasites?
Well it was a scabies room, which I hadnt done in a year (3rd shift) so I didn't remember the protocal. Management was getting here within
An hour, & she demanded i bring Tru-D which is a big UV light thing for viruses. itd be 100% inefective against bugs, besides maybe tanning.
CutChemist
Viruses aren't even living. How do you kill something that does not live?
I'm a housekeeper not a scientist

A+E/ER are a law unto themselves. I swear they live on a different planet sometimes.
True dat
NinjaHorus
True that. I regularly get patients through from A+E with the plan "bloods, xray, ecg, refer medics". That's not a goddamn plan!
I'm a nurse, I feel like that some days. Use up all our alloted brain power during the shift.
Camali45
after explaining nicely that a finger/toe/ear/tooth will not grow back for 20+ minutes makes my brain shut down to preserve itself.

Most people are fully capable of becoming any medical professional they want. We're only human. Which I DO wish some folks would remember...
Letstriptogether
I studied biology (waiting for a medspot) and medicine in university. No one believes biology was a lot more difficult. Medicine isn't hard.
LaronX
Med degrees are more desirable, that is the only reason why it is hard to get in...and dead bodies to cut being limited.
Flyndaran
Most if not all degrees are doable with a good memory. And sans a good memory, many are simply impossible.

As a student nurse I can assure you most nurses are idiots
Haiddon
if your job is thinking, why would you think more than you have to?

My wife is a doctor and I've jokingly refered to her as the smartest dumbass I know
mwppmarauders
I'm a nurse and my boyfriend does the same. Couldn't remember the words "shallow" and "deep" after work once...
mwppmarauders
(2/2) Referred to the ocean as "tall water" and other bodies of water as "short water".

To be fair, you are likely constantly sleep deprived lol

Me and my boyfriend are vegan

My ex is a doctor and when we bought her wedding ring we specifically got a low profile one to wear under gloves. They’re not all dumb.

My mums getting her PHD. Very intelligent lady but holy guacamole does she come out with some dumb things.

Over education can be a real killer.

Getting my PhD - looking around me in the program- just normal people, making their best guesses.

...And that’s how u were born.

Its almost like they spent all their levelup points on one stat and didn't leave any room for their other stats...
Vambee
This is absolutely the best way to describe this. Most of my co-workers leveled up Science but had to drop points in everything else.
myotherusernameismyotherusername
Common sense as dump stat is a bad idea.
Nordalin
Too bad you can only realise that after dumping points into it.
Onja
Me and my boyfriend are engineers, this is accurate.

As a housekeeper at a hospital, its not only when theyre off work. I had to get in an argumrnt with the head of ER that virus & parasites
anon311919
Are in fact different, so the way we clean for them is very different.
UnassumingAscotCap
Who was this head of surgery, so I can make sure I never receive medical care anywhere near them
anon311919
Haha no names or location, I still work here :) just trying to make it clean for your botched surgery
BellerophonM
Okay, that's... professionally concerning.
anon311919
Yup. After 5mins of having a looping convo, she said "fine then I'm just gona go clean it" me"No, don-... Yknow what go for it." -click-
Commory
Dumbasses. If they only played plague inc then they would have known that Virus have a higher mutation chance while parasites cant get any
anon311919
Yesssss I love the game ????
Commory
DNA by infecting new hosts. So simple....
SightlierGravy
Do you have to be more stringent with viruses than parasites?
anon311919
Well it was a scabies room, which I hadnt done in a year (3rd shift) so I didn't remember the protocal. Management was getting here within
anon311919
An hour, & she demanded i bring Tru-D which is a big UV light thing for viruses. itd be 100% inefective against bugs, besides maybe tanning.
CutChemist
Viruses aren't even living. How do you kill something that does not live?
anon311919
I'm a housekeeper not a scientist
spongebobmingepants
Cut off its head?
HungryFurBurger
A+E/ER are a law unto themselves. I swear they live on a different planet sometimes.
anon311919
True dat
NinjaHorus
True that. I regularly get patients through from A+E with the plan "bloods, xray, ecg, refer medics". That's not a goddamn plan!
mwppmarauders
I'm a nurse, I feel like that some days. Use up all our alloted brain power during the shift.
Camali45
after explaining nicely that a finger/toe/ear/tooth will not grow back for 20+ minutes makes my brain shut down to preserve itself.
mwppmarauders
Or explaining to smokers why they can't leave the pre heart surgery unit to go outside to smoke.
AlkeneThiol
Ben Carson being the epitome of such an individual. Apparently brilliant neurosurgeon. Completely illogical in every other field ever.
crazyhindu
It's the god complex. Amazing brain surgeon. Good enough brain to fix other brains. So obviously has a superior brain to others.
belindashort
One of my friends is some kind of fancy biologist and she once tried to smoke a hemp sock...
TheHalfBlood
Came to make sure someone mentioned Ben Carson!
IAmTheBeachIWorship
But muh grain silo pyramids /s
DickMercenary
Being intelligent in one area makes one less likely to second guess themselves in others.
TehStoner
If you know nothing about a field, maybe you *should* second guess yourself a little....
