  • Would you wear a body cam at work?

  • Youth corrections staff is still a whole other story than doctors though. A physical examination is probably one of the most vulnerable positions one could be in. These cameras would record people getting naked, multiple orifices being examined, and patients talking about symptoms or things they are unsure and often ashamed about.

    The cost would be enormous. I imagine many people would be even more reluctant to go to the doctor than they are now.

    And the benefit, in my opinion, would be very slim. Medical malpractice is far more subtle than the examples from the article. As patients we're rarely worried that our doctor will physically assault us, we're worried about errors in judgement, delays in care, and prejudices based on gender, ethnicity, age, sexuality, and so on. And those aren't directly observable most of the time. Even if you get the moment on camera where your doctor decides to trivialize your symptoms you mostly wouldn't be able to prove it happened for discriminatory reasons.

  • Why doctors? Filming patients would be a nightmare in terms of privacy and data policy.

    In my line of work (psychotherapy) it would be equally impossible. People are having a hard enough time as it is opening up to medical professionals, I don't think that the additional barrier of being actively filmed would help anyone.

  • Bundesgericht Schweiz: Allein die Mutter entscheidet über Abtreibung

    Jump

  • Dann dürfen sich die Frauen aber eben auch nicht wundern, wenn die Männer sich entsprechend keinen Sex mehr wollen, sich Zeugungsunfähig machen und niemand mehr Kinder haben will, oder sich gar nicht erst auf eine Beziehung einlassen und lieber Single sein wollen.

    Würde mich gar nicht wundern, das ist aus meiner Sicht sogar die beste Art, verantwortungsvoll mit unserem Potential umzugehen, neue Menschen zu produzieren.

    Ein Kind zu verlassen ist es nicht.

  • Selbst da leidet aber am allermeisten ein Kind, das für die ganze Situation ja am allerwenigsten kann. Es ist mies, dass die Natur in Sachen Kinderkriegen so ungleiche Rollen geschaffen hat, aber so ist es einfach.

    Abtreibungen mütterlicherseits und Kindsaufgabe väterlicherseits mögen sich gleichberechtigt anfühlen, aber die Resultate sind total unterschiedlich. Nach ausgetragener Schwangerschaft ist eine dritte Person im Spiel, und die kann man nicht ignorieren. Es ist einfach Realität, dass wenn ein Mann sich gegen ein Kind entscheidet, selbiges mit einem gravierenden Handicap ins Leben startet; finanziell und psychisch noch dazu.

    Mit Blick auf das Kindeswohl ist das wichtigste, was wir machen können, ungewollte Schwangerschaften zu verhindern. Und dazu können Männer natürlich beitragen. Dass mit Abtreibungen ein weiterer Mechanismus hierfür existiert (auf den Männer typischerweise keinen direkten Zugriff haben), ändert an der notwendigen Schlussfolgerung nichts.

  • Ich verstehe den Wunsch nach Fairness, aber die Szenarien sind nicht so 1 zu 1 vergleichbar. Abtreibung und Kindesaufgabe haben extrem unterschiedliche Outcomes. In einem der Fälle leidet ein Kind unter der Entscheidung - mitunter für den Rest seines Lebens - in der anderen gibts kein Kind, das leiden könnte.

    Kinder sitzen lassen geht einfach nicht. Und dabei geht es gar nicht den Mann und sein Recht auf Gleichberechtigung, sondern ganz einfach um die Vermeidung von Leid auf der Kinderseite.

  • Doesn't sound like a friendship to me. More like an acquaintance.

    I want to know what's up in my friends lives. I want them to tell me if they've got problems. I love them. I want to be there for them, and I want them to listen to me if I need it once. Otherwise, what's the point?

  • What occupation requires the most education/training only to be very low paid?

    Jump

  • Ironically, behind all this is a misconception that we're actually constantly working on with our patients. The truth is that the clinics would function better and we could offer better therapy if, for example, we weren't so overworked and enough staff were employed. But in order to achieve this, we would have to make decisions again and again in specific cases, which are less pleasant for patients in the short term. Specifically: saying no to our employers more often, strikes, and in the worst case resignation. Sensible in the long term, unpleasant in the short term. For our patients. And that's the crux of it.

    Unfortunately it is always easier to discover those mistakes in the thinking of others. I have met dozens of colleagues who avoid fighting for better working conditions for precisely these reasons (while advising their patients to avoid this error in particular). And clinics of course know this and take advantage of it.

    So better negotiation skills are really only party of the solution (although also very important). I think in the long term we need better education and more focus on socialist ideas, specifically on how and why employee rights (and the ability to self-care) are such an integral requirement to a job well done.

  • What occupation requires the most education/training only to be very low paid?

    Jump

  • That's an interesting one. As a psychotherapist from Germany I can say we're definitely not low paid, but it is much less than other academic professions, and especially in relation to the time it takes to get qualified (roughly 10 years) and the cost of approbation itself (varies from 30k-160k, and that's in a country where education usually is free) it's really not a good fit for someone who is very financially motivated. (Ironically because of the high upfront cost the job tends to attract people from well endowed backgrounds though.)

    I think like in many helping professions we have a majority of very idealistic people who don't negotiate very well. Employers get away with way too much because refusal at our side at first only ever hurts the patients, so we kinda keep up with it. Maybe something similar is happening in the professions that are in my mind actually the most underpaid for their time, and that's nursing and care work of all sorts.

  • Your mental acrobatics are the funny part. I don't want to force Ukraine to surrender, so I'm a Nazi. I mean that sounds like a totally sane take 👍

  • Moving the goalposts I see. Now that your opinion is out in the open and so obviously baseless, suddenly it's not about harm reduction anymore, no, the Ukrainians are actually the bad guys.

    Hit me up when you have an actual opinion to discuss and are willing to stick to your story. Because this is a waste of time.

  • I don't know why you did not have the guts to say it, but you very obviously didn't. That's why I said it for you.

    I'm just glad you're such a minority. After all with your mindset the Allies would have left the world to the Nazis in the 1940s and the thousand-year Reich would have been realized.

    That is the reality of your attitude.

  • You don't have the guts to say it, do you? You want Ukraine to SURRENDER.

    We have a word for people who kneel before fascists. How fortunate that such small-minded people don't determine the fate of the world.

  • But what should they do? Like actually, right now?

    Seriously if you can't even manage to formulate your opinion clearly there's no point in taking you seriously. Either you already know how stupid your opinion is or you're just trolling.

    It's easy hiding behind passive-aggressive rhetoric. I've yet to see you actually argue in favor of anything.
