For context I work in healthcare and have had really weird interactions with a patient more so recently.. The type of healthcare I work in we see the same patients everyday for about 4 weeks, I’ve had a few really uncomfortable interactions with this one older guy (65) I’m 23, I’ve brushed off some of the other comments thinking it’s just rogue boomer chat even though they’ve been subpar, I’ve also brushed off some of the other comments he’s made as he’s said weird things in front of me and a coworker who’s also female more sexist comments than anything like ‘women can’t make up their minds’ or ‘buttons are for women not men, Velcro is for a man which is why I can’t do up my own shorts’ etc. but when we end up alone he’s been saying strange things to me for example ‘I’ve never had a beautiful woman do up my pants before like this’ then awkwardly laughs after this comment I blew this one off thinking it was just a really strange comment to make but today he asked me where I originated from, I replied and then he said “oh well you’re really cute” this comment has really thrown me and I don’t know if I’m overreacting going to my manager and calling this sexual harassment but moral of the story I’m uncomfortable and it feels wrong…
Hey fellow healthcare heroes! 🌟 I recently came across some interesting insights about the new NHS Digital Urgent Care Contracts and how they might reshape our working environment.
