Bullshit. Doctor Who would never leave a patient during an operation to have sex. I'm not sure The Doctor ever has sex. Well maybe Tenant's clone but he wasn't really The Doctor at that point was he?

mushroommunk@lemmy.today · 35 pts · 340d (12 replies)

It's greatly implied during many of The Doctors that he has sex often.

SereneSadie@lemmy.myserv.one · 9 pts · 340d (11 replies)

I personally don't care for RTD and Moffat's fixation on crude/lewd humour and doing all the stupid shipteases personally. So, mileage varies greatly on that.

Well, he had a granddaughter somehow.

I thought they got put together like a tapestry?

That's why they have looms or something to knit them up.

mushroommunk@lemmy.today · 6 pts · 340d

I think that's been scrapped. The Looms came from the novels and stuff during the dark times between old and new who. Many many things from the new who seasons directly contradict there being Looms.

Could that be his daughter's daughter? In which case he wouldn't have had to have sex.

hatorade@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 339d (3 replies)

How did he get a daughter then?

CaptainBlinky@lemmy.myserv.one · 2 pts · 338d

It was a cloning machine accident.

ChairmanMeow@programming.dev · 2 pts · 339d

Technically one was cloned off him at some point. The actress who played her ended up marrying the Doctor though.

The nurse was allowed to practice, so really it was all mutually agreed upon

smeenz@lemmy.nz · 1 pts · 339d

Allowed to practise having sex with a patient, right?

JcbAzPx@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 338d (1 reply)

The very first Doctor had a granddaughter. So canonically he had to have had sex at least once.

CaptainBlinky@lemmy.myserv.one · 2 pts · 338d

Yeah, my comment about him possibly never having sex aged like milk. But he definitely wouldn't stop saving someone to do it!

Was the operation a success?

Anjum was absent from the operating room for eight minutes and the patient came to no harm.

came to? Oh shit what happened after he woke up?

errer@lemmy.world · 44 pts · 340d

and the patient came too, no harm !

Carighan@piefed.world · 37 pts · 340d (1 reply)

8 minutes? Disappointing. Hope the nurse found someone better.

Susaga@sh.itjust.works · 26 pts · 340d

That's why the doctor needs the practise.

He could've done it in 2 minutes if they'd just allow him to fuck inside the OR.

Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works · 9 pts · 339d

That poor nurse... With the removal of gloves, coats and other items, followed by the replacement of them, that leaves little time for her. This dudes a two pump chump.

Per the headline, it seems he's giving nuts more than getting nuts. But maybe both?

betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world · 55 pts · 340d

However, she was satisfied

Phrasing.

...that Anjum was determined not to repeat his past misconduct and considered the risk of repetition to be “very low”.

That old medical adage: Fuck me once, shame on you. Fuck me twice... You can't get fucked again.

He felt the patient from the inside, turned to the nurse and said “I wanna fuck you like an animal.”

Look he's been travelling through time and space for thousands of years and spent billions of years dying repeatedly in a time loop, i don't think he gives a shit about some patient in surgery when there's a chance to get his end away.

Olhonestjim@lemmy.world · 34 pts · 340d (9 replies)

A whole lot of you seem to prefer your narcissistic surgeon to operate on you while horny out of his mind. If he's got a boner to the point he can't concentrate, and I can be kept stable a few minutes, and he has a willing partner, be my guest.

aramis87@fedia.io · 47 pts · 340d (7 replies)

It was an anesthesiologist. And yeah, I'd much rather be kept sleep throughout the entire surgery, thanks.

frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 48 pts · 340d (4 replies)

So that it's clear to everyone, anesthesiologists are usually the highest paid person on any surgical team, and there's a reason for that. Knocking you out without killing you is hard.

That said, the guy did leave someone else to monitor things, and wasn't gone for much more than a long bathroom break.

Coopr8@kbin.earth · 20 pts · 339d

Open secret of the surgery business is that the CRNAs (specialty anesthesia nurses) do all the actual anesthesia work, the Anesthesiologist's job is really to pick the anesthetic based on patient history and bloodwork, do the calculations for dosing based on body weight, and attend for interventions if something goes wrong. The Nurse he put in charge when he left was almost certainly already doing all the work anyway and he was just twiddling his thumbs with a hard on in the corner.

icelimit@lemmy.ml · 9 pts · 340d

I've also heard that it's like a pilot job, the hardest part being the beginning and the end. During routine surgeries, they have fuck all to do, so might as well fuck I guess? /Shrug

Landless2029@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 339d

Leaving and finding a room.
Removing gloves and getting into position.
Doing the deed.
Scrubbing again and putting gloves back on.
Eight minutes

I'd take longer than that pooping in that situation.

the everfucking fuck, he's an anaesthetist. anyone else in the OR can skip out for 15 seconds to fuck, he can't.

echodot@feddit.uk · 10 pts · 339d

Yep it's in the rules.

Anyone but the anaesthetist. They are supposed to wait until after the operation, but the advantages they get to take their time.

That would have been better. The problem seems to have been leaving the operating room.

recklessengagement@lemmy.world · 16 pts · 340d

If the operation went well, I wouldn't care what my doc got up to during surgery. If it was really that much of a distraction and they can knock it out real quick I say go for it

Was operation successful? Whatever it takes, man.

viking@infosec.pub · 5 pts · 339d

Article says the patient was under general anesthesia and being monitored by the assistant anesthesiologist, the doctor was the main anesthesiologist, not the surgeon. So there wasn't really any risk.
