My friend and ICU doctor

189 replies

My friend has been speaking to an old friend of hers, who happens to be a doctor working in ICU at the moment.

He has invited her to his house to stay overnight - I'm sure I don't have to spell out what for.

He lives around two hours away and she's agreed to go.

AIBU to say something?

You could just mind your own business?

extentioncord · 18/02/2021 07:57

What would you say?

SmileyClare · 18/02/2021 08:00

Depends what you're planning to say?

Good luck?
Don't forget the condoms?
It's fine mate,single people are allowed to join another household, I hope you have a good time?

This isn't much different from an icu doctor going home to his family and wife every night.

Hana88 · 18/02/2021 08:00

I would just remind her that it's against the rules?
She seems to have completely forgotten.

Which specific rule is being broken?

Hana88 · 18/02/2021 08:02

She lives with her family.

I’m sure she has chosen to forget the rules! Stay out of it

TartanGoose · 18/02/2021 08:03

Is it? As long as one of them are single. It may not be. Relationship by your measures but it is by theirs. There isn't a relationship test like there is to get a visa.

Perhaps they are going to shag in the garden?

@Hana88

She lives with her family.
But does he? If he lives alone and her family doesn't already have a support bubble then she is fine.

Are you putting against the covid rules above against the marriage rules?

You need to find a hobby op, something to fill your time up.

Better than clapping him I suppose.

Let them enjoy. And ICU infection rates are the lowest in the NHS as they have the best protection

SmileyClare · 18/02/2021 08:10

Look if the guy's single, he can join any household. Stop nit picking over nothing. You seem more bosom hoiking about the casual sex than transmission risk.

Whatever it is, keep your judgment to yourself.

ShouldIgonow · 18/02/2021 08:10

Let’s hope she doesn’t catch the clap

Playnoh · 18/02/2021 08:10

@Hana88
Congratulations on your post as Covid police.

MissBaskinIfYoureNasty · 18/02/2021 08:10

Oh god have a break!

BeetyAxe · 18/02/2021 08:11

My your own business, I’m sure the man could do with a good time, and if she’s single I’m sure she could too. Lucky them!

SmileyClare · 18/02/2021 08:11

Better than clapping him brilliant Grin

Hana88 · 18/02/2021 08:11

Okay, maybe IABU Grin

I just thought we were supposed to stay in our local area unless it was essential. I haven't seen my parents for months and they're only in the next town. Maybe that's clouding my judgement.

I won't say anything to her.

*Mind your own business obviously.

user1471462428 · 18/02/2021 08:12

Yes tell her to remember condoms! I’ve worked with loads of doctors and they’re pretty promiscuous!

Blessex · 18/02/2021 08:13

Why did she even tell you?

saraclara · 18/02/2021 08:14

Those I know working in ICU are the most (understandably) covid police-like, because they're dealing with the worst of the reality of the virus. So I'm surprised he's encouraging her to visit.
