Has anyone dated a surgeon

[Ccvyvyan]

Are They troublesome to date with the work schedule? I’ve got a date with a guy from work but he seems like a stress person and wondering what am I letting myself in for. 🌲

Be prepared. God complex and controlling.

I wouldn't bother. You will come second to the job.

Agree with above...God complex, always come second to work, and love the sound of their own voice.

Yeah he seems very mood swingy but has been going through a lot. I feel a bit nervous as I dated another clinical person and it was just so rocky as he was only devoted to work and it was above everything.

Sorry don’t know what the random tree is doing there.. laggy phone.

I dunno....the surgeon who operated on my broken shoulder was very cute. If I wasn't old enough to be his mum, and mindful of the fact he'd put bits of metal in me when I was under a GA I'd consider it!

What kind of surgeon?

He’s an orthopaedic surgeon.

A tree surgeon would be fit and strong.

I have, a cardiologist, he was really lovely.
But then an anaesthetist came along...

He'll be handy at DIY.

My brother is married to one. The good ones do always put the job first and it can be tricky to navigate around the schedule - you have to be ok with being alone a lot or having them dash out in the middle of things or miss special occasions. It works for them because my brother is a hermit who loves his own company so the frenetic lifestyle actually suits him, but it's not for everyone.

He always says he's married to her but she's married to her scalpel and seeing him on the side.

I know several lovely surgeons. … there are definitely surgeons on Mumsnet.
Treat him as a person.. a self obsessed git will be self obsessed… no matter their job. Don’t be awed by the job and if he’s an idiot move on.

Yeah it’s not the job it’s just it didn’t work out last time when I was with someone in a similar profession. I’m a workaholic but he was something else.

Orthopedics meh.

Is this the guy you needed to get over a crush on the other day?

I'm here for the tree surgeon 😋

Yes, ex husband. I didn't give him enough attention so he had an affair with his 20 year old nurse. Vomit. Well shot of him.

Jesus. Sorry. Although that sounds very familiar.

Goodness don't be sorry. I'm chuffed to bits he did, in hindsight. Gave me a 'reason' to divorce.

Yes although didn’t honk that posted?

Think!

Oh congratulations then. 🥳

😂 indeed

I think Mumsnet might have pulled it after a couple of responses.

I wouldn't mix work and relationships - especially if you've done it before and it hasn't worked out.
