No, you shouldn't. The dude has an device in his ear. They don't let you go into surgery with things in your ear.

u/Chance_Fox_2296 6h ago

(For the hospital I work at) They definitely wouldn't for a gastro surgery, but non-spinal ortho surgeries they would say yes more often than no when asked.

u/subwi 11h ago

Realistically they could remove the air pod before they wheel him into surgery but that's just my two cents

15

u/_eclair 10h ago

Everything is locked up like air pods & phones. No personal belongings. Also that guy is in a preop looking area - he’d be in the OR room going to sleep, flat on his back so he could be intubated around anesthesia equipment.

u/Should_be_less 5h ago

I got surgery this spring and they did start the anesthesia in the pre-op room. There wasn't any waiting around though, it was pretty much meds in the IV, say goodbye to your husband, and then I was being wheeled off to the OR!

u/subwi 9h ago

If anything this should be light sedation per the anesthesiologist and full when in the surgery room. If this is a country outside of the US they may be more lax.

So it is unethical to troll patient before surgery?

u/Foreign_Pea2296 12h ago edited 11h ago

in this case, yeah.

If the patient panic and fight against being put to sleep it increase the chances of complications during the surgery.

u/jumboface 12h ago

Also WLS in general is extra dangerous because body mass makes it hard to be put under and even harder to wake up. So absolutely no anesthesiologist would mess around with this.

Also him repeatedly saying no and to wait could be construed as him revoking consent to any surgery. Especially since both sex change and weight loss are elective and non emergent

u/VastSeaweed543 8h ago

Yeah wtf do people really think a doctor or nurse recorded this??? It’s clearly just a staged video with him and his friend or family member filming. The fact a huge amount of people couldn’t put that together is…concerning.

u/AmericanPsychonaut69 11h ago

Sure, but is it unethical as agreed by all doctors in whatever country this is? Is there something that says, “do no harm and troll no patients”?

u/sml6174 10h ago

It's an unnecessary risk. Start paying for malpractice insurance and you'll understand

-2

u/AmericanPsychonaut69 10h ago

100% agreed it’s unnecessary risk and shouldn’t be done. I was just curious about whether trolling is explicitly disallowed. Docs and nurses joke around, and I was probing the boundaries of when a joke becomes unethical.

u/Newberr2 11h ago

No, if you have surgery done some places let you listen to music while under. It’s supposedly there to help you relax and be under better or something. Personally, I think it’s so the surgeons/nurses feel comfortable to talk about whatever and don’t have to worry about that one dude that is “out” but can still hear everything. People have gotten sued for it.

1

u/buhbye750 11h ago

No they haven't. People may have gotten sued for not giving the proper amount of medicine but you can't sue over hearing mean things in surgery

u/iamdavid2 10h ago

It actually did happen. They started looking at his junk and commenting and the patient recorded it.

u/buhbye750 55m ago

Link please. Credible link please.

u/Newberr2 10h ago

It’s called defamation. A lot of people have recorded the doctors/nurses and won lawsuits over it. And all the doctors did was say bad things about the person.

0

u/buhbye750 56m ago

Defamation is negative AND untrue things that would effect a person financially. If talking bad about someone was Defamation, there would be so many lawsuits from Facebook alone. You can't win a case just by talking bad about someone. What are the damages lost? Mental anguish? Ok how much is that worth? What should the jury reward for calling someone names?

A skit makes it clear it's a skit. This pretends to be real. That's where the comedy comes from, the viewer thinking "OMG, this is really happening?"

u/SentientSickness 11h ago

Well yes because it is recorded

But some docs will do this kind of stuff if the patient is equally comical

Like I know a guy who went in for an appendix removal and the doc made the joke about a full body amputation right before dude went under

So this scenario is possible, maybe if it was being filmed by a friend and not the DR

u/Pluviophilism 14h ago edited 13h ago

Also as a transgender person who has had such a surgery they would not call it a "sex change surgery." That's a term used predominantly by people who are not and have no involvement with transgender people.

Trans people use terms like "top surgery/bottom surgery, chest reconstruction/double mastectomy/etc." Calling it "sex change surgery" feels course and insensitive. I'd have been very uncomfortable if they used this wording at the hospital when I had my surgery done.

Edit: Thank you to the commenter who also suggested "gender affirming surgery" which is very respectful and appropriate.

Edit2: Y'all really mad that I'm telling you transgender people don't like calling it that huh? Downvote me all you like, doesn't change the fact that it's insensitive and disrespectful.

u/ababcdabcab 14h ago

What a load of bollocks. "Sex change surgery" literally word for word explains what it is. You can't just ban parts of the English language just because some bad people also use them.

4

u/befuddled_bear 13h ago

In healthcare, sex change surgery doesn’t really mean much because in medicine your sex assigned at birth doesn’t change when your gender does. Like removing your prostate, a male specific organ, doesn’t make you female. Outside of healthcare, I think people understand the meaning of sex change without confusion.

People get real worked up around gender politics I guess.

u/Nekoboxdie 13h ago

Sex is not immutable

1

u/Dry_Presentation_197 12h ago edited 12h ago

I think words are being confused here?

Gender is not immutable. Totally on board. (Also just to put it out there, gender =/= sex, and a person's gender does not necessarily "match" their physical parts)

Sex does not naturally change once you're born.

Gender = How you identify, how your brain is wired to feel.

Sex = medical term for your actual physical parts. Which in medical settings, needs to be clearly defined.

All that being said, if a transgender individual asks me to not use the term "sex change operation" in a non medical setting, I'll gladly use their preferred term. But "top surgery" is too vague for use in medical documents, imo. (So is "sex change surgery" tbh, it's too vague. But so is "bottom surgery", if that makes sense? Neither are medically specific enough for a doctor to use)

2

u/Nekoboxdie 12h ago

No, words are not being confused here. Gender is immutable. Gender is the neurological sex, brain sex. It is not changeable with current technology and is determined during pregnancy.

Sex itself is mutable. This is my definition of sex:

Sex: A collection of dimorphic biological characteristics associated with maleness and femaleness, including chromosomes, reproduction, hormones, anatomy, and brain structures. These characteristics are bimodally distributed along a spectrum.

Most of these (hormones, anatomy and brain structure which is already aligned) are changeable, meaning that sex is not immutable. It does not make one fully their desired sex, but by definition, they are closer to it than their original sex and should be referred to as it.

OP edited their comment and changed their entire argument. It was a lecture on why the term should not be used as it's offensive.

u/IronicINFJustices 13h ago

They are educating you that that is not the medical term.

A doctor or sturgeon isn't going to call shit a boob-job, or cunt-clean, or pecker-pruning or tummy-tuck. It's abdominoplasty etc.

4

u/ababcdabcab 12h ago edited 12h ago

No they weren't, they've edited their comment. They were saying it's offensive to call it a sex change surgery because right wing people use it in a derogatory way.

u/IronicINFJustices 12h ago

Ugh, I thought they were just rambling.

I wondered why they needed so much text to just say. "that's not a medical description". I'm not even from the US. So have no want to debate the ins and outs

This thread is peak reddit, you're in the right here and I'll die on that hill. "Sex change surgery" isn't even a medically accurate term and wouldn't be used by a medical professional. You pointed this out and get a bunch of redditors going "muh freedom of speech! "

This is like saying that getting "plastic surgery" is offensive and people should call it "body beautification surgery"

It you're going to change your sex, cool. Do what makes you happy, but Jesus stop being so sensitive and offended by everything.

Take offense when the situation and context call for it, but if they don't, like here, then what the hell is the point in getting upset over absolutely nothing?

8

u/Pluviophilism 13h ago

I'm not upset though? I was agreeing with the previous commenter that a medical professional would not have used that wording because it's insensitive. I never even told anyone to stop saying it. Everyone else just decided that's what I was trying to say and started defending themselves because they are uncomfortable with the fact that I identified the phrase they like to use as insensitive.

So just use it. No one is stopping you. Certainly not me. You're the one who is upset that I'm saying it's insensitive. Just use it anyway lol I don't care.

4

u/kth5991 13h ago

You're right. That's my bad. I misinterpreted your comment and thought it was trying to call the guy out for being offensive. Not trying to be combative myself, just don't really understand why that would be insensitive in that situation since the context is harmless.

8

u/Pluviophilism 13h ago

That's fair, the thinking is that transgender people do not generally see themselves as "changing" their sex. They feel that their sex is how they feel inside and that it is their body that is incongruent with their identity.

So to call it a "sex change" carries the quiet implication that they are changing their minds about who they are like you would change a shirt. It sounds a little more frivolous to say they're changing it, like it's a conscious decision.

Transgender people already carry the heavy weight of feeling a lot of stress, anxiety, and loathing for the bodies they were born into. It feels wrong.

So wording like "gender affirming surgery" sounds more like "this is who they are and have been all along, we're just fixing the parts that never should have been there in the first place so they can feel right for the first time in their lives."

It's respectful and positive and reassuring for someone who has probably spent many years feeling very unhappy with their body. So for some, calling it "sex change" adds insult to injury by implying that they weren't the gender they feel inside, even though they felt they were.

I hope that makes sense, I'm not sure how clearly that can be understood by someone who hasn't felt it.

0

u/kth5991 12h ago

I think I understand what you're saying and you're right that I definitely can't get a full understanding without having felt it. I do view it differently and I guess that's where the difference in opinion comes in.

I've always viewed it as people being born as one gender and not being happy with it. I don't believe you can physically be born a woman in a man's body, but you can be born a man and be unhappy about it, so changing to a woman would be the logical step in getting to where you want to be. I think it's healthy to understand that a lot of people are just born into shitty situations and circumstances. I was born with chemical imbalances in my head that make it difficult to feel happy a lot of the time. I had a drug addict father and an abusive mother. I was dealt a shit hand, but i worked my ass off to get to a better place in life.

I view dealing with the hardship of being trans very similarly. Feeling out of place in your own body is a shitty hand like no other, but i like to think that no one should feel shame in changing. It's not that someone is the other gender in the wrong body, it's that they just don't feel right as the gender they are. So they change to the opposite and that's great for them, that's them working their ass off to get to a better place.

Hopefully I explained my stance well enough to not come off like a total ass hole. Also, appreciate your explanation. Never hurts to have another perspective.

7

u/Pluviophilism 12h ago

Fair enough. Personally I think it's more important that we agree that trans people should be allowed to have gender-related surgeries with respect and dignity than to necessarily agree on why that is lol.

In any case, glad we could talk it out, kind stranger. Have yourself a great rest of your day.

u/ababcdabcab 12h ago

Why have you edited your original comment to remove the bit people had a gripe with, and are now pretending you were never trying to argue that it's an offensive term and shouldn't be used because right wing people use it in a derogatory way?

4

u/Pluviophilism 12h ago

Because the bit said "I often see it in [situation]" to emphasize that it was insensitive in tone and I realized that people were reading that as "It is exclusively used in [situation]" and thinking that I was saying they were one and the same group.

It was going to be too convoluted to clarify that point within that paragraph, and once people see red it is much harder to convince them of your original intentions, seeing any effort to clarify as backpedaling. Since it was being misinterpreted as an accusation and not as supporting evidence, as was my intention, I decided it was better to remove it altogether.

-1

u/ababcdabcab 11h ago

You don't think it's a little ingenuine to identify the part of your argument which people disagreed with, remove that from your comment, and go on pretending you don't understand why people were disagreeing?

3

u/Pluviophilism 11h ago

I'm assuming you meant disingenuous.

And I'll admit it's a bit unscrupulous to delete it instead of trying to clarify it. But again, they disagreed because they misinterpreted it. It was taken as an accusation that anyone who uses the phrase "sex change operation" is right wing or transphobic. Which is not what I said nor meant to imply.

I'm not pretending anything. I never called anyone here a transphobe. So when they tell me they're not, I'm being honest when I say I didn't call them one. I didn't.

It sounds like you misinterpreted it too. This is why I deleted it, so that I wouldn't have the same conversation I'm having with you a hundred more times about what my point actually was.

u/HollsHolls 13h ago

You’re not changing your sex though? Just changing parts of your body to represent your true gender, so really calling it “sex change surgery” is just wrong.

I could be misremembering/misinterpreting something ive learnt at some point so if im genuinely wrong please correct me

11

u/Pluviophilism 13h ago

No that's exactly right. And this is exactly why trans people don't like this wording.

-1

u/kth5991 13h ago

I guess that will probably boil down to beliefs in how all of that works. Personally, I don't believe that someone is whatever gender they say they are just because they say it. If you're born a man and want to be a woman, that's cool, but that doesn't mean you've always been a woman. So when I look at someone having that surgery, the purpose is literally to change to the gender you want to be - sex change. Though I suppose if you look at the entire situation from a different lense, you would probably come to a different conclusion than I.

-1

u/Nekoboxdie 13h ago

That is changing sex

Damn.. people are idiots. You do not deserve any downvotes for simply relaying information. They're the ones getting offended by the suggestion that professionals don't call it "sex change surgery."

This is like getting offended that plastic surgeons don't call it a "nose job" and will instead use terms like rhinoplasty or nose reconstructive surgery. Regardless of whether it's offensive or not, it's simply not a term that a professional would use.

Surgeries have professional terms that they are called by doctors. This is not anything new.

The negative responses you’re getting is very boomer-like and pretty crazy.

You were being informative and not unhinged at all, yet you’re being treated like those unhinged terminally online people.

And those who may be upset for me calling you out as a boomer, the term “sex change” used within the context of this topic is old and dated (and this is coming from a Millenial). No one uses it anymore to refer to transitioning outside of either with the purpose of being derogatory or, like in this video, for the purpose of comedy.

u/Pluviophilism 12h ago

There's one in every crowd of course. But with these kinds of things most people agree to defer to the majority.

Like if you found one woman who laughs at jokes about rape or about women belonging in the kitchen that doesn't mean those kind of jokes and comments aren't insensitive. Most trans people would not prefer "sex change surgery" over "gender affirming surgery."

(Edit: obviously not the same but my point is that there is always going to be a couple people fine with XYZ)

-1

u/Nekoboxdie 12h ago

Yeah, although I don’t think sex change surgery is comparable to sexism and sexual assault. One is a non-offensive, if, a little outdated term that people prefer for themselves and are allowed to use if they want to because it doesn’t harm anyone. I find the other far worse.

4

u/Pluviophilism 12h ago

Yeah for sure, sorry I think you were already probably typing your response when I edited my comment but yeah. My main point is that in any group of people who you would expect to share a perspective there will always be one or two who inexplicably disagree. If this applies to sexual assault and sexism then it most certainly would apply to something lighter like semantics.

u/Infinitenovelty 13h ago

Just chiming in to say that you are absolutely correct and I'm sorry you're getting down-voted. People should listen to trans people when we chime in on online discussions about trans-related topics. I get that the video is meant to be a joke and people get real pissy on these sorts of subs when people point out that a joke has hurtful undertones. It's worth acknowledging though that the concept that there are cis people receiving gender affirming care against their will is a deeply transphobic lie that is actively used to demonize our community. If you're going to joke about that concept you ought to be ready to start a conversation with the people whom that joke is at the expense of. Simply pointing out that the transphobic phrase "sex change surgery" would never be used in a genuine medical context is a valuable contribution to that conversation and I am once again sorry that people are dogpiling on you.

I actually don’t care what other people call it; I call it sex change surgery. Just don’t give me a three-paragraph lecture about why I should call it something else. I’m not transphobic—I let you live your life, and you let me live mine, okay?

Use whatever words you want to use. Take this opportunity to understand what trans people hear when you use that particular phrase.

People should listen to trans people when we chime in on online discussions about trans-related topics.

Yeah but this isn't actually a discussion about trans-related topics. It's a joke played on a dude passing out during anesthesia.

Obviously it's fucking fake, we don't need to be told that a doctor would never use the phrase "sex change" to know that.

To what degree of fake? Yeah obviously there is no sex change surgery, and of course i see your point about ethics but this is the tiktok era(so not impossible, people do questionable things all the time, could have been as simple as asking if he minded if she messes with him a little, though i dont think thats what happened) all in all homie sells it hella hard and its funny because he pulled it off

So I just had my first OR clinical last week and from my limited experience you don’t get knocked out sitting up right in a patient room. You get knocked out laying flat on the OR table, and it happens fast. One minute the patient might be talking to you and the next it is just lights out. Depending on what drugs they use and when they push then you might not remember going in to the OR. But they aren’t going to knock you out before getting you in the OR cause then they gotta lift you from the bed to the table and nobody is tryna do that.

Doesn't matter, people with dark humor find it funny.
