Harassment of male doctors by female attendants of patients is much common than I previously thought but we are not willing to talk about it because well, our minds are not conditioned to imagine women as the harassers and men as the harassed.
Just because men don& #39;t come forward so as not to look weak doesn& #39;t mean it& #39;s not harassment.
If I use the modern definitions, I& #39;ve been harassed by 3 female attendants in the last few weeks. In fact, this woman not only flirted with me but also touched my hands a few times,

she would stand in a way that her shoulders touched mine. I was on call in the ward last night and she kept coming into my room without even knocking. "Doctor sahab sorry bagair knock kiye aa gayi". "Doctor sahab aap khana kha rahe, mujhe bhi ab bhook lag rahi"
I& #39;m not a celebrity. I hardly have an average physique/complexion. Imagine the situation with male celebrities or tall handsome men. What should they do in such situations? If they get involved too, all the blame will befall them as 1) They& #39;re men and they must have started it
2) They are doctors not humans, so they have a bigger responsibility for things that can be out of control.
On the other hand, if they stays silent, they are enabling the harasser.

The third option is they should act. Well, that& #39;s a good option. But ask yourself this: a man and woman come to you and accuse each other of harassment, whom would you instantly believe?
And no it& #39;s not just me. Such things have happened to my male friends too. And I assure you if you do a research, a huge proportion of male doctors will turn out to have been harassed in one way or another. Of course, some might have taken advantage too,
but again, what should a man do in such a situation? Would you call it consensual? Even if you would, in this modern world, women only need to regret the act later to render even a written consent null and void.
So while my advice to women is to stand up to their harassers right on the spot, my advice to young men is to tread the path carefully. Even an uneducated man would never enter a woman& #39;s room without asking for permission. But trust me, uneducated women do.
So always try not to be alone in the same room with any women unless you know her. One wrong step and it can destroy your character and whole career
