Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Although it’s true that nurses can have some fucked up beliefs, don’t underestimate doctors. Some of my colleagues are ableist, misogynistic, bigoted, power hungry, with a superiority complex. I think these are the kind of Gps and specialists making r/medicine so awful.
And some of them are even Redditors
Physicians are a highly-regarded professional class, and rightfully so in the vast majority of cases. But any role with that kind of social cache, you're bound to have some complete asshats aim for that position.
What's the joke again? What do you call the person who graduated medical school at the bottom of their class? Doctor.
(Also not to discount those folks going into medicine for the right reasons who burn out and become deeply cynical, bringing out their worst traits. As you obviously know, it's not an easy job - I sure as hell couldn't do it, unless I specialized in Pathology. Maybe.)
It was almost always male doctors being the most needlessly aggressive and condescending to me.
Female nps were generally okay.
They're all human beings, and do human being things. Unfortunately? Maybe humans are a mistake and we should try over being dogs with opposable thumbs now.
Dr. Fido: I prescribe more licks and treats.
Fine, but can you stop humping my leg?
It’s an insurance thing, we have to say we tried it first or they won’t cover the treats.
I agree, but it's like that in a lot of industries. Car mechanics, plumbers/electricians, IT. If you try to tell those people anything they will go out of their way to try to prove you wrong. Really weird behavior worthy of a scientific study.
I've been watching through Silicon Valley for the first time and holy shit is this Richard. He can't take any form of criticism, he can't just accept that other people have good ideas, and he constantly tanks his own prospects because of his stubbornness.
Sounds like my colleagues. But since medicine is a hierarchical culture that values conformity over critical thought, that type of behaviour tends to actually work in favour of the person.
