Any healthcare professional that would allow him/-herself to flirt with patients should not have taken that profession and should have his/her license revoked at once.
How can you be partial with your patients if you flirt with them. That is a total red flag and goes against the oath they take about impartiality in their profession.
Just imagine a gynecologist starting to flirt with a teenage girl while touching her genitals. If I was that girl, you better believe that I would press charges against him and have him banned from the medical profession for life.

No. But when I went to a woman clinic, they had a man checking out breasts. I always thought women were supposed to do that stuff. When he first looked at my breasts, I thought he'd try to flirt with me but he didn't.
Yes and yes. When I was in the ICU for a lung infections and coughing up blood, I had a really cute nurse that I bonded with and she changed her schedule for the next day so she could be with me❤
Yes, I have flirted and have had that flirt returned. Once when the nurse in charge had made her point of being the one in charge, she pulled me aside and ssid she is the " head-nurse"

Doctors or nurses flirting with patients is definitely unprofessional and shouldn't happen, the point of being there is for them to help you get better and given they have, as a medical professional, access to you and your body in an extremely vulnerable position (depending on the illness/injury/procedure/etc) they should be upholding that level of professionalism to the highest extent.
After you're no longer their patient, of course, then by all means I don't see an issue with it. Doctors and nurses are people too and they deserve to find love or lust and some kind of happiness, just not while they're doing that with someone under their care.
To answer the main question, I've never flirted with a doctor or nurse, but to be honest I wish I had. And before you mention this goes against the previous comment I made, let me clarify that I wasn't a patient at the time.
A few weeks ago, my 93 year old grandmother had a fairly bad fall in which she broke some ribs and had to go to hospital. The one she went to, the local A&E, is somewhere I've never liked. While I love the NHS and what it does for people in this country, this particular hospital has always felt like a really depressing and grim place, the design is old-fashioned (it was built in like the 60s or something and doesn't seem to have been upgraded since), it feels dirty, and the staff there always seem really pissed off at everyone and don't seem to care about the patients at all. I've been there before to see my other Nan after she had a heart attack, and the nurses on the ward had no idea who she was when I turned up asking which bed she was in. I had to go and find her myself - best part is, she was almost directly opposite the nurse's station with a big sign over her bead stating her name and medical info. Yeah.
Anyhow, while my grandmother was recovering, she was deemed well enough to go to another hospital nearby which is mainly for recuperation, and mostly has elderly patients. This one is a lot nicer, it's actually clean, a very modern building, and the staff all seem friendly and you can chat to them and they clearly show great care and attention to the patients. I turned up, and although my Nan was a bit delirious because of an infection, she was otherwise mostly okay and recovering well. We were talking about various topics, and as I've been single for a while the conversation moved on to my love life. Now, bearing in mind my Nan is half deaf (she wears a hearing aid) so we were talking loudly for her to hear me, and she was in a private room with the doors open just by the nurse's station...
It's also worth noting that there were several fairly young (about my age, probably mid to late 20s) and quite attractive nurses working here, including one in particular that caught my eye pretty quickly just as I was walking around to get a chair. My Nana was asking me about my current situation and I explained (single but caught between someone I've known for a while who I was starting to be more interested in, and the last girl I dated where things ended on a friendly note and who I wasn't expecting anything from but who I'd recently started talking to again as friends). My Nan suggested that you never know what could happen, and pointed out that some of the nurses here were attractive and nice and around my age. Cue a discussion on me chatting to the nurses and my Nan trying to set me up with one of them whenever I came to visit her.
In full earshot of the nurses.
They didn't say anything to me about it, although they were as friendly to me as they had been before, so no harm done. I've no idea if they heard all that was said (they heard the first part at least as one of them called out "good advice, Beatrice!" to my Nan), but I've even mentioned to my Nan since then that I half wished she was still resting there for a bit longer before she was sent home and healthy again, just so I'd have been able to chat to that one nurse in particular who caught my eye...I was hospitalized for a few weeks one time and definitely tried to flirt with some of the nurses. Most of them just ignored it, but one of them could tell I was mostly just kidding around to pass the time and played along. It can actually be helpful for patients sometimes, gives them something else to think about. Obviously I’m talking playful flirting not anything serious. And again there’s obviously a time and a place.
I met a nurse a few weeks back who turned out was in year above in school... She was super friendly and we chatted loads about people from school... She tried to arrange to see me again but couldn't and then said she would probably see me again... I just took it as being nice but who knows
All the time. They were as young as 21 and old as 78. Flirted with them all. I am a pharmacy tech with 15 years of experience in trauma center and hospital. I flirted with all the nurses. And i got that piece of cake, a drink and even a kiss on the cheek. 😜😎 I love women in uniform. 😁
Nah that wouldn't be very professional. The closest I can remember was when I was getting one of my medical exams done a few years ago the nurse looked at me and smiled when she touched under my chest. I'm not quite sure why she did that.
Technically, yes, but not at a hospital or doctor's office - it was at a Blockbuster video store. Not sure that counts - I didn't know she was a nurse at the time.
Yeah on serious note their should be some ethical and professional rules n policies as well. Dr should be drs. But on the other side i didn't find any dr lol
No. And every healthcare professional has been professional with me. If they flirted with me, I would ignore and if they persist, then I’ll report them.
Yes, but I only dated doctors when I'm not their patient.
Dating nurses/doctors who are seeing me as a patient is so unethical and weird.Yes , this receptionist that was also able to give injections / vaccinations
and there was some flirting with us one time but it never went any further
she was very cute much younger.I flirted with a super hot doctor once but he reminded me that I was only 16 (at the time) and it was inappropriate.:(
No, I'm all business in a medical environment.
I did flirt with a doctor I met socially. She was really shy.I wouldn't say I flirted per say but does getting a hard on count? I was just wearing the gown and a really cute young nurse came in and well I couldn't help it.
No, that's a movie cliche. They're professionals , beeing focused to the job.
What person doesn't wish or tried to do this? Sadly never tried it cause the docs and nurse in the hospital I go are old as fuck seriously the Bronx is always full of old folk and it pisses me off
On the job, no. By happen stance... oh yeah. Dated lots of nurses over the years and a few M. D.'s too.
Looking back I should have been a lot more draped around a few male doctors.
Not purposely but I apparently did when i was coming out after surgery
A few times. One even give me her personal number and said I didn't have to be sick to come see her
Negative for lupus, and TB, false positive on the clap.
