- The Hippocratic Oath affirms that each patient must be treated without distinction or favoritism.
- A video has gone viral on social networks because a doctor shares his experience as a gynecologist for his own daughter and wife.
- The specialist affirms that he has never seen this situation with morbidity nor has it caused him discomfort.
A frequent question in the field of health is whether a doctor should care for their own relatives. It seems like a simple question but it is actually quite complex and for which there is no single answer. But although a general query might not cause too many difficulties, when it comes to a specialty the picture is more complicated. Despite the above, a gynecologist has focused on breaking down myths to show that it is possible.
In this sense, the university indicates to young people the characteristics that medical consultations must have. One of the most important points is the respect that must be given to each patient. The Hippocratic Oath states that each person should be offered the same service without distinction or favoritism.
In the same way, another aspect of great importance is that it must always be confidential. Everything that happens inside the office stays there. Any type of personal information such as the name of the patient can never be shared without their consent or else there may be legal consequences.
On the other hand, in the case of women, a recommendation that is always offered is that each one should have their own gynecologist. He is a specialist who should accompany them from adolescence to adulthood and old age. For this reason, one of the most difficult points is finding someone who transmits enough confidence to achieve the right long-term relationship.
The natural thing is that each one asks among their friends to identify the ideal specialist. It is not easy and many even change doctors frequently because they do not feel comfortable with one. For all of the above, one option is to choose a person from your own family.
Precisely this situation happens to Dr. Isabel Salas, who is a resident of Gynecology and Obstetrics in Jalisco, businesswoman and is also a leader in social networks. By adding her Instagram accounts, TikTok and YouTube, she gathers millions of followers.
precisely through TikTok shared a personal experience that many find strange but to her is totally normal. Through a video, she mentions that her gynecologist is her own father, who is also one of her role models and one of the reasons why she decided to study Medicine.
But the important thing is that the specialist himself, who is the Dr. Andrés Enrique Salas Peimbert, appears in the picture and offers his testimony about this curious relationship. Seriously he mentions that He has never felt sorry or has issued prejudices within the office.
In fact, the doctor affirms that he is also the gynecologist of his wife and other relatives and does not believe that there are problems. Despite personal relationships, he always treats each patient in the same way and with absolute respect. He also speaks to them in a transparent and clear way because within the office there should be no communication barriers.
In addition, Dr. Salas Peimbert adds that He has never seen this situation with morbidity nor has it caused him discomfort. In the end, since he studied Medicine and the specialty, he has always been clear that his goal is to serve and care for the health of others regardless of whether they are his relatives or not.
For its part, the video accumulates more than 464,000 likes and 5,000 comments, the majority being positive because they affirm that a doctor should never lose his professionalism or care about family aspects to provide a quality consultation.
