I don’t know how to explain it, but I know it can’t just be me! I’ve met a lot of healthcare workers including doctors, PA’s, dermatologists, dentists, etc. and it’s one of the environments where I’ve noticed that a certain number of medical professionals will come in and maintain this unbroken gaze with you, and it’s caught me a little off guard before. 30 seconds of unbroken eye contact starts to feel like a lot and I lowkey feel like I’m under a microscope sometimes, lol.
I’m aware that eye contact is an important part of bedside manner and many doctors will make eye contact to show that they are being respectful and attentive. However, I’ve noticed that there are a lot of people (don’t really know the exact number, but at least 6 or 7 I met personally that I can remember over a few years?) who held such a long stare compared to other doctors that I wondered if they were ever actually gonna blink, lol.
I think a lot of less ‘emotional’ people, people who are cooler under pressure, or even sociopaths/psychopaths might be drawn to these jobs because of their ability to handle stressful or challenging work environments, but I don’t know. Not vilifying sociopathy or psychopathy, of course, but I wonder if those are people I’ve met without realizing it. (I do realize that you can be low empathy without necessarily being a sociopath, and that eye contact/lack thereof isn’t necessarily indicative of either) but I’ve always wondered, why do some doctors do this?
