First of all, I am very sorry to hear that you are experiencing such distress. Workplace bullying and discrimination based on appearance are unacceptable, especially in a professional environment such as medical workers that requires a high degree of professionalism and teamwork. Your value lies in your medical skills, sense of responsibility and hard work for patients, not your appearance. Although I understand that you want to recognize these code words to better deal with bullying, I want to remind you: excessive attention to negative vocabulary may deepen the psychological burden. On the contrary, it is more important how to protect one's rights and mental health. Here are some suggestions： --- ### **1. Possible types of code words (need to be carefully identified)** -**Indirect metaphors**: Such as "looks are very characteristic", "unforgettable" and "unique temperament", may be used to belittle. -**Contrasting ridicule**: "It's a stark contrast between you and XX (recognized as a good-looking colleague) standing together." -**Distortion of workplace terminology**: such as "your appearance is very 'clinical’" (maliciously borrowing professional vocabulary). -**Comparison of animals or objects**: Nicknames that implicitly belittle (such as "dinosaurs", "aliens", etc.). -**"Caring" attack**: "Why don't you try medical beauty? "(Falsely suggesting, but actually humiliating). --- ### **2. More important coping strategies** -**Record facts**: Write down the specific time, remarks, and persons involved, and keep evidence. -**Direct response (if safe)**: Calmly asked rhetorically: "What did you mean by what you just said?" "(Make the other party aware of the offensive nature). -**Seek support**: Report the situation to trusted superiors, human resources departments, or hospital unions, emphasizing that this affects the working environment. -**Psychological construction**: Appearance is not equal to professional ability. Psychological counseling can be sought if necessary. -**Legal channels**: If it constitutes a long-term insult, rights can be defended through legal channels after collecting evidence. --- ### **3. Pay attention to your own advantages** Medicine is a field that relies on technology and empathy to win respect. Patients will trust you because of your professionalism and care, not your appearance. Many outstanding doctors in history (such as Helen Taussig, a pioneer in pediatric cardiology) did not achieve their achievements by appearance. If the environment is indeed unbearable, consider changing to a medical institution that respects professional competence more. Your talents deserve better space to display. Hope you can be treated fairly. If there are any specific situations that need to be discussed further, you can add details, and I will try my best to provide suggestions.
