Female physician and engagement rings

I wish this was a shit post & hopefully it doesn’t land in bad taste. Since starting practice and getting engaged, I’ve been dealing with some challenges regarding my engagement ring. I notice it distracts patients when I talk to them and I often catch them staring at it, making me feel self conscious and I promptly turn it around to face my palm. Patients obviously notice this. I know my colleagues notice too.

I work with a wide range of demographics and come from humble beginnings myself, so having something flashy on my finger feels foreign to me.

Have you transitioned to wearing a silicone band in practice and leaving flashy jewelry at home? Has anyone had similar experience?
