When a doctor in Ontario, Canada, became exasperated with some of her patients' sexually inappropriate behaviour, she took to social media to vent her feelings.

Axar.az reports citing BBC.

In two days, her post on discussion website Reddit was upvoted 28,000 times and sparked 2,000 comments, which included useful tips and advice, as well as similar stories.

As a doctor in her mid-20s, she wrote that she loved her work but could not get away from sexual harassment or "creepy line-crossing behaviour".

"Don't comment on my office's social media account about how you find me attractive and call me "tastey", she said.

"I just want to go to work and, at worst, deal with regular crazy not sexually driven harassment," she added.

As the comments poured in, she thanked people for their supportive words and shared experiences. The BBC spoke to two female medical workers who responded to the post.
