Horrible, awful week

No, he has a habitual "god" problem....ie he thinks he's lord above us all.

Seems typical of those very young docs IMO. You know it occurred to me that I started nursing when he was a snotty-nosed elementary school kid.

I'll let you know how things go.

Okay, here's the update on the problem doc. Seems he was there this AM complaining to the office admin and that he completely omitted the fact that I appologized. (yeah, I did...imagine that.) I told her that my beef is that he was very disrespectful and didn't treat me like the professional that I am. She agreed. She said that the next step should be getting us all in the same room together to talk it out. I said fine...but he better not raise his voice at me.

So now we wait and see what happens.

Well, yesterday I was at work and he came back into my office, closed the door and said "We have to talk." He then launched into a long monologue saying that he felt that he had to be aggressive with me because he found me to be arrogant at first. (I'm not and he even admitted that I'm not) In other words, he was trying to make me feel defensive....it didn't work. I let him finish then I told him that I don't have an issue with his requests. I told him that had he come to me calmly, all this would have been averted. Instead he came with fists flying. He wanted a fight, he got one. Anyway, he appologized and we "made up." And he was realy nice to me after that. A little later the office manager asked me if he had spoken to me, I said yes. She then informs me that she told him that I was thinking of filing a formal complaint. He's done this before with other staff and not many people have complained. He picked a fight with the wrong person I guess.

I'm just glad it's over. There's already a lot of stress at work and I didn't need this. Over the last few months things have been spinning out of control in terms of work load and morale. All the departments are feeling it and it just seems to me that everyone is mad at us nurses....including the patients. I'm looking around for other options. If something better comes along, I'm gone.
