Re: Venting session / Jackass surgeon
I really, really hate to do this, but...get used to jackass surgeons. No amount of discussion or education is going to make a difference. it comes with the territory when you are a nurse anesthetist. Surgeons are egotisical, self-centered and arrogant. Of couse, there are exceptions. They expect respect, but won't give it. Get used to it. That being said, they can't do surgery without anesthesia and it doesn't hurt to point that out to them occasionally.
I have found, through the years, that the best surgeons, the ones most respected by their collegues are the easiest to work with. Of couse, it helps to feed their ego occasionally.
Learn how to deal with it in and out of the operating room.
That's why I do yoga.
