HELP Resident calling baby "stupid" What to do!!!??

If she is a resident, she has an attending - I would speak with them.

Wow! Hope she's not going into pediatrics!!

Document, chart, and report it to the attending and or your manager. If they just shrug it off, then go up the chain of command. I have no tolerance for people who cannot act in a mature/professional manner. Worst of all having this kind of attitude around a sick infant!

Pathetic.

Even if nothing comes of it, this resident will get hers eventually.

What comes around, goes around.

Exactly. I would not permit this either.

I hate this kind of cruelty!

I am afraid that I wouldn't be able to wait to find the attending. This is child abuse and I would just tell her that. If someone gets mad, so be it.

Never, under any circumstances should a medical professional demean any client. What would she do if you weren't watching her? Pinch the poor little thing to check a pain response?

From another direction completely: When I encounter a mean person, I envision them surrounded by white light. They get uncomfortable and leave. Because I believe that mean people are hooked up with the dark side, I will pray for their soul – once.

Definitely report it to your manager and the attending. You are an advocate for your patient. The little ones who can't defend themselves need strong advocates. Best wishes to you!!

Just curious why this needed to be included?
