Nurse says surgeon threw human tissue at her, sues hospital

Mahan hmmm... well the name says it all. Some men are preconditioned to treat
females with disrespect. Some people do not have respect for nurses or think
that because they are surgeons, this is a nurse, that she deserves or should be
able to take treatment like this from doctors. If he is not American, I can ASSURE you that customs are very different in other countries and in the U.S.
nurses are paid well, and respected, and skillfull. In other places nurses are
probably less trained than our American CNAs. Some people have a hard time
respecting nurses in other countries, as pathetic as that is. He should have his
license suspened for a while at least.

The Nurse should have told the Doctor that she was planning on informing the patients family obout his unprofessional behavior in the OR. I agree the Doctor has a loose screw. I hope she is successful with her suit.

Nursing insructers would be well advised to ask the OR Nursing staff which doctors are better suited to work with Nursing Students. I remember my first Or rotation as a student. The Vascular Surgeon was wonderful, he took the time to show me the x-ray, explained just what the surgury involved, and allowed me to stand next to the operating table, (not in the back of the room ) so I could get a true pictire of the procedure. I graduated 20 years ago and I've worked with this Doctor on the vascular floor he is as nice to the Staff on the floor as he is to the Staff in the OR. The Nurses love him, we hope he never retires.

You're out of line, Vito. This is abusive, not "goofy stuff". Nor is it "playfulness."
