I know I'm a rough around the edges kinda gal, but I'm old school nursing where docs r 'Gods'. So I tend to still approach them in a submissive fashion.
Tonight at work, had a situation that left me feeling humiliated by a doctor, in front of my coworkers.
I know the doc was just frustrated at how a situation turned out.
I tried really hard to keep it together and I could feel myself getting all red in the face.
I don't want to act rude or unprofessional, even though the way I was treated was unprofessional.. But I don't want to make it a habit of this doc just belittling me like it's acceptable.
How do you guys deal? Any tips on how to handle/reply in a professional way if this happens in the future?
I really wanted to tell them I really don't appreciate being spoken to in that manner, but I think at the time I was in so much shock all I could say was I'm sorry.
