why are drs babies

sirI, i have tried that and she just wont shut up , she is acting like I did it on purpose, she knows that I am in this other position and have other duties, I was trying to help the pt went all of 1 1/2 hrs without pit. when did drs forget that labor was a natural process, I guess I am just extremely frustrated which is why I studing to do consulting. thank you for all your encouragement by the way

How about "if you wanted pit started, maybe you should have ordered it"? Just sounds like she didn't order it. If it's some sort of standard thing in L&D, just remind her that that isn't your primary job, you were just lending a hand, and next time maybe she could be more clear about what she wants.

Also, not really fair to call all docs babies just because of the actions of one of them. And she sounds more like a teenage boy to me.

Love it, you are so right, At this point she just wont let it go

Broken record technique... say what SirI suggested every time she brings it up. Use the same words each time.

The exact same words.

It may feel a little silly or strange at first , but you have the right to ask her to stop... again and again... and again, if need be.

If she still doesn't stop after three or four rounds of this or doesn't even notice, it could become your own secret joke with yourself whenever she says it... "oh, here she goes again, like Old Faithful..." Imagine how much less hurtful and how much more obviously ridiculous it would be if she were still bringing it up five years from now! That's about how useful it is for her to continue to bring it up now as well.

You have a great point I love it, oh I can see her now turning red, thankfully I do not have to work with her often and I have already spoken with her on the phone this morning and she did not bring it up. yest after I made the post I had to talk with her about a seminar she is speaking at and she answered the phone very sarcastically and made reference to the earlier incident. I know it was disrespectful and unprofessional of me but i couldnt help myself. I responded to her sarcasm with ok whip me with a wet noodle and get over it. I have no idea where that came from but it did change her tune.

the wet noodle comment, while perhaps not the *most* professional, was humorous, to the point, and seems to have worked... looks like a pretty good approach, too!

I think I might have shocked her I have spoken with her twice today on the phone and she has been nothing but respectful and professional , has not mentioned the incident at all
