How do you deal with grumpy docs

Published

For some reason lately it has really been haunting me when a doctor is rude to me. When I call them and they don't care what I have to say or I was supposed to call the resident even though I was told to call the doctor ugh... I go home stressing over it, I feel so stupid. I guess it doesn't help I am pregnant and hormonal, but does anyone else feel this way or do you blow them off? TIA :)

If the doctor is a habitual offender, I call him on it. One of our hospitalists is a grumpy doctor, and he was stressed out the other day so I said " Why are you being so grumpy? It's not the content of what you are saying but your delivery. Dr Z is never grumpy like this, why do you have to be so cranky?"

He ended up buy us Chinese take out! :lol2::lol2::lol2:
