Needs some cheering up

what happened? Physicians get upset all of the time, often for no good reason at all.....

A majority of physicians are totally into "drama." They seem to make things 1000x worse than they are. Dont sweat it!

I have been there......even had a nurse call me "STUPID" in front of a group of nurses & physicians when I asked a question during my new nurse orientation and I went home crying. You have to lift your head up and keep on marching.

Yes. I've had those days. Sometimes it helps to remember that the "angry" person has also made mistakes. We might not know what those mistakes are, but they do exist. Always!

Some things you can make better,

Some things you can't, and can just understand,

and other things you just accept.

Thank you all for your comments. His focus was on a financial aspect that the patient might be getting because of my mistake versus the well being of his pt. I guess he needed someone to blame....

I have had misguided rants directed at me a million times. I have had nurses tell me to "shut up" or when I'm talking to a patient, or they are talking to me, a nurse said "if you'd just stop talking and listen to me." (when the patient and myself are TALKING!) I tell you, it never ceases to amaze me the lack of professionalism, decency, or respect in this profession at times. It's not all, to be sure, but those that have the audacity to pull such a knuckle head move really gets my goat. Really really gets my goat. How dare they. I find these days that I am more apt to stand up and correct those, when years ago I would not have. It's unfortunate that we have to really turn it on for those people, when I would prefer not to, but someone has to speak up and not allow these imbeciles to continue on their rant to someone else. We can only do so much. Keep your head high and move it along. Chances are they are not thinking one bit about you and your feelings.

You will always encounter arrogant and idiot people in your journey/career. Natural stupidity will never beat artificial intelligence.

Who cares if they are upset...I try to have little interaction with them anymore. Especially at a teaching hospital, the residents would be the first to throw you under the bus...my advice is just to stay clear of all the docs.

I have a dear friend who is an absolute genius at dealing with "difficult people". When faced with a red-faced ranting physician who was attacking her for something that was completely off the wall..... she said in a very sympathetic tone " it's not easy being you, is it?" Priceless!
