Thanks again for all the responses! I've printed all eight pages and intend to read the whole thing from time to time (I did the same with my personal statement which serves as a great reminder why I want to be a doctor... figured it'll help me during rough times). Good luck to everyone and thanks again...

Thanks for the replies (especially to NoviceToExpert)!

Sorry, I didn't even bother previewing my post so I messed up the wording. What I meant was nurses waking up doctors (can a mod please fix/edit my original post? thanks). I once saw a doctor get REALLY upset at a nurse for waking him up in the middle of the night even though there was a real emergency! I was a volunteer at the time and was shocked at the doctor's outburst. It's not like the nurse woke him up because she felt like it or anything. Another time, one doc started cursing at the nurses because of a missing chart even though a PT took it!

Not trying to start a flamewar here or anything like that but as an incoming MS I this fall, what are some of the things that doctors do that usually ****** off a nurse? Dr's yelling about missing charts? Yelling for waking them up in the middle of the night? Give me a list so that when I become an MD, I'll be aware of these things and try to avoid them.
