I have experienced working with both mean and nice doctors. I work in longterm care and some doctors don't give a damn to what the nurse has to say. Some of them will not even return our calls if one of the patients has a change in condition. Now, is this ethical for a doctor to place themselves on call and not return phone calls.? How can I go about this situation next time it happens?It is just stressful discussing patients with these doctors. However, i commend the doctors who show respect to nurses and their profession.
