Rude doctors

[SnickerDoodle_RN]

Hello everyone,

I am sure we all have experienced this a time or two working in a busy emergency department. I have worked er for awhile now and get along well with all the doctors save for one. This person in particular is unpopular because of her behavior. Lately, however it seems her ways have become magnified. She is SO RUDE and in the past she would vent frustration at me and then apologize later. In fact, she has done this multiple times. I have never had any other provider treat me this way, just her. It is really frustrating and I am thinking about reporting her, but I am not really sure how. I am also scared she will retaliate against me and may even be successful at doing so. One event that really irked me was when I was helping in the trauma bay and was incredibly busy and a bit stressed. She starts demanding I go find a scribe for her and I tell her when I am finished with my current task I will go find one (which was more kind than she deserved) she literally just stared at me until I finished my task when she could have gotten a scribe or called one herself. Another occasion she yelled at me for taking too long to give a patient Ibuprofen (it had been 25 minutes since ordered, given at 30). She is also treating other staff this way and it is very frustrating. I dont know what to do. I just hate working with her. Should I pull her aside and talk to her or just report her. I want to smooth thing over not kick the hornets nest. Personally though I feel her attitude is a big problem and she is the kind of person who thinks nurses are beneath her and she can just kick them around when she is frustrated. What do I do? I seriously feel like the next time she says "im sorry" im going to say "yeah, heard that before." then I'll really get into trouble. UGH!

This doctor didn't have a manager, but I am very happy with the one I have now. He is as wonderful, and more helpful than any other physician I have ever had. I am GLAD I MADE THE CHANGE.
