Okay ladies & gentlemen...Finish that sentencein the subject line. I have [EVIL]MD[/EVIL] that goes out of her way to just wipe out anyone's credibilty. I am real new at this hospital and want to learn strategies that have been successful fostering at least a working relationship with this she-devil :angryfire . I have had a couple of run ins and she exploded yelling at me in the middle:crying2: of giving her report for not telling her information that was at the end of my report. Just one example. So....let me hear it....

Yeah, he hung up lol. We were actually very lucky in our hospital in that the (majority) of the docs were quite good, and treated the staff with respect. Most of our admitting docs were members of a large multi-specialty group practice, including these two, and the group was known for not putting up with crap like this from their own. The ortho was counseled for his part in this fiasco.

But in all honesty, I wasn't surprised he dropped the ball. Out of all the specialties, ortho was pretty much the only one as a group that could not (or would not) look at anything beyond their own niche... The ONLY thing they considered when admitting and treating patients were ortho problems; if a patient had other issues, or a situation arose outside the realm of orthopedics, they ignored it. Which is why, when my Dad needed a hip replacement, I sent him across town to the other hospital and ortho group. The doc he had saw the whole picture and treated him as more than a bag o' bones lol.

Emmanuel, I want you to be my nurse if and when I ever need one. You sound like a AAA+ pt advocate!

OMG.... He came to US..... Not to my hospital, but I have heard horror stories from friends in other hospitals. I'm so lucky.. all of my docs are so nice and friendly... they even say good morning/good afternoon AND SMILE when you pass them in the hallways.
