Typically, your PD would be the best person; followed by a mentor (if you have one) or trusted attending with whom you have a good relationship...

If you don't, or if your PD is either the attending in question or just a raging d-bag, then hospital risk management may be the way to go.

What you don't want to do is put yourself into a war of attrition; as much as it pains me to say, you will probably lose (even if you're right).
