Now I know CT surgeons have been getting a bad rap but yesterday was a gem in the OR and a throwback to when CT guys ruled this profession. Anyways, we're going on bypass and the heart isn't fully arresting, meaning the heart is twitching but not being perfused, so he loses it on the perfusionist...the classic line being "What the F%$& did you put in the pleg because you're killing this guy's heart!" The perfusionist just mumbled something incoherent.

The second classic line came when the scrub wasn't handing him the equipment fast enough..."Sweetheart you're going to have move faster than that".


But the best moment was when he got fed up during the case and just said "Shut it off" without looking up or breaking stride. Everybody was looking around wondering what he was talking about, then he looked up and said again while looking in the general direction of the anesthesiologist "I said shut it the F%$& off!" The anesthesiologist got the point and basically jumped from his stool and shut off the music he always plays during cases. Complete and utter display of who really owns the OR...the surgeon just ordered YOU Mr. Gas Pusher to shut off YOUR music...total pwnage.

When all was said and done and after he left the OR the anesthesiologist finally pipes up and says something like "That guy is such an ahole". Yeah it takes a tough guy to say that when he's already LEFT and you were quiet as a mouse when he was less than a few feet away from you. Just more proof who dominates since gasboy was afraid to say that to his face.

This guy is one of those cats who doesn't even acknowledge your existence if you don't have F.A.C.S. after your name. After that display I've begun to calling chicks Sweetheart myself.

guy sounds like a great guy.
something to really strive for.

he's the guy who was a tiny wiry dude in high school and college, couldn't get laid, decided that if he could become the omnipotent "CT surgeon" and start cussing people out, and calling women "sweetheart" maybe he'd finally feel cool and be somebody.

This sh*tty excuse of a human-being reminds of me of fat ass Eric Catman. The only thing that works with Dumb F*ck low-lives like that is the "Dog Whiiiiisperer": Dominate and Ignore.

One of the best....he's gotten me a couple times.


Now for the lame S.W. humor: I think he is the prophecy that will bring balance to the Troll. I'm willing to train him.


....it's funny to me.😳
 
he's no a-hole because he's a dr. cox wannabe (assuming he started medicine before scrubs first aired)

he's an a-hole cuz, well, it seems to work for him. the nurses run around him, the anesthesiologist listened, and everyone backs off. he gets his way and seems to have no one to answer to. the anesthesiologist clearly doesnt have the stones to blacklist him, and it's a pretty sure bet that even if he does, one tirade will bring him back in the OR

he's an arse, but he gets things done, and that's undeniable. that clearly doesn't mean everyone should be like him. nice doctors live longer...i'd hope.

at any institution, u'll find some real nice department heads, and some real pain-in-the-ass dept heads, and thats just the way the balance works. sometimes an ass is necessary to whip residents into shape, but if everyone was like that, ur just giving into a breed to a pissed-off surgeons.

he is who he is, i am, what i am. personality develops by the end of adolesence, it's stupid to forcefully change it.

The issue here isn't about personality differences. The issues are professionalism and patient safety. It doesn't matter how good your hands are if you have such a malignant personality that people are so scared to work with you that they're distracted and make mistakes.

I don't know why I'm responding seriously, as this is obviously a thread made for trolling. I don't know why trolls pretend to idolize these "bada$$es" who yell and scream and throw temper tantrums anyway. I've always preferred the Winston (The) Wolfe types, myself. :laugh: (Warning, like R rated)

There is alot of truth in this. I have been told countless times, to get things done in the OR you have to be an ahole. If you want prime OR time, 2 rooms, certain equipment, or certain staff unfortunately it is often the only way things get done. The nice guy will suffer and get none of the things I mentioned. I guess its the squeaky wheel arguement. It is especially true if you have primarily an outpatient practice or work out of two different hospitals. The people in charge know the kind of revenue they will miss out on if they don't make people happy.

You don't have to be a jerk to get the things you want, you just have to be the squeaky wheel, ask forcefully with a reason why your request makes sense, why it would benefit others and be someone people want to help (although a-holes also get what they want).

In my limited experience, it seems like the people who are "squeaky wheels" are just as likely to be labeled a$$holes as the folks who actually deserve the label.

Perhaps, but I think its all in the way you go about it (along with having reasonable requests).


I get my way a lot of the time (ie, opening a 2nd room, having a special instrument, etc.) and doubt highly that anyone here thinks I'm a jerk.😉

haha everyone loves the dr. cox and dr. house, but when the time comes, they learn its a helluva lot harder to do than pretend.

but in all seriousness, i've been to many hospitals in the philadelphia area, and have noticed that the depts of neurosurgery and orthopedic surgery, as well as general surgery, are ridden with these types. incidentally, the interns and PGY-2's are much nicer. almost seems like it's a slow progression.

malignant personalities aren't liked by anyone, but they seem to work in hospitals, and these guys aren't malignant to their patients, just other doctors. in doing so, they get the OR's for their patients and whatever else they need. it's not a question of whether it's good, but whether it works, and it clearly does.

as for myself, i hope i don't become one, and i certainly don't call myself malignant in any way - but if it happens to a lotta ppl as they go thru their surgery residency...well, it can happen to me too. it's part of the system whether we like it or not. the big kahunas are bad-a$$e$ and they get their way. i ask politely and i'm deferred for weeks. problem is, a med student with a malignant personality yelling at surgeons to get a few mins of their time is probably not a good idea, and ...aye - there's the rub.

however, when these big honchos with their huge personalities get their way everytime and become true Type-A's, they know theyre the best and theyre awesome. they know that when they walk into the room, they are the biggest, strongest being. it's okay to admire the strong sense of self they have, but not their arrogant tirades and malignancy. that's just the sign of a misanthrope.

If I may borrow a phrase from the btards in the Lounge, I would advise you to "lurk moar." Your "experience" (if I recall correctly, you're still a MS 1 or 2) in a few Philly area hospitals does not reflect reality in most hospitals nowadays. There's a difference between being confident and assertive and being a yelling, screaming, unprofessional prima dona, and the latter is tolerated less and less today, if at all.

Hence the saying "Nice guys finish last".

...or more eloquently I've heard said: "In the real world, Goliath kicks David's ass 99% of the time".
 
Please don't propagate this type of thinking. You can usually get others to do what needs to be done without being a jerk. It's better to have a work environment where others don't harbor ill will towards you b/c you belittle them. On the other hand, if someone absolutely refuses to comply, being a jerk is sometimes the only option you have left that will work. I think you can make your point without lacing it with profanity though.

Um......okay....and a surgeon's income isn't based on how much HE works? Dude, crawl back into whatever ungodly orifice you were vomitted from and see if you can't get a clue. :laugh:
 
haha...ortho residents ive talked to mentioned working about 110 hrs per week.

Assuming a salary of 40 grand, it comes out to less than a grand a week.

u gotta love the hourly wage.

and as far as not seeing enough, entei, i don't doubt you've seen more, but i've been many times to jefferson's hospital, penn's hospital (which i believe are the two largest in philly), robert wood in jersey, and the christiana VA at delaware - all fairly large places, and each hospital has these characters.

whether or not theyre tolerated they do exist in significant numbers; perhaps the institution you train at is blessed to be devoid of these characters, but, if i were a betting man, i'd put money on you meeting one eventually.

more often than not, these guys are in surgery. i agree, there's a difference between assertive and draconian showboy, and ppl respect the former, but everyone listens to the latter. obviously you can't treat your patients this way as it buys you a one-way ticket to the streetcorner, but i've noticed these guys are wonderful to patients, but real jerks once theyre out.

obviously, if they did that to patients too, i don't think we'd see nearly as many.

dude, i meant with that last statement you let it be known that your bank account is dependent on working as an anesthesiologist. hence being just another working stiff.

can on of you anesthesiologist appologize to Misterioso, most of his threads have been about anesthesiologist and i can't help but come to the conclusion that in order to piss someone off this much, either one of you stole his girlfriend or he couldn't get an interview in anesthesia. my money is on the former. :idea:

You want to put down Dr. Cox, for getting into GS when it was 'easy'?

Look in the mirror. What about YOU? Do you think you would have even been accepted to medical school on your own merits if it weren't for your family name or a word put in from a well-connected relative? Puleease!!! Do you think you could make it in this world without the training-wheels you call a "trust fund"?

You don't have to work for a living? Good for you. So what are you doing in medical school? Why waste your time? Why waste our time with your presence? You don't need us and we don't need you.

It sounds like your motivaton for going medical school is so you can look down on your working-class colleagues and your working-class patients.
 
Either ban this ***** or stop replying to his posts. Why do you people even bother brining down yourselves to his level.

I've got to agree with bigtimesmally. This Misterioso guy is getting way too much pleasure from pissing people off. The only reason he posts is to get you guys all worked up. I admit, he is clearly a tool, but the way to show him that is by ignoring EVERYTHING he posts and not by playing into his stupid game. In fact, don't reply to any stupid posts by stupid people.

While the Administrative powers can be tempting in such times as this, I don't think it worthwhile to defend my actions, my record or explain that sometimes people change their minds about career aspirations for reasons other than wanting to work less.

I suggest we all ignore the OP and at the risk of being labeled heavy handed and totalitarian, I am closing this thread because I don't see its value except in amusing trolls and angering others.
