So today at work I finally got a chance to watch a thoracic surgical procedure. I was excited about it because I am really cool with the surgical doctor. However the anesthesiologist was very rude. Because I work in sterile processing, which is looked down on in the surgery department, he felt it was necessary to try and belittle me. Luckily the surgical doctor took up for me and told him to just let me watch and not worry about what department I'm from. I wasn't even there to watch him. After back and forth bickering, he finally put the patient to sleep. So unprofessional, but i guess some things cant be learned in school, you either have it or you dont. RESPECT. Personally, I feel people in the Healthcare field should encourage each other. It's already hard enough to pursue A career in medicine anyway. Although becoming a doctor is something im pursuing, I really hope I don't become like him. I will never forget what it was like and how someone gave me an opportunity. What it all boils down to is that no matter the title we are all human beings and there is a certain level of respect and integrity we should have for one another. I shouldn't have to showcase my B.S in biology to earn respect.....I wanted to say "Keep being rude, because I might take your job one day, but I didnt!" Lol....instead I'll let it shape my character....My love for medicine and the well being of others outweighs any ignorance.
