Okay, I am in the ED and I completely agree with everything you said. I work with some doctors who will be so fake with their patients, and then will come out of the exam room and talk negatively about them. It's disgusting! I don't know if I am just burnt out and sick (3 planes in last 2 days, feel like I may be getting strep, working 8 hr shift 1.5 hrs away from house, etc.), or what. I just am not enjoying being here today and the doctor I am with is extremely passive aggressive and just making me want to go home and give up. Lol :/ I'm sure I'll feel differently in the morning, but right now...yeah.No. However, I have worked with doctors that should be ashamed of the way the act, and make me embarrassed for the profession. It's just not becoming to act like you're always right. Speaking from my own experiences working in the Emergency Department, I don't care if you're an M.D., Ph.D. from HMS... the ED could, and does, run just fine without you. Acting like you know everything just makes people angry and wastes time and money. Don't order tests that aren't necessary. Talk to nurses, talk to radiology, ... don't assume you know more than everyone else, because many of the hardworking staff you're alienating have worked for decades and have a lot more knowledge in their area of expertise than you ever will. Rant over.![]()
