I answered a couple posts above. But we talking bomb threats now?! Let’s not move the goal posts too much. I’m addressing a specific crime, assault.

Maybe I haven't watched as many court dramas as you have but im pretty sure threating to stab someone is a crime, whether threatening them over the phone, over the internet or "telling them through a fence."

Mine.
Hundred percent real. It didn’t happen at the same time, but over the course of a few years. I witnessed one of those incidents. Escorted out by security. Our people don’t mess around.

what hospital!? im going into surgery. don't want to end up there.

Any hospital will take a threat seriously. Just don’t make murder threats and you’ll be fine.

How else are surgeons supposed to communicate with nursing staff?!

Haha. I wish that were the case, but I’m scared of nurses.

 

[OrthoTraumaMD]

Seriously though, the surgeon in question literally told the OR staff he would finish the case, go home, get his shotgun, and come back and kill them all. I don’t care how pissed off you are or how incompetent somebody is.... you don’t say things like that.

I have a law degree from SDN University with specialties in Meme Law and Emojis & Acquisitions. In my expert opinion, OP clearly violated Title 4, Section 37B of the "Don't Be A Douche" Clause in the Standards of Common Decency, which has been enacted in all 50 states, as well as the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. Hopefully that settles all of the legal quibbles here, so now we can move on with our days.

SDN is not intended to provide legal advice, which is essentially half of the posts in the last page.

I kind of feel like this thread has run its course and the OP has gotten all the advice that he/she is going to get. I'll leave the thread open for now, but if the posts continue to be outright attempts at providing legal advice it will be closed.

 

[DOFOSHO]

Please read the thread. Just because you’re pretty sure doesn’t make you correct.

lol. im PRETTY SURE you have no idea what your talking about.

 

[ThrowawayShmoaway]

Whelp, "pretty sure" you cannot/wont refute anything with facts.

Lol, I guess you were right about not knowing when to walk away...

DK, time to stop posting. You’re going to get the thread shut down. Do not reply to this, or any other message.

For real tho I just wanna ask OP to give us updates. I’m curious as to what the school will do.

True story...
A former residency director was an enormous egomaniac and jackass. He relentlessly tormented his residents, pimping them incessantly, belittling them, openly mocking them, etc. Generally making their lives unnecessarily miserable. One day he picked on the wrong 3rd year resident one too many times. The (large muscular) guy finished the case and came barreling out of the PACU looking for attending blood.
The attending in question saw all this going down and had to hide in his office under his desk from the resident twice his size and 25 years his junior.
In the end. He wasn’t the director any more and the angry resident is a practicing Anesthesiologist.
Sometimes wanting to beat your attending into next week is justified, and not necessarily career ending. But I wouldn’t recommend it.

The resident was you wasn't it? Respect. Badass.

I think you mean understandable rather than justified.

Sorry to jack your thread OP, but this is a question I’ve wanted to ask for a long while. Has anyone here suffered with anger issues? If so, how did you guys handle clinicals/residency? I wouldn’t say I have anger issues, I just don’t tolerate people being rude for no reason (I usually just have a smart mouthed response or I walk away from the situation).

You're talking about two different things. Saying that you have a tough time tolerating rudeness or verbal abuse is not the same as "anger issues" as most interpret it. If you truly have "anger issues" (tough time controlling your temper, going from 0 to 100, threatening or engaging in verbal or physical violence, etc), therapy is the answer. If you have a tough time putting up with the abuse that's sometimes a part of medical training is more practical advice -- speak with clerkship director/program director, speak with GME, talk about on evals, report it anonymously if you're concerned about retaliation. And if you can't do any of the above, walk away.

I just realized this is an old thread. Not sure why it was bumped, but since it was, what happened OP?

 

[GoSpursGo]

Thread was bumped by someone for a fairly asinine reason who then deleted their post. Closing
