Any resident/attending who does that needs to be outed publicly, by name.
Shame on those attendings. Under these circumstances, patient lists should be divided between attending and resident if physical exam is necessary (I'm in psych so I opt for virtual visit if I don't need to physically examine the patient) and each should see their own patients. Attending eyeballing resident's patients from doorway is okay in my book as long as attending is lightening resident's load/risk by seeing half the patient by him/herself.
If that's true, it needs to be made public. Otherwise, it's just a rumor which is likely what it is. A secret that explosive doesn't stay secret this long. MGH was on national media this morning raiding their emergency stockpile. More likely, it's staff speculating that's what's going on and that's what you've heard rather than it being fact.
