Hmmm... examples of general rudeness or bad customer service... hmmm.
One time I was having a minor surgery and was flirting with the nurse the whole time...
who I figured out later was the surgeon's babe or something.
Anyway, when my anesthetic wore off, I started to experience horrible, excruciating pain.
I immediately started asking, begging really, for the surgeon to give me more anesthetic, and...
I received a whole lot of nothing.
Nada.
No more anesthetic for me.
Just lots of jabbing with a very sharp knife.
lol.
: )
I guess the surgeon made his "point".

As a future nurse I found this to be quite humorous. Of course, I tend to laugh at lots of inappropriate things. Or inappropriate times. Like today at work... That's for the awkward moments thread. Anyway, I liked Max's post because you just don't mess with surgeons. Regular MDs, sure, but not surgeons. And certainly not their women! After all, surgeons are demi gods!
And I liked MissCris's post because awkwardness is funny!

i'm pretty sure surgeons would disagree with the "demi" part...
So true! It's one reason I don't want to become a surgical nurse. I don't do well with people who have over blown egos. This probably means I'm going to at least date a surgeon if not marry one.

He was arguing that the patient has the final say in type of anesthesia, and that it wasn't a big deal, not like I'd have to be intubated or anything.
Of course, the surgeon wanted it his way...(the local).
Ironically, he had done the first hand, and I'd had general...
I think he realized they were drawing a crowd as he angrily agreed to have Dr. Moses do it his way.
I was more than a little nervous, but knew Dr. Moses had my back in there.
Took out my own stitches that time...no going back to see the surgeon.
Shoulda known better than to see the plastic surgeon who came so highly recommended.
In pecking order, they prolly come after neuros and cardiovasculars, but in their own minds I'm not so sure.
What do you think?

One thing I want to say is that I think the nurses in the neonatal units are absolute angels. We had to spend a certain amount of clinical time up there and I went home crying every night over some of the things we had to do to help those precious little ones. I held it in and conducted myself professionally while I was there, but it was powerful. How they deal with all of that all the time I can't even begin to imagine. I have seen a lot of pain and suffering as a cop, but that...wow...just...wow.
Nursing is a fantastic profession. God will use you mightily I am sure, Aimee.

Many people, in many careers, have spent decades studying...
I can't really see how that gives any of them a good excuse to be jerks, lol.
Ahahaha XD i hear you on that!
As a doctor, who was formerly being pressured into becoming a surgeon by my mother (because of the prestige of it all), there is a great danger for those in our field to become all puffed up and pretty much be jerks. It's because we discover and understand so many things about the human body and how it works, and of course, how to remedy whatever illnesses or bad conditions arise. But i always take time to step back, and look at the human body as GOD's creation, HIS awesome design, and i am humbled...knowing that whatever knowledge we have achieved so far as doctors barely scratch the surface to truly understanding all the wonders of this blessed creation and being human, we don't hold life. It is GOD and only GOD who could save and heal, we are but mere instruments in carrying out these things. So thankfully, my heart is constantly being guarded from being a snob and a jerk, praise GOD!!!

My turkey was torqued about a week ago at work.
I work with developmentally disabled adults. One on my caseload is nonverbal and is learning to use a communication device. He responds well to music - he will "sing" along to the radio while in the car, he enjoys a weekly line dancing activity, and, also once a week, goes to a free noontime concert (classical chamber music) hosted by a downtown church. When I used to take him there (I am no longer with him on Wednesdays) we would go over the instruments that were playing with the device sound either low or turned off.
Barring ordering food, he NEVER initiates a conversation with his device, since signing has gotten him pretty far. After being abandoned as a kid, he spent the next few decades in an institution, where he never learned to initiate ANYTHING. I was excited when we were at a different activity and heard a piano playing in the background. He handed me his device to turn on and flipped through his picture book to find the image of a piano. He then used the device to talk about the music he heard.
I got pretty torqued when one of the other coaches on his team tried to take the noontime concerts off of his schedule. These activities are supposed to be about what is good for the participant, not about what the coach likes/dislikes. I went outside to compose an email in my head, then sent a more appropriate email, leaving out the four-letter words (gotta be professional) explaining why this activity was still important. It is back on his schedule, but I am still a little miffed that I had to defend this against someone who is supposed to be an advocate for him.
By the way, ^^^this^^^ and another gentleman who has had a traumatic brain injury who is not supposed to remember anything after his accident date but can sing along to some radio tunes from much later has me seriously considering going into music therapy when I grow up (I am 47 - maybe I should do that soon.) Part of me still thinks of music therapy as New Age naked drum circles though. Maybe that's because I live in northern California...

My second carpal tunnel surgery wound up with the surgeon and the anesthesiologist arguing heatedly in the hallway outside the OR about whether or not I would have a local or general. I had requested Dr. Moses as my anesthesiologist because he had done my intrathecal for our last baby and was just fantastic in personality and work.
He was arguing that the patient has the final say in type of anesthesia, and that it wasn't a big deal, not like I'd have to be intubated or anything.
Of course, the surgeon wanted it his way...(the local).

I think he realized they were drawing a crowd as he angrily agreed to have Dr. Moses do it his way.
I was more than a little nervous, but knew Dr. Moses had my back in there.

lol )I think that depending on the speciality of the hospital that type of surgeon will have the biggest ego. Around here, it's the neuros. However, I had a surgery a few years ago (my gallbladder went kaput), and the general surgeon assigned to me was notorious for his ego. Now, he was good at what he did, but an ego maniac nonetheless. When I was having the staples removed, I said something about the doctor's abrupt personality. The medical assistant said to me, "Would you rather have a talkative doctor who wasn't good, or a focused doctor who always did well?" I told her that she had a point. I also realized that I wasn't the first patient to have this type of conversation with her.
Doctor's are taught to have incredible confidence in themselves; they need to believe that they can save anyone. A surgeon without confidence will have a higher patient mortality rate than the ones who think they're gods. And there's nothing wrong with confidence. We all need it in one form or another, but I don't like it when someone thinks/feels they're entitled because of said confidence.
