Honestly doctors are cool and all, but society gives them wayyyyyyyy too much credit when it comes to how knowledgeable they are....i learned long ago, that the more titles after your name don’t really mean you are the brightest clinician

TBH sometimes I chuckle when I see a nurse with literally every acronym and title til it hits the end of their ID card..

I think the culture of the unit or hospital has alot to do with how Doctors are treated and see themselves. I ended up being a charge nurse at one of my old jobs when I was really young and in order to survive you just had to learn how to go toe to toe with them. At the end of the day I realize we all want the same thing but they need to be checked sometimes.

Surgeons are the worst of the worst, I might die a little inside if my sister marries a surgeon...I won't approve at all if for example my sister brings a surgeon home to meet the parents. They're good at what they do but I've never talked to a surgeon that doesn't make you feel that you're not beneath them lol

I've heard so many stories of surgeons. Some surgeons literally don't recognize the faces of the patients they've operated on, on the same day they've operated on them, after they did the operation!

On some 'Are you sure this is the patient I've operated on? I'm pretty sure this bed is the patient I've operated on....' (*points at wrong patient on the wrong bed*)

I've heard of surgeons who don't care if the pre - surgery checklist was just started...all they care about is if the patient is on the table at the time they're at the table...

' Um, doctor, the patient just got here. We just started the presurgery checklist...'

'Doesn't matter! I'm already in the OR!'

Um doc...the presurgery checklist is kind of impt.. :lol:

Personally I've only had 1 bad experience and best believe I've seen a lot of specialists and surgeons. When I had a kneecap stabilization surgery, I went to one of the other orthopedic surgeons at the local hospital and it was a very friendly and professional experience.

The bad experience was with a gastro-entorologist. I kept coughing up large bloodclots in class so I went to the ER after class.
They decided to start with a gastroscopy. By default that's already a pretty nasty experience but normally you're supposed to have an empty stomach, for me that wasn't the case so the procedure was pretty horrid.
The specialist sounded about as disinterested as one could get while I was shook about the blood. My stomach was clean so the blood was coming from somewhere else and he just came off as an arrogant douche who wanted to get rid of me asap.

It later turned out that the blood came from my lungs due to a congenital defect called intra-lobary pulmonary sequester. I had a very complex case of it. I had an extra artery that branched off from my aorta and went into smaller vessels in my right lung. That entire system wasn't supposed to be there but the main problem was that this extra artery was roughly the same circumference as my actual aorta.

Due to the pressure from such a large artery going into small bloodvessels in my lung, the artery started to tear and caused internal bleeding in my lung. The pulmonologist discovered the problem after a CT-scan with contrast fluid.
She was very helpful in calming me down and due to the complexity of my case, she used her connections to contact the very best lung surgeon in the country to stop the bleeding and remove half of my right lung. It turned out that she was a friend of the surgeon and he flew back from an international conference to perform emergency surgery on me.
There was another team on emergency standby in case the tear in the artery increased of course.

No complaints whatsoever about that surgeon. Very friendly, clearly cares a lot about his patients, willing to take the time to provide you with any information you can think of, ...
When I had a review appointment about a year after the surgery, he remembered every detail.


So generally I've had nothing but great experiences with specialists and surgeons.

I hit up my boy that was recently released from the hospital with COVID to check in on him. Tells me he had to go back a few days after because he had chest pain and they found a blood clot in his lung. Then tells me his boy died from it (mid 30s) then tells me his neighbor died from it. Stay safe y'all

Interesting. Ive been hearing about Covid causing hypercoability and even had a case of it recently of Covid with PE.
Going to have to do research.
 
My experience with surgeons/ortho haven’t been great. Get an attitude when I ask for more clarification on WBAT status due to the notes not mentioning it. Love it when them nurses check them doctors.
 
I work closely with 2 physicians on a small steering team and they’re both great. I also know a couple of others who seem to be good guys. I’m sure everyone’s experiences aren’t the same with others across the health system though. I’ve heard stories.

The hospital setting has always been one big ego contest. Imagine as pharmacists how we feel sometimes.

-Nurses always replacing things, cant find ****
-PAs having no idea what theyre doing
-MDs constantly getting doses wrong

We stay correcting everyone on rounds and taking our sweet *** time in the dungeons during verifying.

In all honesty, the majority are great people. There's always a few bad apples in the bunch that will easily test your patience.

Oh.

Maybe it is only American doctors that have terrible personalities. Either that or you are just extremely lucky.

That's great.

I'm especially surprised your doctor can remember your surgery a yr after. It's either your surgery was very unique or your surgeon just has an unusually strong memory.

Like I said there are surgeons that can't recognize their patients even a few hours after doing surgery on them.

the way you guys explain the medical heirarchy gives me flashbacks of my time in the Air Force :lol:......so doctors are the fighter pilots, nurses are the crew chiefs and CNAs are the maintenance personnel

There’s definitely an established hierarchy. We’re trying to shift to a culture where ancillary staff can stop a physician and discreetly tell him/her that they forgot to wash their hands before entering a patient’s room. Easier said than done though.

One of the things I missed the most about the hospital was the camaraderie from pretty much everyone. Honestly some of my favorite people to shoot the ish with were the transporters and unit clerks. I know everyones been having conversations about who is essential and what not but when you work in a hospital you learn early on that EVERYONE is essential. Always about the golden rule at the end of the day.

Asian Americans been assaulted and almost murdered already due to the virus...

These ugly things seem inevitable in these circumstances. Proves things would probably get to savage and lethal levels if something worse happened to the world
