Dear Angela,
 
Yelling at anyone, unless your safety is threatened is not going to achieve anything in the long term.
 
Yelling at staff is called bullying and here is Australia results in formal warnings, and then dismissal.
 
It also is a sure sign of an immature and insecure man

I work with a pariticular trauma surgeon and he loses his temper easily and resorts to yelling and screaming at all staff until hiis orders are done and things go his way overall .  My trauma team are no amateurs and have a good flow when it' s gets busy.  Your walking on egg shells around him because no one  knows what will upset him.  And he never says ," sorry for acting out of line." Thouhghts?

Personal opinion .............taught to me by my first surgeon mentor:

"A surgeon never yells or throws instruments. It is a sign of one who has lost control. When you lose control of your self, you have lost control of the operating room and your patient's welfare"

Take for what it is worth. I  have lived that as my motto and have never regretted it.
