Dr. Maddox and the others who stated personnel action is necessary are
correct of course.

As a PA, in medicine since 1971, I can attest that we were told "if the Dr.
wants something, s/he gets it" "if they misbehave, we tolerate it". Reasons
varied, but included that they were the boss and that they bring the big
money into the facility.

STILL, my nurse who has been out 10 years was given this same information in
Nursing School. A friend, who is also a nursing instructor I know, now
teaches otherwise.

Respectfully to the stressful situations, I know one very incredible doctor
with whom I worked years ago-- who blew up when maxxed-- losing a patient,
equipment didn't work-- threw things, yelled.. It was not a good situation.

I hope this is being discussed in medical schools today.
