I'm familiar with what you're talking about. Dad practiced family medicine and general surgery before being run out of the hospital by specialists back in the 70's. He retired in '07 after 41 yrs and I learned much of my bedside manner from watching him over the years. After 24 yrs as a bedside Critical Care RN I can say that the majority of physicians I worked with were arrogant, rude, unethical, and unprofessional. Kind of like crooked politicians that know that they are protected by the "system". Not just with hospital staff, but with families. Weekly drama. They don't even like each other. A day is soon coming when healthcare workers who have lost their jobs for speaking up, been blackballed from hospital systems, or stayed silent watching persistent ethics violations will be coming forward in droves. RICO and Crimes against Humanity is going to claim a lot of these healthcare providers and their system. My prayer of seeing justice as a patient advocate is being answered.
