| | How to Confront a Domineering Physician | | by Brittney Maxfield |
|
| | We have two new young surgeons on our team. One of them is quite rude during morning rounds. He questions and challenges my treatments and diagnoses in a very rude manner. His negative attitude has leached onto the other surgeon. Last week, they both attacked me verbally in front of students, interns, clients, and staff. They were loud, aggressive, and accusatory. I attempted to respond to their concerns. I am pretty angry at them. They behave like bullies, and it's taking a toll on my mental health. I need to address this to promote a safe working environment. Any tips and tricks would be greatly appreciated.
Signed,
Bullied

| | | | Bullying isn’t unique to healthcare, but there are many things about the healthcare environment that proliferate bullying behaviors, such as high-stakes situations, rigid power differentials, and challenging schedule demands. And while bullying is harmful everywhere, it has devastating impacts in healthcare.
According to our study Silence Kills, half of all nurses and four out of five physicians in our survey said they work daily with a colleague who breaks rules, makes mistakes, fails to offer support, or appears critically incompetent. However, only one in ten speak up when facing these kinds of concerns—and far fewer speak up when the concern is with a physician. The most alarming finding is that people’s failure to speak up when they have these concerns is highly related to quality of care, employee morale, productivity, and retention.
