How Do You Manage Unruly Colleagues/Partners?
Medscape & WebMD blog posted by anesthesiologist (Chief Medical Officer/President of World-Docs, Inc.) blogger Michael D. Sornson MD (drmike); Blog: Chronicles of Anesthesia; Anesthesia Sphere; Title: How Do You Manage Unruly Colleagues/Partners?
Exposed to unruly colleagues/partners . . . one would think as adults/physicians, awarded the highest level of diplomacy within our specialty that our childhood years of pranks would be far in the past . . . but, oh, no! How do you manage these colleagues, as they may still be some of the best clinicians within your department? Often we ask ourselves, "If we replace them . . . what problems/who next do we inherit?" and so complacency sets in. http://boards.medscape.com/forums?128@610.qKdMaLVjgR4@.2a37656f!comment=1

We as anesthesia providers work in stressful situations . . . often our nerves wear thin . . . . On Thanksgiving Day to take a moment to remember and thank our colleagues . . . . We often forget a simple "Thank You" is called for and often overlooked . . . . We'd like to hear comments from the Anesthesia Sphere as to when your staff came to your rescue and/or thanks was given.
