| Posted almost 6 years ago I usually get along ok with older doctors. It's the young ones I can't stand!!! Always thinking they know everything just because they went to medical school. There is definitely a breaking in period. |

| Posted over 5 years ago You don't have to like the people you work with.....you just have to work with them! After 30 plus years in nursing, I've worked with all kinds of docs. I say, just be nice to 'em, even the difficult ones. |

| Posted over 5 years ago I really have yet to have a problem with a doctor. I just treat them like everyone I work with and I have always been fine with them and I have yet to have one treat me bad. I do hear all the others talk bad about them. We have one that is 23 and just started in our hospital and I seem to be the only person that can talk to him because everyone says he sticks his nose up to them but I have not seen that yet. I guess I am lucky......:) |

| Posted over 5 years ago I find the younger ones easier to work with than the"old school" MDs. Whnen my mom was in nurses' training, they had to stand up when a MD walked into the room! |

| Posted over 5 years ago It is always those interns, that always have to throw their weight around. Don't get me wrong, I am a Unit Secretary, I really have to work with the Doctor's. I hate sloppy hand writing, that I can't transcribe the orders. I hate when I have to hunt a Dr. down to have him sign and date a order. I don't mind hunting a Doctor down to clarify a certain lab order , or to ask them do mean regular orders are stat orders. Some feel they have to use fancy lab orders to get a point across, hello I never heard of this order, can you order something me and nurse can UNDERSTAND!!! I am a proud mother of three beautyful daughter. I currently live in Los Angeles California. I've worked as a heathecare provider for almost 10 years. I am curently in school to pursue my MSN in nursing, and wants to work as a pediactric nurse, in public health. |

| Posted over 5 years ago Yes, I like Doctors. I think that it is amazing how they can save lives. Technology is remarkable. So are they. Surgeions are the most facinating to me, it takes a strong stomach and mind to perform the task that they have to perform when needed to do a job. |

| Posted over 5 years ago chris said: Some of them are ok and others just do not have any personality what so ever. But ive had a few cutties operate on me. In any position of work whether its doctor lawyer whoever you have to have the personality be friendly outgoing, just because you might be higher in standers than others doesnt mean your any better. But to work around people you have to like what you are doing. And if your a doctor and you dont have a very good personality most lkely if they can help it they wont come back. |

| Posted over 5 years ago I think we have some really great docs but unfortuneatly our major hospital won't do anything to keep them. Instead we get the ones who don't give a crap and or think they are God!!!! Why is it we as nurses have to tell them what to do? Did we go to Medical School? Are we getting paid the big bucks? I had one doc who had a pt with a very rare disease that no one in this area ever heard of. Bottom line she needed a transplant which we don't do. I finally wore him down and he told me if I could find a doctor in Pittsburgh to take her he would send her. Thank God for her Insurance Case manager and the office nurse (who I was friends with) Between the 3 of us we got her referred but it was to late she died one day before she was to get on the transplant list!!! |

| Posted over 5 years ago I have really only had a problem with the arrogance of surgeons, particularly when they are in the operating room. I bear a scar to this day from one who threw a crile back at me because I passed it to him upside-down by mistake. In the office venue, doctors are much kinder and more willing to "do for themselves" if they can see that you're actually knocking yourself out to accommodate them. Many that have an office practice are much more family oriented, too. They are likely to realize that you, too, are human. |
