I didn't get blamed for anything and even got a week of recovery time for the stress of it (plus I had a fever the next day when I met with muckymucks). They'll try to encourage the surgeon to leave willingly (he's done worse) but will then take steps to get rid of him, which they can do but it will take time. I will not have to work with him again, and he will have no say in anyone's surgery rotation grades.AlexisARhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09797016673203467911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6485729541580426717.post-82659865314510040272016-07-24T04:32:48.444-07:002016-07-24T04:32:48.444-07:00Wow... that really sucks.

You said &quo...By the way, this is awesome writing! You said "This cannot possibly be good." Here is my guess. My guess is it will not be good for the lead surgeon. The preceptor will probably apologize to you for the way the lead surgeon behaved and he may even be disciplined. Even though you were in that room to learn, you learned the wrong way to be a surgeon. Someone probably complained that you were treated abusively. Also the preceptor might know that your father is a doctor and that there are a lot of doctors in your family.<br /><br />Either way, let me apologize for the way that you were treated by the lead surgeon. He should not have called you Baby Bimbo, Princess Anorexia or faecal encephalopathic. This could be a Broadway play called Try Option 3.<br /><br />The players are the third-year medical student (you), the lead surgeon, the nurses, the surgical technician (also called O.R. tech. or Lisa or Ms. Herman), senior resident, assisting surgeon & others.<br /><br />For people like me who do not know the lingo, a laparotomy is a surgical procedure involving a large incision through the abdominal wall to gain access into the abdominal cavity, encephalopathy means disorder or disease of the brain, feces or faeces are the solid or semisolid metabolic waste from an animal's digestive tract, discharged through the anus or cloaca during a process called defecation and thyroidectomy is the removal of all or part of your thyroid gland that is located at the base of the neck. False accusations are all over in society and one of the commandments are against them.Chuck Bluesteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01291807414895185920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6485729541580426717.post-73006742264844932592016-07-23T04:30:57.887-07:002016-07-23T04:30:57.887-07:00Alexis, unless there's something really big th...Alexis, unless there's something really big that you haven't mentioned, you haven't done anything wrong and nothing bad is going to happen. I haven't any idea why your preceptor feels it's so very urgent to meet with you, but again, you surely are not in trouble. <br /><br />Do something that will help you to relax. Call me if you need to talk. Play the piano or violin or cello. Don't worry about the noise disturbing Matt. If the downstairs is too smelly and it makes you feel nauseated, wake Matt up and tell him I said to clean the kitchen and get rid of the pizza boxes and beer bottles NOW. Or wake Matt up just because you need to talk to someone in person. He owes you.<br /><br />I would tell you to go to sleep, but I understand that it would be futile. Just TRY to relax.<br /><br />I'll be anxiously waiting to hear about just what it was your preceptor felt to be so urgent that she would text you after 1:00 a.m., but it cannot possibly be anything serious that anyone thinks you did. And I cannot stress strongly enough, PLEASE be cautious in publishing information about where and when you are going to be.<br /><br />Love,<br />MomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
