Stereotypes exist for a reason.
Docs treating people who work with them like shit? Catch me while I faint from surprise.
And that stuff rolls downhill.
It is all usually out of the view of the patients, but when you are on the inside it happens all the time. Surgeons are the worst.
btw, if you want to see real abuse you can look at the restaurant industry.
The Bear gives me anxiety just watching it. It seems what they show is representative.
I have been watching some MasterChef shows from other countries. These are old episodes. When you look up the Judges and experts who participate you will see over and over again where they have had scandals for the way they treat staff and underpay. Many have had to close down.
If your from Australia Shannon Bennett looks like he got booted out of Vue De Monde. Sold his interest.
High-caste soaked in India’s cheating culture goes nuts on all the lesser non-humans she has to work with. How extraordinarily usual.
Unfortunately, the medical field is replete with megalomaniacs who really believe they are better than everyone else and irreplaceable. I worked with a doctor like this back in the 1980’s. He treated his staff like chattel.
I remember a few years ago an Indian researcher at MD Anderson was investigated for submitting false data by the 2 Indian lab assistants who worked under him. He treated them like indentured servants making them work 7 days a week and 10-12 hours a day so they blew him in.
18 years ago I was diagnosed with stage four melanoma. I had decided that if surgery wouldn’t take care of it (it did) I would go to MD Anderson since I was told that they were the only hospital who could treat melanoma successfully. I did have the surgery, took the PET scan and was declared cured. I’m glad that I didn’t go. Sounds awful.
Huh?
You mean, she felt upset because she was yelled at?
And that requires "emergency" treatment?
I worked on the research side of things back in the day, at MD Anderson, among other places. My boss there was one who would sneak up behind you, put his hands on your back, peer over your shoulder and pretend to look at the work in front of you, but really be looking down your blouse. Oh, and he plagiarized his work. I quit after two months. I wasn’t his first female lab tech he did this with. Probably wasn’t his last. HR was catching on, though. Too little too late.

Put ALL your faith in the Great Physician, Jesus Christ. He is our healer. The medical system is run by satan.
This article prompts me to report that not all cancer treatment centers are the same. One in particular which I wish to highlight is the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. Today my wife and I visited briefly with our daughter, Lora, who was on her way with her husband back to their home to Norfolk, Virginia. Lora just completed some 30 plus colorectal cancer treatments at the Mayo Clinic. Please see https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/4224957/posts?page=26 for previous prayer requests for Lora. Again, a big thank you for all who offered their healing prayers. Lora was in surprisingly good spirits. She had lost a lot of weight, but she still had most her the hair on her head and was able to ride in a car on the journey from Rochester back to Norfolk. She had only great things to say about the care she received at Mayo and lauded the staff for their intensive professional attention to all her needs. While Minnesota and Minneapolis are certainly not immune from the scourge of wokeism, it appears not to have infected the Mayo Clinic. Lora said they had the latest state of the art equipment staffed with considerate professionals who knew on to use it. This is at least one instance of good news and hope today in the medical treatment field of oncology. There will be a wonderful homecoming celebration awaiting Lora when she and her husband, three kids, and two dogs welcome her back home again this evening,
Way to many dot heads are running OUR Healthcare institutions
I have no idea what this is about but if you are so sensitive as to need a hospital emergency room because you had a panic attack when your boss gave you a tune up you are the problem.
You have no business being in the medical profession, perhaps you should seek employment in the fast food or house cleaning industry.
The term 'threatening statements' is meaningless and could mean anything from, "I'm going to kill you" to "your a dumb ass."
A few things...
- in any field, there will always be a certain number of people in positions of power who are narcissistic abusive a-holes
- in every field today, there is an increasing number of spoiled unprepared selfish slackers and complainers
- the entitlement culture has made blaming others rather than accepting personal responsibility the norm
- social media has given the latter type an unprecedented number of ways to spread their negativity
- diversity (aka “our strength”) also has brought in an increasing number of doctors and other professionals who grew up in different cultures and have different expectations of those who work for them. (The Indian caste system, and Muslim attitudes toward women for example)
I’m a patient at MD Anderson for almost 10 years. Padmanee Sharma married Dr. Allison, who won the Nobel Prize for Medicine because of his invention of immunotherapy for the treatment of certain types of cancer.
She is kind of a bitch, but she is married to Allison. The researcher who wants the credit for her own work is standing up for he rights for the credit of her work. Her work might be subject to getting a patent, and she rightly wants her own name on it so she can collect the royalties.
I’ll just leave it at that.
Generally speaking, the nursing and support staff are the real heroes and care-givers. There are fantastic surgeons out there, no matter what the institution. These are the people you have to seek out if you need them.
I just left the hospital Saturday night after two scheduled procedures under general anesthesia that kept me in there overnight. The results so far are fantastic, as I’m already doing much better than expected. Nursing staff was wonderful and the surgeon knew his stuff.
I live in rural NE Texas, and the healthcare system I deal with is UTHealth, which is run by University of Texas Health Science Center. I’ve never waited for more than five minutes for an emergency room visit, and the care my wife and I received all these years from them has been top notch. However, I can’t say the same for some of my relatives who live in the Houston area and ended up in Houston’s “Medical Center.” I get the impression those facilities are just training centers for people who may or may not cut it in the medical field.
