Working with arsehole doctors

BMJ talk medicine

You’re on the ward round. Doctor shouts at med student. What happens next? Join medical students Laura and Ryhan, newly qualified doctor Chidera, and Simon Fleming, orthopod reg and founder of #HammerItOut - which is a campaign to stop bullying in the NHS. We also have an interview with Anne Stephenson - GP, who teaches undergraduate medical students professionalism at Kings College London.. We’ve all met doctors and med students on placement who we just can’t stand - or who make us feel >this< small. But, for the sake of our patients, we will have to work in teams with those doctors, and we’ll have to do it well. How can we work with people like that, and who do we talk to if we see behaviour we think is just plain wrong? What can we do if we suspect we’re the one being an arsehole?
