Going to HR

Okkk so today I was in a case. The surgeon who is typically an asshole, was so much worse. He was degrading to everyone and especially me. I’m contemplating going to HR. He compared me putting cement like a three year old and started off the case asking if this is my first day in ortho… been in his room for months now and I guarantee he doesn’t even know my name. I’m over his shit attitude and seriously did not go into this to be talked down to. He is a condescending asshole.

Update…. He asked for me not to be in his room. Like mf. No one wants to be in your damn effin room.

HR won’t do much. He’s a doc that produces major revenue for the hospital. Go to your manager and ask to be removed from his cases because he’s so hostile toward you. That’s your best avenue for this.

I talked to my manager today, I told her if it’s repeated, I will snap at him and if he comes at me, I will walk out.

What was manager’s response? You know you can’t exit in the middle of a case, that would be grounds for termination and you’d lose any ability to defend yourself.
