I've just come off a four night run of working.... I have tonight off then have to work 2 more nights.... During this time I found out my dear friend and co-worker's baby died and I had to attend the viewing just before work last night.... To top all of that off, "Dr. Hostile" as I will now call him was on call last night....
In spite of all of us nurses who were working had just came from our co-worker's baby's viewing, we were able to bind together and make the most out of the busy night and make it through.... That is until Dr. Hostile showed up in the wee hours of the morning for an imminent delivery. He was down right rude, curt and - yes - hostile towards me.... and what had I done to him.... Unless I had accidentally ran over his pet dog on the way to work..... NOTHING!!
He treats me as if I am not good enough to assist his highness. Pheph.
Yes, he was the straw that broke my back last night. And, I'm down right tired of it. I need to find a way to calmly and directly address him about his behavior and attitude and how he can turn what would have and should have been a lovely delivery into a stressful, hostile event.
There is so much in this world that hurts and that is unfair and rightly makes you stressed out... Why make more?

Ugh. So sorry you had such a difficult time. I assume that I know exactly which doctor you are talking about. I thought the two of you had reached a détente. Kind of like being a doula and working with a doc who pretends you're invisible! Hope you are able to have your concerns addressed in a reasonable and professional manner.
