We are often yelled at. Objects are thrown at or around us, and charts are slammed in front of us. We are insulted personally and professionally about our abilities.
Some physicians yell, sometimes in public, while shaking a finger in the nurse's face.
Even more insulting is not being acknowledged, or addressed by our names. Our efforts to resolve these problems with our managers have been unsuccessful because we are viewed as expendable. We are sometimes told that the offending physician has personal problems, or that he or she was up all night. And sometimes our managers will say we have personal deficiencies that they didn't notice previously - flaws that elicit such treatment. Whatever immediate ailment she might have, she would quickly have to be transferred to the cardiac ward.
