Ugh. That really sucks. Hon, it sounds like you really did try to do your best for the patient (which was clearly noticed by her parents) while dealing with a real jackass intern. I've heard about the internal politics between nurses and doctors... hopefully this twit will learn better because you were right and he was wrong, and it should be about quality patient care, not about anyone's ego.

Moron.

Thank you for agreeing with me. :) The internal politics in medicine are astounding, and medical dramas only begin to capture them.

Is there any way you could have talked to the attending physician in a place where you could have known you would have been out of earshot of anyone else?

The bad politics come from speaking to the attending physician when I disagree with the resident's plan instead of working it out with the resident. It doesn't matter who overhears the conversation.
