How many assholes do you encounter in an average week?
As a percentage of all encounters, roughly how many do you think were assholes? And what’s your specialty? Trying to gauge if I am above or below the average asshole encounter. Include both patient and coworkers and breakdown how many were for each. So far mine is as follows:
Patients: 30% Coworkers: 15%
Some attendings I know also say they face the same issues, and increasingly among coworkers. Really considering leaving clinical medicine.
Edit: the asshole-encounter pun potential completely slipped my mind.
