That letter from the anesthesiologist is unbelievable. I'm a physician and come from a family of physicians and other healthcare workers (6 docs, 1 RN, 1 NP, and the black sheep JD.) The general consensus in my family is that most frustrating clinical problem is not a matter of competence or treatment but rather it is dealing with other professionals with shitty social skills. I would much rather work with an affable mid level who will come to me with appropriate consults versus a clinically competent asshole MD who makes my day that much more stressful due to his personality.
