Wasn't my intention - I figured it was harmless, since I didn't post a pic or a dating profile of the OP, but I do understand and I apologize.
While doing a 3rd year rotation in Anesthesiology, I did notice some general disconnect and disrespect for the attending I had. He was the only one in a small community hospital (IM residency). He was solid, a great teacher and very bright. Probably my best rotation because of him. He knew the business side of the job, and that is why he was still around - he was making a good amount and having to put up with a tolerable amount of BS. The OR staff loved him, the nurses and CRNAs in general loved him. The surgeons respected him. He was a very bright person who commanded respect. Oddly, it was the medicine physicians and the administration who had some contempt for him (using terms like "Gas Passer" and just being difficult administratively). He told me when the next contract comes up, if he sees a reduction in salary and/or an increase in the amount of work/BS he has to deal with, he's gone and will head elsewhere. I don't know the full details that he had to go through (I didn't care to get involved in all the administrative BS a medical student), but it just seemed ridiculous.
