Attending made me cry, then stated that I'm oversensitive
A junior resident came and told me (his senior) "X attending told us that starting tomorrow, clinic will no longer be held at this site on Fridays and all patients must be directed to this other resident clinic". I had not heard this from the attending myself, so I reached out to X attending, stating "my junior (insert name) told me this, I just wanted to confirm it before I inform all the residents"
X attending blasted me. When I say blasted, absolutely blasted. He insisted this was not true at all and not at all what he said to the junior...but he began to blame ME. He accused ME of misrepresenting what he said and told me how bad and irritating I am. All this despite me repeatedly saying "Sir, with all due respect, my junior told me you said this and I just wanted to confirm"
I began to break down on the phone in tears and the attending said "OMG you are crying. You are so oversensitive. I'll have to walk on eggshells around you, and this is why no one is going to like to work with you". I sent him the screenshot where my junior said what he said, and he didn't even apologize and just said "ok, I see the junior was to blame"
Reasons like this make me rethink a career in medicine
