Getting along with the "difficult" physician.

Satisfactory relationships between physicians and nurses are of vital importance to effective patient care. In fact, physician-nurse relationships even have been related to numbers of patient injuries in the hospital. Understanding the etiology of physician-nurse communication patterns and having a working knowledge of strategies to utilize when a "difficult" physician is encountered can facilitate physician-nurse communication. Positive communication can promote the development of healthy physician-nurse relationships.

The difficult doctor.

Nurses in the operating room may find themselves in interpersonal conflict with difficult doctors. It is important to remember that the relationship may be influenced by patterns of thinking and behavior learned in childhood, in one's culture, and through the professional socialization and education process. The nurse may be able to improve communication by assessing the difficult doctor's interaction, using approaches that will elicit cooperation, timing approaches strategically, avoiding approaches that will precipitate defensiveness, and using direct approaches.
