He would deliberately find excuse to 'kenakan' new HOs in the department (seriously!). His mood is like a playground see-saw, happy at one spectrum and a nuclear bomb at the other! He even admitted his mood swings and sometimes apologized for it.
My first incident with him was when I had my case note flung to the floor in PAC. I think he was angry with me for not writing well (I don't really remember now).
My second, when I scrubbed up for an emergency C-sec and I couldn't get through to the Peds MO oncall for standby. Baby came out flat, blue alert was called and he was furious with me throughout the whole closing of the patient's ab.
I've seen him calling up HOs for not filling in certain forms or writing in a style he didn't like. There was a time he told us he would find faults in the case note just so that he could find an excuse to scold a HO.
Well that was the worst of him.
On the bright side, after the blue-alert event, he did tell me nicely what I did wrong after I approached him and told him how sorry I am and that it was a mistake. He advised me not to take it personally as he just can't control himself at times and to learn from my mistakes.
He also thought some stuff in the labor room like what to look for in the CTG and during vaginal exams.
During my last few days of O&G, he gave me a chance to do a C-sec with him thus getting a very much needed C-sec performance in my logbook.
Much of the scoldings and the bullyings though unwarranted most times do sometimes provide the much needed eye-opener. And bad guys are not always bad (though they may be on the bad side of the spectrum).
He is still in the department and from what I hear from other HOs he is still the time-bomb he was when I was in O&G. But I do hope he does well and cool down a bit.
Well that's life.
Tips: Ambil yang baik, buang yang buruk, bersyukur.
