Why are surgeons *less* likely to speak up even though they encounter *more* microaggressions as they become more senior?
Excellent, nuanced, and PRACTICAL @AmCollSurgeons podcast from @pringlmillermd @heisler_md and @LillianErdahlMD.

'...kindness is not a courtesy but a clinical discipline and form of leadership...Kindness under pressure is not instinctive; it is chosen.'
Highly recommend this wise and work-relevant article from the excellent Carlton Irving.

@Burnt2020 @LiangRhea @urethroplasty I really think the #OperateWithRespect program has worked really well in Australia.
Bad behaviour is not tolerated anymore in most hospitals.
Certainly where I work you simply can’t behave badly in the operating theatre.
And not in mine.
@LiangRhea Goodness that’s not my experience.
No one I work with gives me any concerns.
My main surgeon @urethroplasty is a dedicated and kind surgeon but so are all my regulars.
Clearly problems with this group.

Yikes. 😱
'Surgeons... described anesthesiologists... lacking dedication, continuity of care, and equal ownership of patients. Anesthesiologists... described surgeons... not recognizing anesthesiologist expertise...

Another RCT showing the negative effect of poor workplace culture on performance. Medical students witnessing video evidence of disrespect towards another medical student subsequently performed worse on an academic task.

@VSTMMJJ @maffygirl Coz we're the bossy bootses that lift other women. Not all women are like that, sadly. I was only last week fielding an #OperateWithRespect query about a department where one woman has undermined multiple junior women colleagues because she's a bit too fond of being 'the first'.
Greg 'gotta bury the body' Malham also practised for years at Epworth. To me, the obvious next question is- how many other surgeons at Epworth are 'open secrets' to their colleagues? 🤔

These revelations about an Epworth Hospital surgeon’s alleged malpractice against many women with chronic pelvic pain, over a long period of time, suggest a catastrophic failure of our health system.
Patients place their trust in our health professionals. They deserve best practice care and effective, conscientious oversight by hospitals, colleges, and the healthcare regulator, AHPRA.
My deepest sympathy goes to the brave women who have not received that care. The Epworth Hospital and AHPRA must be held to account for their apparent failure to keep these women safe.

This anon account, and apparent surgeon-to-be, is highly problematic. He has publicly criticized a colleague who is vulnerable due to power differential. He is disparaging about communication skills, devoid of compassion, ignorant of wellbeing. #OperateWithRespect. 🤨

This med student:
1. Doesn't show up on time (WAS ONE HOUR LATE TO ROUNDS, TWICE)
2. Doesn't see 2 patients when given ONE HOUR AND THIRTY MINUTES
3. Doesn't present coherently
4. Doesn't listen to basic instructions
5. Doesn't work on the list
6. Doesn't communicate when she will be gone, and just LEAVES the hospital mid day when given a task
7. Asks US to notify HER when a case is starting
8. Interrupts attendings and residents when they're talking. Frequently.
9. Literally asked her to scrub a case today and she said okay and didn't scrub it without telling anyone.
10. Is actually unteachable.
11. Started randomly eating a granola bar mid instruction for a task?????? hello????
I'm straight up wondering if I can kick her off the service. You want to be an anesthesiologist and can't even be bothered to show up on time or communicate????? At least TRY????
A lecture about the sizing of hip joint replacements making a totally unnecessary comparison to breast sizes. This is appalling sexism in surgery. 🤨

We didn't have to wait long to find out, did we? ''I'll take 'women' for 50 points again, thanks Bob'.
Dear Meirion, racism, sexism, and badmouthing colleagues isn't accepted here anymore. #OperateWithRespect 💪

Two important points from @ByChelcie-
1. If you do not feel safe, you do *not* have to speak up. Safety comes first
2. There is no rush. Please seek support and advice, and decide on next actions that are right for *you*

Thoughts please #MedTwitter #MedEd. What do you *do* (actions) when you have a senior colleague with suspected cognitive decline? I'm interested in #OperateWithRespect options that maintain privacy and dignity while avoiding 'walking past until reputation-ruining crisis'. 🤔

😱😱😱
We need to do so much more towards healthcare workplace respect.
@RACSurgeons did #OperateWithRespect
Doctors will be covered if the @abetterculture curriculum is implemented
I'm hoping there must be similar projects under way in other healthcare professions? 🙏
Re-upping this study from @JasonHarley07 and team. What happens when surgery residents witness harassment in simulation? A lot of *not* speaking up 🤔.
The reasons why (or why not) provide important considerations for #CultureChange.

This pic of the RACSTA (@RACSurgeons Trainee Association) Committee makes me very happy. This is the future of surgery.

It is LITERALLY #IWD2025 today, with the theme #RightsEqualityEmpowerment and we still have to put up with this. In Australia. In 2025. In plain view.

@ProperStewart Sorry, rant over 🤣
But I really do feel quite strongly about avoidable harms in pursuit of #OperateWithRespect. We've been doing this for 9 years already, we should be taking less blunt and more nuanced approaches by now!
