surgeon who inspired an entire OR
staff to sign a "Work Refusal Petition."
The vascular surgeon who reached across the table to grab a nurse's breasts.
The physician who impaled an OR nurse's arm with a surgical stapler. The
orthopod who threatened an OR team member with a drill. They're everywhere,
and if you haven't had to face off with a disruptive surgeon yet, you almost
certainly will.
Learn how to do it successfully from the nation's foremost expert at "The
Disruptive Physician Workshop," an OR Excellence pre-conference workshop
led by the nation's foremost expert on troubled surgeons. Meet Kent Neff,
MD, the Portland, Ore. psychiatrist who has treated impaired physicians his
entire career, helping facilities confront their behavior, taking them out of
practice, and getting many of them back into practice as model citizens and
productive surgeons.
Through this eight-hour session you'll learn:
• The patient safety, liability, business and cultural impacts of disruptive
physician behavior and why it must be confronted directly
• The backgrounds and special educational environments that cause
abnormal socialization of physicians
• How to identify disruptive surgeons before their behavior causes a crisis
• Proven intervention techniques—what works and what doesn't
• Identifying and managing the alcoholic/drug-addicted practitioner
• Case studies (please bring your own as well; they'll be presented
anonymously)
• Obstacles in implementation back home
