Today our hospital director [and apparently very rich doctor] rented out a room at Flemings steakhouse for dinner and fed all of the students, residents, and some local doctors. we all got off at 5:30 and were expected to be at dinner at 6:30 [we didnt have a choice, we had to go...i guess i cant complain since it was probably around $80 a person and it was an incredible meal]. he does this once a month and one of the residents told us he drops like $2,500-4,000 a month on it. his own personal money. kinda ridiculous.
kinda of an odd moment is when he had his lawyer friend talk to us for 45 minutes about how to avoid being sued, " because lets face it, most of you will be."
apparently its inevitable?
his first piece of advice: "don't fuck up."
his second piece of advice: "have a good bed side manner and even if you dont care, make your patient think you do. patients do like to sue doctors they like."
life lesson learned. thanks?
