Being rude to your child’s doctor could lead to worse care

Emotions tend to run high in hospitals, and patients or patients’ loved ones can be rude to medical professionals when they perceive inadequate care.

But berating your child’s doctor could have harmful — even deadly — consequences, according to new research.

The findings by University of Florida management professor Amir Erez and doctoral student Trevor Foulk reinforce their prior research that rudeness has “devastating effects on medical performance,” Erez said.

A Johns Hopkins study estimated that more than 250,000 deaths are attributed to medical errors in the U.S. annually—which would rank as the third-leading cause of death in the U.S., according to statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Some errors could be explained by a doctor’s poor judgment due to a chronic lack of sleep. Those types of circumstances, according to prior research from Erez and Foulk, account for about 10 to 20 percent of the variance in practitioner performance.

The effects of rudeness, Erez said, account for more than 40 percent.

“[Rudeness] is actually affecting the cognitive system, which directly affects your ability to perform,” Erez said. “That tells us something very interesting. People may think that doctors should just ‘get over’ the insult and continue doing their job. However, the study shows that even if doctors have the best intentions in mind, as they usually do, they cannot get over rudeness because it interferes with their cognitive functioning without an ability to control it.”

In a previous study, Erez and Foulk examined the effects of rudeness from a colleague or authority figure on individual medical professionals. This study analyzed team performance and the effects rudeness has when it comes from a patient’s family member.

In the new study, 39 neonatal intensive care unit teams (two doctors and two nurses) from Israel simulated five scenarios where they treated infant medical mannequins for emergency situations such as severe respiratory distress or hypovolemic shock. An actress playing the baby’s mother scolded certain teams while the control groups experienced no rudeness.

Erez and Foulk found that the teams that experienced rudeness performed poorly compared to the control groups. The teams that encountered rudeness were deficient in all 11 of the study’s measures, including diagnostic accuracy, information sharing, therapy plan, and communication, over the course of all five scenarios showing that the negative effects last the entire day.

What a surprise: people don't like being berated, especially in already stressful situations. People don't perform better when they are being yelled at, no matter how professional they try to be. Such a shock.

I wonder if any of those doctors are making undetectable "mistakes" in return for how they are treated by nasty moos. Probably not many, but still

What, you mean people don't want to deal with bitchy Moos? Water is wet, in other news.

Much like you shouldn't treat people who handle your food like shit, you should also not treat people who handle your (or your child's health) the same way. I know bizzy mommies just love to think that sluicing makes them far more knowledgeable in medicine than any doctor with his silly little piece of paper from a silly little school, but bitching at anyone who is providing any sort of a service to you will not, in fact, make them perform better. I don't know if doctors will intentionally offer sub-par care (or even do anything harmful on purpose) to teach screamy mommies a lesson, but it certainly isn't going to make them "do better."

What Moos need to do is shut their holes and let doctors do their jobs. Unless those doctors genuinely do something terrible, there is no reason to berate them. While doctors are usually pretty confident in their abilities, they're still human, and putting any person under unnecessary stress is going to make their performance worse. If Moo is enough of a cunt, her doctor may just fire her. This happens a lot with anti-vax Moos.

Bottom line? SHUT UP, MOOS.
