let me add that I believe this MS MD to be temporary. I believe he is being romanced to a NYC hospital. I dont believe he will stay in this place, and they may replace him with someone more reasonable. its a "my way, or the highway" kinda guy.

I am normally quite good at standing up for myself, but occassionally I run into someone I just cant/wont confront. This man is one of them. It doesnt matter how eloquent your arguement nor your rationale, he has feet of cement and wants you to know that he doesnt need to understand you, its YOU that needs to hear him.

Its so much easier just to go sit in his chair, and say Yep, all is well...thank you. have a nice day, and move on. In the next few months I am expecting him to be replaced. its the far away hospital, and....

why is this so hard? what is it about that man that makes me wanna just shut up? he is aggressive, and pushy. He is brilliant, but his bedside manner is scary!
