What should I do about my job?

Begin to memorialize any unpleasant contact between you and this Dr, just for the file, but be careful to be accurate, to cite dates, times and witnesses. When you have accumulated a sufficient pile, or as soon as he initiates any disciplinary proceeding against you, produce your notes.

It sounds like you are in a tough spot, to say the least. In addition to the documentation that @dpworkin suggests, I would request a meeting with him with a supervisor or hospital administrator present and confront him with what he has said about you. Make sure you have a record of that meeting as well. (Perhaps if there is an administrator that you trust, you mgiht talk to them in private about the situation first.) I also feel it would be beneficial for you to get some short term counseling on handling stress and confrontation. This sounds like a way too difficult situation to handle without getting some support. I empathize with you. If all else fails, put out some feelers; it may be that there is a similar job somewhere with a less difficult personnel situation.

This is why I figured that some things are worth more than money, and I made that decision around the 6th grade. Sure, I get stressed, but anything that happens at work is pretty much forgotten within minutes of hitting the time clock and fucking off down the road.

However, if you are addicted to the paycheck and/or “wearing golden handcuffs” then your options are a bit more limited. Probably the best option is to work on your ego. I’m not saying to be cocky to the point of arrogance, but when you know you’re right, that gives you enough self-confidence to dismiss the opinions of others who are clearly wrong. Of course, it’s a fine line between self-confident and arrogant so you have to be a little careful…

Some psychological counselling to work on stress management, assertiveness training and to build and help you maintain your self esteem would be very beneficial to you.

You have invested in your education and succeeded. You need to invest in yourself to enable you to thrive in this challenging work environment.

I support @dpworkin‘s ideas concerning documenting the doctor’s inappropriate behaviour.

I have amber resin in the workplace…in a small wooden box. sniff it. great aromatherapy.
relieves stress and gives mental clarity. helps you make it through the day.

A professional worker will ignore pretty much all kinds of intervention. You should explain the ‘real situation’ if the offender and their allies come to you for clarification(or to mock you). Stand out of problems that aren’t part of your job/responsibility. Don’t try to fight them face to face or you will severe the reputation of this hospital(employee friendliness scandal).

Be proud of your job,don’t be afraid about patients bad behaviors,they’re,however,the source of money for you,and for the hospital. You just work to sustain yourself there.
