Truly. I have had surgeons get pissy and throw surgical trays at me and other RNs. Somehow I was able to maintain my composure until I got into my manager's office and I started bouncing off the walls. One RN who actually got struck by the tray took it to court. There have to be consequences to bad behavior or they will not change.

(Fortunately the majority of doctors I worked with were excellent doctors and nice people).
