Bullying In Medicine
Bullying in the medical profession is common, particularly of student or trainee physicians. It is thought that this is at least in part an outcome of conservative traditional hierarchical structures and teaching methods in the medical profession which may result in a bullying cycle. According to Field, people with Type A personality are attracted to highly educated professions such as medicine and law, both by the pride of overachievement and by the opportunities to exercise authority over others. Personal egotism, reinforced by successes in career development and increased social status, can lead to power harassment towards vulnerable clients, colleagues and students. While the stereotype of a victim as a weak person who somehow deserves to be bullied is salient, there is growing evidence that bullies, who are often driven by jealousy and envy, pick on the highest performing students, whose mere presence is sufficient to make the bully feel insecure. The victim are usua ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Workplace safety in healthcare settings is similar to the workplace safety concerns in most occupations, but there are some unique risk factors, such as chemical exposures, and the distribution of injuries is somewhat different from the average of all occupations. Injuries to workers in healthcare settings usually involve overexertion or falling, such as strained muscles from lifting a patient or slipping on a wet floor. There is a higher than average risk of violence from other people, and a lower than average risk of transportation-related injuries. Aggression in the healthcare Aggression was, in 1968, described by Moyer as "a behaviour that causes or leads to harm, damage or destruction of another organism".
