He definitely caters to a demographic that I'd rather not associate with.dethmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16490177974122552051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6816413964252528093.post-65656888374259315202009-07-25T14:05:40.766-07:002009-07-25T14:05:40.766-07:00Late comment because I'm still catching up on ...Late comment because I'm still catching up on my Google Reader - glad I saved yours to actually read! Thanks for the shout-out. Happy's attitude is one of the reasons I don't read many medical bloggers - arrogant, condescending and patient-bashing (and, in his case, nurse-bashing on top of that).

There is one telling statement in his post where he talks about his attending who appears to have used this classic psychological failing disguised as "Socratic Teaching" on him. He sounds like a crass and thorough ass who endangered his patient by deciding her care was secondary to his need to play Mr. Big Shot with the nurses.Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03195661861205323477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6816413964252528093.post-43206616657826816712009-07-06T18:37:09.328-07:002009-07-06T18:37:09.328-07:00Why yes DM, the DSM-IV code for this is 301.81, Na...Why yes DM, the DSM-IV code for this is 301.81, Narcissitic Personality Disorder. Among other "symptoms" the foremost I see are:<br />A pervasive pattern of grandiosity.<br />Has a sense of entitlement. <br />Requires excessive admiration.<br />Lacks empathy.<br />Is interpersonally exploitative.<br />Shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes.<br /><br />These all came verbatim from the DSM-IV additional information included with the DX of Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Unfortunately the treament indcludes things like therapy, social skills training, behavior modification and learning more effective communication skills. Yeah - they'll get right on that.insuranceguruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07234371413328518694noreply@blogger.com
