The attending physician and I have completely different approaches to managing critical patients and we've never directly addressed it, so now the nurses don't know whose lead to follow and I can see them getting caught in the middle of our unspoken conflict. We're both too proud to bring it up but it's affecting patient care.
More people experience this than they realize.
You and another doctor won't talk out your differences, and the nurses are stuck in the middle.
