    How nervewracking. Hopefully the meeting goes better than expected.

      Good luck tomorrow. Collectively we have a lot of experience, and just know that we are here for you. The medical life is a freaking roller coaster!!!!!!

        Good luck. I hope the meeting turns out ok. I, like the others, think he should get out if he can. I know it's not easy & not pretty but it sounds like he's being set up to fail where he is.

              Just wanted to thank all of you. They're threatening dismissal, so numb and in shock, been crying for the last two hours. My husband talked with another attending who was completely outraged by what they're trying to do to him and said he will try and talk some sense into the director, also my husband's cheif resident is also completely dumbfounded. Basically since the incident that happened last year with the crazy female chief resident the director has been watching him. The director was basically just yelling and yelling at him, my husband asked sir what do you plan on doing, on dismissing me? And the guy said yeah probably I'm going to the medical education board to see my next step, I'll let you know when I make my decision (in a very mean, and irational manner). My husband's chief basically said that the director has had it in for him since the first incident and he hadn't even started urology yet. Anyway we are in the tear filled process of trying to plan out next move. If any of you have had any experience with this I would appreciate your advice. Of course they're so worried about my husband, but not enough to pull him off call this weekend, and I should add that my husband is in the middle of a four week straight call. Anyhow even if the director changed his mind we can't stay, they'll just do the same thing next year and I can't take this roller coaster. This is so unreal, we're contacting lawyers tomorrow,but we have no idea what to do. We of course want to make a move before a dismissal happens. ughhh more tears coming...

                  I'm so sorry. It sounds like you are doing all the right things in 1) talking to a lawyer and 2) being realistic that you need to get out of there.



                  I wish there was something I could do - let us know if there is.

                        I would collect character references (and a letter from his current chief) as insurance...just in case. I am so sorry you are both facing this. *hugs*

                          Listen to everything Vanquisher tells you.

                          FWIW, don't be surprised if those who say "I don't understand" now, don't have the guts to stand behind your dh when the PD decides to put his foot down. Especially those still in training. Hopefully the other attending will help.

                          I'm sorry. Very sorry.

                              Wow. I'm so sorry! Dh went through something similar in medical school and it's terrible what some people with power will do to someone just because. Totally messed up. Hang in there.
