Surgery patients are at higher risk of complications if their surgeons were more often reported by colleagues for 'unprofessional behavior', a new study has found
Whether patients have problems after surgery could depend on their surgeons' behavior, a new study suggests.
The study, published Wednesday in the journal JAMA Surgery, found that patients were at higher risk of complications if their surgeons were more often reported by colleagues for"unprofessional behavior" in the three years leading up to the surgery."Having critical things happen at the exact right time is an essential function for those teams," said study author Dr. William O.
"One of the biggest challenges is that the people who are often need that kind of help are the ones who are the least receptive to it," he said.For patients, who typically don't have access to co-worker reports, Cooper said there's a simpler message about finding the right surgeon for them."Patients are uniquely positioned to observe things about their surgeons," he said.
