In a new study, patients of surgeons who had been reported for unprofessional behavior in the last 36 months were more likely to have a range of complications -- including infections, stroke, heart attack, and more.
Unprofessional behavior included poor or unsafe practices in the operating room, disrespectful communication with coworkers, and failure to follow through on expected professional responsibilities, such as signing verbal orders.
Compared to patients whose surgeons had no reports of unprofessional behavior, those whose surgeons had one to three reports were 18% more likely to have complications, and those whose surgeons had four or more reports were nearly 32% more likely to have complications. The study only observed an association and did not prove cause and effect.
In addition, female surgeons were less likely than male surgeons to get reported for unprofessional conduct, according to the study.
