Introducing the latest article in our Clinical Resource Series: “Just Push the Propofol”: Harassment, Incivility, and Disrespect (HID) in Anesthesia by Ed Sutton, MD, CRH Anesthesia Medical Director.
Harassment, incivility, and disrespect (HID) continue to impact anesthesia teams across the country, and new data shows that anesthesia is the most affected specialty for these behaviors. HID can appear subtly or overtly, from microaggressions to withheld information, and the consequences extend far beyond team culture. They affect decision-making, teamwork, and ultimately patient safety.
In this article, Dr. Sutton explores:
✔️ Why anesthesia ranks number one in HID incidents
✔️ How HID undermines patient safety and clinical judgement
✔️ The gender disparities that must be acknowledged
✔️ How systems and hierarchies contribute to the problem
✔️ The urgent need for national awareness and open dialogue
