Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
I'm retiring in 2 months. The respect I have, among my colleagues, except our gawdawful medical director is amazing. I have a huge question about how to proceed--see the story, comment and give me suggestions.
I am nearly 60 yo. I joined this nationwide corporate practice in 2007. The medical director of our local part of the practice left about 4 years ago. She was medical director for 18 years before it all blew up for her...she now makes double the income and is still my friend, and I got advice from her within the last hour. She is in the same career, in a different part of the country. She says I need to report stuff, but what to report?
I was on call with a resident last weekend. Within one hour of our time together, this resident shared the following:
She was deathly afraid of this rotation, because of our current medical director (a bully), but mainly because she heard through "the grapevine" that he stalked a medical student--followed her to her home. This resident was fearful that she would be on call with him overnight and would be subject to predatory behavior. Fortunately for her that was not the case-he scheduled himself to no night call-another issue.
I shared what this resident told me with my former medical director and she said--report to corporate compliance. But this is rumor based with no facts.
Understand that this man is a bully in every way. 5 months ago I vowed to never be in a room with him alone, and shared that with someone on the national corporate level, not because of sexual stuff, but because he is a bully. The company stand by their guy, and they have done nothing. I've had shared my concerns with my superiors but nothing has come of it, because it's me vs him, I'm female, have a 12 year history with the company, and he is male, with a 2 year history with the company. Yep, I'm disgusted.
Demographics: I am a 59 yo white female. He is an African national, foreign trained, probably about 40. I'm a former department chair. He was recruited in desparation from a nearby academic institution. HR supports "their guy". I share the demographics for factual information and because I think that might be a factor. Do I know that? No. but I have to wonder about this.
If I hear credible information from trainiees-students and residents (fear of predatory behavior) - should I not report that?
This guy is a pediatrician, but from what I've seen, he's a lazy SOB, and I've been bullied and abused by him. The medical students and residents and my partners see his behavior too.
What would be your game plan? BTW, I have nothing to lose-no pension, no severance-nothing from the company I'm leaving. I want to save my colleagues and many medical students and nurses from this loser.
All suggestions are welcome.
