I have personally met cardiologists who are wacko. My favourite was
the one who wasn't aware his wife had checked the wrong box on a blood
donation for her own surgery. When the blood wasn't "released" by the
blood bank, he assumed she had some terrible disease, stormed down
there, demanded this that and the other, so upset as to be incoherent
to anyone not aware of the situation, and so terrified a secretary she
thought he was a madmad off the street and called 911.
And then there was the one who got a subungal hemorrhage (read:
painful collection of blood under the fingernail). He fainted when
they drained it, and looked so pale and out of it, someone did an EKG
(this was in an ER). Well, the EKG had changes possibly indicating an
inferior wall MI some time in the past (i.e. Q waves in II, III, and
F). He looked at his EKG, after he woke up, and fainted dead away,
again and wouldn't leave the ER until someone broke the lock on the
echo room and he did an echocardiogram on himself and saw that
inferior wall move.
Then there was the guy who always screamed that the nurses "bought
their degrees" (weren't really nurses, they were so incompetant)
during every cath.
The one who informed a family their father was "toast" (good as dead).
The one who strangled an intern, a very good one, I might add.
The one who became so outraged about other doctor's care on our
teaching rounds, he would make us all pause while he wrote them an
angry note, then decide "they weren't worth it" and tear it up, moving
onto the next patient and starting all over again. (The was the
cardiologist who invented the term "pre-load" and was a very high
mucky-muck).
The one who thought that they ought to put Beta-blockers in the water
to make all the hysterical women less hysterical.
And the one who kept three buckets of disinfectant in his trunk, and
whenever he left the hospital, he'd open his trunk and dip his hands,
sequentially, into the buckets. If you were riding with him, he would
graciously insist you, too, dip away before getting in his car.
