Doctor Red Flags From Nurses

“Ask the nurse about the doctor when it’s just them in the room. If they say something vague like, ‘We have very good providers here,’ but don’t specifically say anything about your specific provider, that’s a red flag. If a patient asks about a specific provider I work with and I believe in their competence and concern for patients, I will highlight some of their best qualities as a provider. For example, I’ll say, ‘Dr. X has a natural talent for what they do!’ or, ‘They genuinely care about their patients and are really good!’ This was true when I worked in the ICU before as well as in procedural areas. If they specifically reference the doc, then they probably have at least some good things to say.”

“If they keep it vague to the group of providers, I would ask more detailed questions to feel out if they are dodging answering the question more fully — they probably aren’t going to risk disciplinary action to tell you that the provider is on their ‘Don’t Let This Doctor Ever Treat Me’ list (we all have this list…).”
