Doctors Admit To Unprofessional Behavior In Study At 3 Chicago Hospitals

Working in a real hospital isn’t usually as dramatic as is portrayed in TV shows likeGrey’s Anatomy or House, MD, but a new study has identified unprofessional behaviors to which hospital-based doctors most frequently admit, including badmouthing fellow doctors and finding medical excuses to get out of having to care for patients.
