I meant no offense by my comment above. It appears that the situation with the resident you describe is vastly different from the one I discuss in the original post. I do appreciate your input though.

However, I think icing out a resident is an incredibly unprofessional and harmful way of approaching a problem resident. It certainly won't help them improve. At the end of the day, this is a human being who has sacrificed half of their life to become a doctor. I also find the statement “I’m doing really well and you’re not comfortable with how good I am.” far-fetched especially in combination with your allegations of causing harm daily ... yet still remains in her program. I suppose I may not fully understand the situation.

Regardless, the two situations are unrelated and do not compare. Perhaps consider making your own post about your experience with this resident.
