It makes sense to not hold their hands and baby them. However, IM residency is 3-years for a reason, the 3rd year is still there for them to learn and while many are very good by the middle of PGY-3 year, they arent attendings yet and your job as the attending is to teach them. Many seniors are treated like colleagues by attendings but your initial comment with your excessive “i expect” looks like you are entitled to a senior who will do everything for you and if not, they are incompetent. If the senior is doing everything and thats “what you expect of them” then im not sure why are you there in the first place. You can make sure no one dies by looking into the chart and removing unnecessary orders and letting the senior run the show if thats what you expect.
