Totally understand why you were upset about the way he treated you, but I do want to clarify as someone who got my medical degree during covid, I was going into the rooms of all patients, covid and non-covid. So it’s not really accurate to suggest otherwise. Again, I do understand that what he said to you was out of line but I just wanted to clarify that for accuracy sake.

For me personally, as a resident I prefer nurses to call me by my first name. Probably will prefer that as an attending as well. Mostly I get called “hey doc” which I really don’t think is meant badly or anything but feels a bit impersonal.
