ABSTRACT
This chapter exposes the challenges faced in the hospital setting due to physician burnout and disruptive physician behavior. Physicians are the pivot of the healthcare team, and such a behavior or lack of up-to-date knowledge on current management protocols can heavily impact the healthcare system. In addition, physician behavior affects the working of the ancillary staff as a whole team in a healthcare setting. This chapter highlights the consequences of physician behavior of physicians, patients, and hospital team and the ways to improve for better patient care and safety.
