Thursday morningthe internist received the radiologist's written X-ray report with a diagnosis of "probable bronchogenic carcinoma."

Scenario:
A manager who reports to the Vice President for Clinical Affairs (VPCA) of a tertiary-care hospital hired a young woman to supervise development of a large community outreach program. During the first four months of her employment, several behavioral problems came to the VPCA's attention:
(1) complaints from community physicians that the coordinator criticizes other physicians in public;
(2) concerns from two community leaders that the coordinator is not truthful; and
(3) written reports about the project that label and blame others, sometimes in language that is disrespectful.
The VPCA spoke several times to the manager about these problems. The manager reported other dissatisfactions with the coordinator's performance, but he showed no sign of dealing with the behavior. Two more complaints come in, one from an influential community leader.
2. How should the VPCA handle this conflict with the manager?
