An African-American intern in general surgery at Ohio State who recently graduated from Stanford has had a sleepless night on call in the surgical ICU, you are the Medical Manager for Surgery and you are responsible for the overall well being of the interns and new surgeons. The African American intern expresses that he received a call from a senior resident who assigns a new admission to him stating that "you'll understand this poor, black woman from the hills of Kentucky better than I." The Intern has come to discuss this with you.

1. What do you think that the resident is implying to the Intern?

Is the resident simply dumping an unwanted patient on the Intern?

2. How do you advise the Intern to respond to the resident? Meaning what are the words you would use (written out in a skit format). This type of communication helps you to think about how you word something before speaking it. Thinking a out what is. The approach that may be
effective.

Is there any HR concern or concept that is important to point out based on what you found in your textbook or power point that should be emphasized?
