health care administration, healthcare industry, office conflictAbstract
Erik Mills is a third-year dental student with a dilemma. After spending weeks treating his patient under the supervision of Dr. Alberts, he is told to stop the current treatment plan by another supervising attending. Dr. Bell. It is well known that Dr. Bell and Dr. Alberts hate each other. As Erik struggles to maintain composure in front of the patient, he can't help but wonder if he, and his patient, are just two monkeys in the middle of these feuding docs.
