    Jerk Best Resident.

    Now, add a P to Resident and ask the same question…

    @LuFins-Dad LOL.

    In the poll, there is at least one interesting response: "Neither. Start over."

    I would ask, "Jerk to whom, patients or colleagues?"

    However, the results:

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      Best is a qualifier that would override jerk or empathetic. They need to use their words more carefully.

      Education is extremely important.

          I’d take the competent jerk. Chances are he or she may will always maintain competency and skill and, as a bonus, might even mellow out over time and become less of a jerk.

          On the other hand neither affable empathy with good thoughts and prayers will ever deal with treating a medical emergency or life threatening illness.

            @Renauda I agree. Purely from a business/risk standpoint, I'd never hire someone whom I see as a potential liability, regardless of how "nice" s/he is.

              There's also a fairly decent chance that the 'empath' is a jerk deep down. In my experience they frequently are, so then you get the worst of both worlds.

              I was only joking

                I found it a bit ironic that a surgeon was calling out another surgeon for being a "jerk."

                  Both are flawed choices. But I’d go for the better surgeon.

                    The one with the biggest tits.

                    They’ll end up, after a lot of drama, with the same formula they use every time they have a trifecta: take away health care and food assistance from low income families and use the money to fund tax cuts for their donors.

                      I haven't thought about that joke in years.

                        He has a point. The hirer is unlikely to ever use the surgical skills. The tits are another matter entirely.
