Thanks, Missy. I’ve considered that approach but it’s challenging since I generally am available 24-7 by e-mail or phone and he often knows I’m in the center later than business hours. As medical staff, we generally are responsive to contact even in the evenings. I haven’t replied to his incoming e-mails after 5 PM and have waited till the next day but I occasionally will get the late call in my office.
Since he works closely with leadership and the CMO/CEO of the hospital and will ultimately be signing off on my recredentialing package in another year, I don’t want to blow him off when he reaches out. There’s a power differential and it’s awkward since I want to give a good impression. I don’t want to be viewed as irresponsible by ignoring his calls and he often knows when I’m in my office since he physically passes through my hallway frequently. I thought an e-mail stating that I’m available until x time on weekdays due to patient obligations or certain window periods when I have a lull in clinical volume would be the most straightforward and mature response. Or I can just ask him to reach out early in the work day since my schedule is somewhat unpredictable and chaotic so we can arrange an appropriate time. Like I said, he seems about clueless about professional boundaries so maybe I just have to nudge him in the right direction.
Thanks for the suggestions!
