Excising the “Surgeon Ego”: Progress Made and Paths Forward for Enhancing the Culture of Surgery. Myers, C. G., Lu-Myers, Y., & Ghaferi, A. A. BMJ, Provisionally Accepted.
abstract   bibtex   
Surgical culture is in the midst of a significant change towards a more positive and humanistic culture, in part as a response to both extreme and subtle ego-driven disruptive behavior among surgeons. Accumulating evidence from both the medical and organizational sciences demonstrates substantial negative consequences for ego-driven behavior in complex work environments such as surgery. Considerably more research and systematic exploration of ways to further reduce ego-driven behavior in the practice of surgery are needed.
