title: Staff revolt opens the way for new ED doc group.
abstract: Here's any ED manager who proved the truth of the old adage: "It's always darkest before the dawn." After all of his staff resigned, he successfully created his own democratic ED physician group. To successfully resolve staff/administration conflicts: discuss the situation candidly with administration and point out the costs of failing to resolve the situation; understand the motivations of your staff: what they want and don't want, and who is on which side of the issue; if needed, rely on your relationships with ED physicians in the community who are not currently on your staff.
