Abstract
Interdisciplinary conflict around ethical issues is an important problem. This article addresses some of the myths and stereotypes that hamper collaboration and suggests five reasons for interdisciplinary conflicts around care of the critically-ill patient that stem from professional training and socialization. These include differences in clinical judgment style, differences in calculating and valuing patient survival, differences in information from the patient and family, differences in perceptions of potential legal repercussions, and different views of patient advocacy and patient autonomy. The author concludes by making suggestions for changes in education and practice.
