A spike in rude behavior emerged as one of the pandemic’s many societal consequences and has not receded alongside the public health crisis. The uptick in poor behavior is likely driven by increased stress and isolation from society, The Atlantic’s Olga Khazan reported in 2022. In many cases, these stressors mean people are easily set off when encountering innocuous requests, Keith Humphreys, PhD, a psychiatry professor at Stanford University, told The Atlantic.
The trend has hit healthcare hard. Hospitals and health systems nationwide have reported an uptick in disrespectful, discriminatory, or violent behaviors from patients since the pandemic. Nearly 24 percent of physicians reported experiencing workplace mistreatment in 2020, including verbal mistreatment or abuse, according to a study published in JAMA Network Open.
