As an old, Army dog, I have nothing but the utmost respect for using a chain of command for this sort or situation. The MD's position, pay grade, education, social status, etc...is no excuse for lacking in professionalism or restraint. In fact, the opposite should apply. He needs to be held accountable for his poor behavior. No man/woman is an island and we all answer to someone.
There should be someone in your corner who carries the same weight, or more, as the offending MD. Let them clear it up. Maintain your dignity and professionalism. Keep doing a wonderful job and concentrate on your patients care.
