I didn't think about before but I guess people without medical knowledge might rely on what they have learned on the Tube! Wow, get off the candy, indeed! sam

great post love and you have certainly acquired the professional attitude
caring and non judgemental.

This is why you can be a nurse, and I couldn't.

I have no patience for the wheel...   Not on a regular basis, anyway!

But I will say, for those of us on the gurney or otherwise on the receiving end of care, a nurse with humor, patience and compassion goes a long, long way to easing fears, and learning even to listen, and hear, and if nurses like you weren't there to counter the abrasive and arrogant, many who need care would not dare to seek it.  Or they would come in already defensive and cocooned in their own notions.
