doctors, obviously. a much more woody sort of word. -nurses are a bit tinny.
And some docs wouldn't do certain jobs. So it's down to the nurse to do the job!!!!
And some HO are so useless in a hospital environment that I sometimes wonder how they got through their exams etc.!!!

Nurses - if the way in which Alex has been looked after, most Doctors dont know one end of a stethescope from the other and as for patient interaction it shouldn't be allowed.
We get a lot of complaints about that.
It's not only the young HO's even the Consultants do that sometimes.
Talking infront of the patient about the patient to other fellow doctors and then leave.

My wife has been a registered nurse for 31 years and she likes it when the new doctors ask her for advice.

Yeah, we get ask a lot which is quite nice. But that wears off quickly as well.
I am a RGN (reg Nurse) for nearly 10 years now and one thing I think every August: Those kids getting younger and younger!!!
Must be me: I am getting older.
