What Bugs Me

Doctors who think they know more than they really do and talk down to you because of it.

Nurses who actually know more but I can't talk to them about it because the doctor insists I talk to him instead.

Dumb school-inflated heads. Just because you have more med school debt than nurses doesn't mean you no more than they do.

that really is so frustrating as a nurse and as a patient! you want to be a good patient and follow what the doc says but when you know its not what you need it is so hard! i think docs forget that WE know our own bodies better than they do! they fail to listen to us and what we are trying to tell them. they think because they have MD behing their name that they are better than everybody! its almost as if since we dont have MD behind our names we are simply "uneducated". jerks. sorry i went off.... as you can tell it kinda bugs me too :) make sure and talk to the doc and let him know what you are comfortable with. its your life. even if that means getting another opinion. good luck! and sorry again for going off on my little tangent (sp?)
