It's of course a frequent reaction, but startling, if not a tad frightening
to be coming from medical staff.  Doctors and nurses need to be very patient
people in order to deal with their patients in hospital.  And there are some
patients who can *really* test patience!  I work in a hospital, and it never
ceases to amaze me how nurses who are in the profession for the call
(healing the sick) are more and more in the minority.  Too many new nurses
are in it for the money first, patients second.  I also find it interesting
that those who really care about their patients have a pretty much zero
error rate on their paperwork and charting, probably because they take the
time to "do it right."

I'll get off my soapbox now...!
