Wonderful post Sistah. My mother has been an RN for over 40 years and is in the process of retiring this year. She works at one of the local hospitals there in Vegas and you should hear some of the horror stories she tells me from time to time. She's told me on several occassions that although the Docs are on call 24/7 they will go home with their medical garb on and come back to work the next day with the same thing on.

She also mentioned that a lot of them are intoxicated while performing surgery and they make many many mistakes!! That's why she always told me to ask several questions regarding procedures and medical exams. Hell, I'm at the point now where I have the nurse use hand sanatizer before taking my blood pressure and should they need to take blood, I wanna make sure the needle comes from sealed plastic.
