Guest guest Posted August 7, 2004 Report Posted August 7, 2004 At least with you they'd have the excuse you are a nurse, I never got anything higher than a C in biology in High School and didn't take a single bio related class in college, and it is still obvious to me!

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2004 Report Posted August 8, 2004 Jan I work the nursing floor, but I am a CNA. Now you tell me how a doctor can unlearn what I know darn well that he had time to learn, and then some things are just common sense. More and more, I keep seeing this. If 1 + 1 = 2, then how can 0 + 1 = 10? We don't even have to get into the higher sciences here, just know how to listen and read, and WE learn.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2004 Report Posted August 8, 2004 Sorry, but I just don't think that " you're too fat to be sick " is a viable mistake, and I see and hear mean little comments from doctors like that all the time. I can hardly think that it's exclusive to ONLY my area. And some things that a patient arrives at before her/hs doc does are just common sense, but they're still not believed, and the doc loses his patients singing strains of " I Did It My Way " . And that's not the stock market they're making mistakes on, that's my body.
