Questions About Nurses (Q&A)

Image
I've been asked 5 questions about my interactions with nurses. I have had many dealings with the medical system over the last half of my life. So I decided to answer them here on the blog instead of my YouTube tag channel. Here they are, feel free to use the questions for yourself. 1. What is your opinion on nurses who work in hospitals? I just got out of the hospital and a number of them where in charge of my care. They where all attentive and caring people. Yes, they do actually talk about people behind their back (I know 2 nurses personally), but when dealing with you, they are very professional and treat you with respect.

But the wait is often very long, and most of the time the attack would have ended by the time I got in. I'm having one at this very moment by the way.
