" Yeah, sounds like a grumpy old Doc talking. :>D I do equate women in Medicine with Nurses, and as I said before, frontline in the business. Actually, Kathy, the cute nurse you often see in my work is an Advanced Practice RN, Masters in Psychiatric Nursing. She is a public Health Nurse, currently one of the people administering smallpox vaccine to first responders. Since working in the public sector means less income, she moonlights as a Home Health Nurse, primarily working with home-bound psychiatric cases, though she does general practice nursing in that role too. That doesn't mean that I think less of the many women in other roles of Health Care, or the men, Grumpy or otherwise. I just know and appreciate nurses better because of my close connection to the profession. How did you like the shot?
