[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 130695, member: 6467"] I'm with Hanna on this. Going through a training course means that the information has been made available and it has been retained for long enough to pass examinations. This does not mean that the information is imparted clearly and wisely afterwards, or that problems are addressed with a clear and analytical mind. Doctors are far more highly trained than nurses and I think we all have come across doctors who are thoughtful, proactive, caring and well informed. I suspect we have also come across doctors who are the opposite. In any profession there are those who perform well and those who just get by. There are plenty of posts about diabetic nurses who do not seem to listen to the patient or do not think for themselves. I think this qualifies as 'dumb'. To classify some nurses as 'dumb' does not classify all as 'dumb'. There are also posts about outstanding diabetic nurses. This does not mean that all diabetic nurses are outstanding. It is important to be aware that those in the medical professions are just as human as the rest of us and have all the same strengths and the same faults. Always be aware that the advice you receive is a personal view of received information (possibly out of date) and that you should always think for yourself and not follow blindly. Given all the above, when you realise that you may be more intelligent than your diabetic nurse it does not mean your nurse is 'dumb' (unless of course your knuckles have a tendency to trail in the dust ;-) ) Cheers LGC [/QUOTE]
