Why Do You Hate Nurses?

[Anonymous]

I wouldn't say that I hate nurses at all but I don't enjoy hearing their touchy feely take on a medical diagnosis. DH and I are research types and when someone is ill we're more comfortable with dealing with facts. We do better with the doctor that most people wouldn't like...the person who knows the science and can speak with specificity in those terms. In my experience, the nurses were pretty bad in conveying opinion as fact or not accurately communicating something.

Who the hell hates nurses? Every nurse I've ever had has been freaking awesome.

You would do better with that person, yes. Then the next person would come on here saying they didn't like their nurse/doctor because they spoke entirely in medical terms instead of plain language.
