It's because there pain became yours and you bonded to them. Seeing them not as a patient but another human being with feelings and pain.
You know I have more faith in nurses then doctors sometimes. And I don't think they give nurses enough physical, or psychological support. You know truck driving is a profession,policeman or police woman is a profession, engineering is a profession. Nurses a profession, doctors a practice? I guess they practice until they get it perfect? But they practice on us.

Here’s my shameless plug for nurses…

Had a MOHS procedure done on my hand bout three years ago. My dermatologist has been carving me like a Christmas Turkey for over ten years and I finally came up hot.

So they cut this hole in my hand and it turns out to be Squamous cell carcinoma😮. Long story short about a week later, my hand is going numb. Thumb and pointer and middle ( which gets used often for shitty drivers) so need that one! I call and talk to a nurse who tells me “they hit a nerve, give it 8-10 weeks and all will be normal.” Well I can’t do my job with a numb hand so go out on short term for the 10 weeks.

Go in for my month check up and tell the Doc, what was going on. She pops chaff and swears on a stack of bibles that she didn’t cut far enough down to hit a nerve and that it’s probably carpal tunnel? 🤔…I”m like, I’ve had this hand attached to me for 54 yrs and it’s never had CT before, only after YOU cut on it! We went back and forth and agreed to disagree. I guess she was scared shitless I was going to file a malpractice suit?

Long story short? The numbness went away in week 9…just like the NURSE said it would! 🥰
