Hmmm...maybe I didn't go back far enough but I know there was a time when nurses
weren't even permitted to change bandages. Anyway, my only point was that I
liked the suggestion of *QelHom* for nurse when I first heard it. MO did say is
was a good suggestion. Honestly, the post is on the newsgroup. And really, it
was a good suggestion. I can't remember who came up with it but it was clever.
I'm a nurse. It's my opinion.

No, I don't consider "giving comfort" to be work. It's the best, most fulfilling
aspect of my job. And even if it comfort "was" the only thing nurses do, it
certainly would not be stupid or silly.
