Surgeons tend to get a bad rap amongst nurses. Not necessarily in my institution necessarily (or consistently), but in life, in general. They can be known for bad bedside manners. They can be known for being short (in personality, not stature). They can be known for talking down to all non-surgeon personelle. She came...
