| awwwww Dew *hugz* I feel ya girl! Not the same situation exactly, but I've been in the situation of trying to explain to people the WHY's of things, and they REFUSE to listen! Irks me to know end!
You live it, you know it ... all you can do is tell them what you know, do your best to educate them ... then it's up to them to take care of business! I know it hurts to have to just sit back and watch, but you can't force anyone to do something they don't want to, or are unwilling to do!
As for the sister nurse, SHE is the exact reason I'm loosing all faith in the medical community, and what spirited my comment the other night about people getting their medical degrees from a $9.95 course from WalMart! I find it REALLY sad that patients know more, and have to educate their doctors and others that are SUPPOSED to know these things! That's why THEY have those lil letters behind their names! UGH
