   lost soul replied to lost soul's topic in General Nursing

   I dont think that men want a man to do any kind of nursing on them.. I mean that they dont prefer a male over a female. They may be just gettiung you to do their job with that as the excuse. A male foley is quite simple. Females can be a real pain to...
