"Cocky" doctors!

You know, acceptance as a male nurse is kind of tough sometimes. Especially with me--cause my hair is longer than most of the women I work with! That is, LOTS and LOTS of stereotyping going on. However, I do sense a slight tension in the air when male doctors interact with female nurses. Kind of like they (the doctors) are on the upper end of the hierarchy of existance. I don't know...maybe it's just my imagination?

Brings me to a joke I just remembered: This awsome surgeon dies and goes to the gates of heaven. There he finds a very long line. Kind of like a 90% off sale in the mall around Christmas time! Anyway, he thinks to himself "yeah right, like I'M suposed to wait in THAT line, huh." So he advances to the front of the line as he boasts his surgeonistic title to the peasants waiting patiently. At the front of the line he is welcomed by the one and only St. Peter. Dr. so and so sees someone walking by carrying an old-fashioned Dr's bag with a stethescope around his neck. The "cocky doctor" asks St. Peter the following: "Hey Pete, who is THAT?" St. Peter replies, "oh that's God--He's playing doctor today."
