Humorus List of Hospital Job Roles


Years ago when I was doing clinicals for school, I came across this plaque hanging on the wall of an inpatient unit with a list of hospital jobs and their job roles (ie, Housekeeping, Respiratory Therapy, Nursing Assistant, Nurse, Physician, etc). The list was humorusly worded and ended with the Nurse ultimately being the one in charge. I can't remember which hospital I saw this or what the name of the "Poem" was. Does anyone know anything about this and how I can find it? I would greatly appreciate any help. Thank you.
