The question pretty much asked what task a nurse would fight to perform on a hot male patient... i only saw this because I was in a waiting room but the answers were to give a sponge bath, take a temperature (rectal), give a needle, or take their blood pressure............... I know this is a game show and I don't know who is surveyed for these questions or answers but for someone not taken off guard too easily I was pretty confused by the stereotyping. Thought it was interesting to mention.
Out of those 4 answers that were on the show (sponge bath, rectal temp, BP, needle stick), only one even makes sense in the twisted world where nurses are trying to sleep with their patients anyway.
I get the feeling that when they were to survey people for this question, a whole lot of people must have been like, "uh.....nurse things like checking vital signs and giving medication? Creep...."
You know, they would never make the question, "what would a doctor love to do to an attractive patient?"
I think that not many people would think that question was okay, because that would be assault and very inappropriate.
So why, if its a nurse, is it treated like a sexy scene in a Mediao? No! It would still be completely unethical!
Was this the show where a lady participant jumps and waves her arm yelling "an enema"? I know what you're talking about.'Family Feud' has DECLINED over the years. There has been a marked shift to snarky, innuendo, wink-wink, sexy questions. And nursing has taken a direct hit. The show doesn't profile law enforcement, military or school teachers. It does occ knock doctors & hospitals and the occ lawyer putdown. But nursing is always a joking matter.
I used to like Steve Harvey, but he has become a vehicle for the show's smarmy decline. He's like a puppet cartoon character for the show in an effort to bolster its ratings. Sad!
And it's sad that the 'hot, horny, sexy nurse' image is so rampantly promoted on this show. I haven't had to look at greeting cards lately, but 'get well' cards were on the same wavelength. As are Halloween costumes still.
The image still exists and will continue to do so even in spite of all the advanced education.
Time for telling the network and the producer and sponsors your thoughts. No time for "sad".

Or" what would a male nurse love to do to a hot female patient?"
You know, in my professional circle, I'm known as being quite a lady's man.
I've been called "the Geriatric Gigolo" and "the Don Juan of Dementia".
Hey- if you've got it, you've got it!
