Alright, when I finish school I want to be a nurse, and I was talking with a friend today about 'House, MD' and i was like 'oh i hate that show it perpetuates the whole myth about nurses not actually doing anything and just being like assistants to the doctors,' etc. And she said "Oh well thats pretty true anyway, doctors can do everything that nurses can do, if they replaced every nurse with another doctor it would all run fine/better."
Now I know that she is wrong, but I just couldnt seem to articulate why she was wrong. I'm sure that you have all had something simillar said to you, and I get the 'oh but why not do medicine, your smart enough...' thing all the time. Could you maybe help me with some responses to what my friend said? Not with 'why not be a doctor' i already have lots for that.
Thankyou
Jack
