Interpretations please

It's not good:rolleyes: The speaker basically said the nurse had no gentle nurturing instincts. I, personally think gentle nurturing instincts are overrated. I would prefer a nurse who could pull me from the brink of death single handedly while sipping coffee and barking orders. But that's just me.

I don't know....there was a Clydesdale who befriended a hound dog and they would play football together.

Over the years, they....wait....I think that was a beer commercial.

this is random........?

this is random........?

which is exactly why I ask...a patient's family member actually posted this on their blog and it spread through our unit like wildfire! We cannot figure out what it means.

Kinda makes me feel like we should have some kind of protection maybe NIPPA insteady of HIPPA...LOL

in all seriousness....I think it was a sarcastic insult. kind of like when people have asked me about a certain co-worker and I've said "there's just not enough good things to say..."

but a family member posted it on their blog? wow. it's nice to see that gratitude is still alive and well.

They are well known to be the beautiful, powerful workhorses on the farm. The heavy duty powerhouses. Gentle, Graceful, Powerful Giants in their field!

I always think of Clydesdales as friendly, comfortable horses. I wouldn't think of it as an insult at all, unless the tone was negative or mean.

I googled 'instincts of a Clydesdale' and found only pleasant references to this magnificent horse. They are highly intelligent horses who thrive on companionship.

Although it seems a strange comparison, it's doesn't seem to be an insult.

:eek:It was an insult, but not very well done. Maybe that was the idea. If ever called out, the writer could explain it away.

Sounds to me like somebody's family member didn't get their feet rubbed. YUK!!

My pet peeve. Does anybody else get pt's asking you to rub their feet?

Being a generally non-animally sort of person, I would take it as an insult, as Clydesdales are thought of as huge, clumsy type creatures. I know, I know, several of you have just said how wonderful they are as individual creatures, but...I still think it was a negative comment.
