I am a male nurse and as a professional I understand the importance of incident reports. However, I am stunned to find how nurses file such reports on each other far more than physicians. I admire how they help and protect each other, while nurses seem to relish in joy at the demise of their colleagues. While not wishing to engage in stereotypes, I wonder if there is a link to gender and how gender groups treat each other since MD's have traditionally been male and nurses predominantly female.
